@toddedillard.bsky.social 's collection Ways We Vanish is perfect for you, you will love it, guaranteed

Why do you want?

this one guys, it's good. tearjerker level

if it's any consolation I think you have a terrifically unique voice, I could not pigeonhole your work if I tried—it's really unlike anything else I've ever read and I always look forward to more

day 2: a small room with five plastic chairs, set up for execution. one by one they die, except for the last, whose death machine malfunctions. they crawl after me across the linoleum floor, anguished voice scraping out of their throat.

day 1: an old friend, disregarding years of distance, approaches and caustically inquires how my life is. her face warbles with static like a tv screen. later, she dissolves as we are jaywalking across a busy street. I wish her absence well.

don't forget this one 😅

"where" is a place on the clock, hands can touch it

if you've "Chosen" to listen, assume you're complicit

(followed by "The Encausting" by @christinogle.bsky.social, one of my favorite stories from her third collection (!!), One Eye Opened in That Other Place!)

PERCIPIENCE, by @michaelsellars.bsky.social, cosmic horror, unorthodox presentation of narrative, and a cerebrally stimulating central mystery invoking metafiction by story's end. highly recommended—a quick read, fast-paced, and dread-soaked throughout. fans of Area X will find much to enjoy here!

just wrote 2100 words about a guy who menaces another guy in a bar with a five-inch hunting knife, accompanied by the keening crash & wail of "I Wish It Would Rain Down" by Phil Collins

fascinating. clocking in at about 45 minutes, a study of numbness & banal placidity, cracking like thin ice under sustained pressure. don't expect any answers from this elliptical and ambiguous film. misophoniac beware: its aural madness is communicable, and lingers like an invisible echo.

Wait til you get to the title story. Oh, hell, wait til you turn the page. You may as well go ahead and order The Inconsolables now if you haven't already, too

this is fantastic!

oh man I love My First Wife so much, and the stories in False Bingo are like beautifully-cut jewels ("Any Other" is incredible, though "Lone" in the Tiny Nightmares anthology, is my favorite of hers)

this is great! love the slow skewing of residental unease—reminded me a little of Jac Jemc's excellent novel The Grip of It!

though approaching the end of my two-year contract at Spooky House Press, it's always still such a joy to see new readers embracing theｓｃｒｅｂ

11. "Signature Dish" by @spinetinglers.bsky.social, pub'd in THE THICKEST SOUP YOU'VE GOT!—a mixture of sadness and dread (with a soupçon of body horror) with notes of love, identity, and even artistic inspiration, all while infusing a deft, surprising sense of humor. I licked the bowl clean!

10. "The Rider," by @brianevenson.bsky.social
, pub'd in GOOD NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT (init. pub Weird Horror)—a crisp, harrowing fable seeming to allude to addiction & codependence, told in unnervingly mirage-like prose that wavers when you squint at it. had me shuddering in revulsion and terror

that Tufte book is indispensable. absolutely love it

9. "Memorabilia," by @timaeusbloom.bsky.social (retd.), pub'd by Cosmic Horror Monthly: a piece about the keepers of the past and the corruptive force of memory—calling History itself to the witness stand and just seething with grotesquely beautiful imagery

8. "The Death Factory," by @carsonwinter.bsky.social (forthcoming, y'all will have to wait for 16 January to read it in 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴): deftly-told with a foreboding core and an ending whose shadow stretches far, far beyond the simple events of the telling—

7. "The Turn," by @tamikathompson.bsky.social, pub'd in UNSHOD, CACKLING & NAKED: a vicious, taut story that caught me totally off-guard and then had me grinning at how smartly written it was
