TFW you're really pushing yourself to write something different and new, but it's hard, so you kind of want to just go write the same old thing, but this story is burning in your soul and needs to come out, so you keep going, even though it feels terrible and scary 😭

I was thinking how nothing ever turns out like the fantasy she imagines it to 😂

Art featuring a human in unassuming clothing curled in a fetal position, hovering over a barren landscape against a sickly green sky.

Cover Copy:
One summer afternoon, Santi and Maria's daughter disappears without a trace from a public park. A fruitless investigation passes, the agony only serving to tear Santi’s life and family further apart.

Months go by, and Santi finally stumbles upon a clue: it is hardly a name, barely a whisper, but it is enough to reveal a haunting legacy and unleash an entirely new kind of horror upon the despairing young father:

“He Who Does Not Speak With Children.”

Back cover art for @santiagoeximeno.bsky.social's ALICIA IS IN THE BASEMENT by @jennacha.bsky.social, alongside lovely words from our buds @emmaemurray.bsky.social & @carsonwinter.bsky.social

Image depicts QR code and the cover of The Writhing, Verdant End, which shows a skeleton clutching binoculars while ghoulish animals writhe in the foreground.

Top text says, "Grab your copy of our newest Weird ecohorror nightmare at https://www.cursedmorselspress.com"

Bottom text is a five-star review of The Writhing, Verdant End by Emma E. Murray: "Such a wonderful first read of the year! Farrenkopf's weird, emotional journey through a Barkeresque nightmare future is brilliant and I'll certainly be revisiting. The short stories that follow by Morris are equally mesmerizing, with absolutely stunning descriptions and the ability to bond you to characters so quickly before breaking your heart. Raglin's contribution provides some much needed bits of levity while also keeping you on edge and turning pages to find out what will happen. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys eco-horror and grotesque but beautiful prose."

Have you checked out our recent release yet? @emmaemurray.bsky.social recommends it "to anyone who enjoys eco-horror and grotesque but beautiful prose." Check it out!
