Hard at work finalizing the text for this. Down to the last days of the KS campaign if you're interested.

Horror gaming in TOV is pretty great, fyi!

Haven't been doing a ton on the design side of things for a while, but I did write two of the adventures in KP's recently released Dungeons Deep. These are location-driven setups and easily adapted to any level of play (or system). Come splash in the slime with me!

TRANSCRIPT: Song of Spores
by Bogi Takács
Broken Eye Books
(Tags: Science Fiction, Fungal Fiction)

I love fungal horror and will give any sentient spaceship a shot, so when I read the description of this book, I was hooked right away. I loved the cranky insectoid grandma and the shy, shape-shifting trans character, but the fact that the antagonist is a clump of sentient fungal spores really set this apart for me. This is a book familiar with tropes and readers’ expectations but chooses to purposefully flip them around and see what’s underneath. Examining what, or who, counts as alive and why we need to classify everything this way is exactly the sort of mind-expanding question I want science fiction to ask. —Brianne Kane, Associate Editor/Books & Rights Manager

Am delighted that Song of Spores by @bogiperson.bsky.social is one of Scientific American’s Best Fiction of 2025!

Cover image for novel Better Living Through Alchemy. Features a strange amalgam of a man, styled as Vitruvian Man with alchemical symbols surrounding.

Yas! Better Living Through Alchemy has won the Small Spec Book Award. Now time to take drugs and be gods in the monster-infested streets of Seattle. (Congrats, @evanjpeterson.bsky.social!)

After a last-minute price hike from the web host of over 300%, I decided to move the Broken Eye Books site to a new host and rebuild. And the former host pissed me off in other ways, so this was equally fueled by spite. New site is up, though incomplete. Will be filling it back out in coming weeks.

“Mike Allen’s Trail of Shadows is a tense, tight, and constantly surprising novel. A hike down the Appalachian Trail into a realm of shadows and surreal horror, it will keep you up late, and it cements Mike Allen as a horror and suspense writer to keep your eye on. I can’t recommend it enough.”
—R. S. Belcher

TODAY!

Boy, am I grateful to my fellow Roanoke, VA, dark fantasy & horror scribbler R.S. Belcher: I’m so glad he found my just-released TRAIL OF SHADOWS worthy of these kind words.
