🙏🏻 Jason, Kim, & Bartleby, for publishing “Rebel with a Hope.” This “abduction” story has a special place in my heart, & it was submitted to #SciFanSat at 11:59pm—nothing like the last minute to spare! I’m delighted everyone has the chance to read it. I’d be pleased to know what you think of it.

On October 6, the R-SPEC team will suggest some of our favorite horror stories and novels. Bring an example or two of horror fiction to share. Tell us what won’t let you sleep at night, and what kept you turning the page to find out what happened next. Info @ r-spec.org
The October 6, 2026, R-SPEC meeting banner, titled “Autumn Story Campfire,” shows a night-time scene of a cabin in the woods. A group of people are gathered around a campfire and tinted images of an alien, a zombie, and a tombstone overlay the cabin image.
