Buy it and read my weird fiction story about occupying forces, popsicles, distrust, the flexibility of concepts like “citizen,” eye jelly, helicopters, and the Edmund Fitzgerald. I think it’s quite good and fairly unpleasant; I hope you will too.

Deeply nuts, Ballardian, and a masterpiece of cheerful brutality. Loved every second of it.

This was my first book by @charleneelsby.bsky.social and I found it to be an absolute delight. Recommended for fans of absurdist Ligottian corporate horror. Very witty, clever, and engaging. Get it from @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social

OUT TODAY Poor Damned Souls Love, suspicion, necrosis... The ticking of The Money Store's 15-minute safe, the hum of fluorescents over gray carpet, the afterimage of a browser window, the weight of someone else's breath in your throat. Does it count if you cheat with a dead girl?

Finished this last night after it popped up on a "best of" list for 2025 and this is very good and tight story with an ending for which I was unprepared. I don't know if i'd call it horror or maybe just Career Weird (Careird? I'll work shop that) but it's worth your time and money.

The Organization Is Here to Support You by @charleneelsby.bsky.social is an incredible bureaucratic horror novel that reads like the love child of Kafka and the Tri-agency Guide on Financial Administration. I absolutely loved this pitch-perfect, hilarious book.

Today's 7 o'clock shill is ACT NOW! ON THIS BARGAIN OFFER, a zine featuring stories by @charleneelsby.bsky.social and @lormaggot.ca, two of my favorite Canadians. Collages by me! Only 100 copies were printed, and I think I have about 35 left. frombeyondpress.com/books/act-no...

Cover of the zine shows a black and white image of a young boy and girl.

title page for Charlene's story Fashion has a collage of a woman with a watch for a face, being watched by a dude in a fedora.

Title page for Lor's story shows a guy trying to pull his dick out of a contraption while a woman winks.
