One of my favorite people on the planet has a book coming out in about two weeks. Tatratea by @alexwoodroe.com is a hallucinatory & cerebral exploration on isolation, & y'all shouldn't sleep on it. Romanian eco-horror. The good shit. 10/20/26 @clashbooks.bsky.social bookshop.org/beta-search?...

Oh, hai! Rest of World, my novella Fitcher's Bird comes out tomorrow! Australia, you've got another week to wait, sorry! And if the words "beautiful", "bleak" and "violent" don't sell you, then honestly I just don't know what's wrong with y'all! 🤣

All so good, somehow I only watched the original Alien for the first time last year and loved it! 🙈 Yes I used to never recognise actors film to film, possibly mild faceblindess or I just hadn’t built up my repertoire yet!

It was so unsettling! I loved the slow build of dread! I confess I knew nothing about actors when I saw it (my sister knows everything about actors so I sort of outsourced that part of my brain), now I want to rewatch to appreciate Sigourney Weaver et al! 😆

I’m guest editing the next issue of Agita; send me your weirdest <1000 word stories about weird art. Authors from marginalized backgrounds encouraged and prioritized. No AI bullshit. The weirder the better. agitamag.com/submissions/

Issue 3: Ekphrasis
Between October 17 and November 17, guest editor Zachary Gillan will accept submissions of weird flash fiction that features ekphrasis.
Ekphrasis is the verbal representation of a work of visual art.
Weird fiction is a verbal representation of the world, in order to unsettle it.
We want stories that live at the intersection of the two. Pieces that emphasize the eerie power of weird art, whether fully ekphrastic or embedded within a traditional narrative. How does the weird seep in as reality is doubly estranged from these two layers of representation? Cursed paintings, uncanny statues, haunted mezzotints-send us your stories of weird art.
Publication date: February 1, 2027

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.
