I have no idea if these award eligibility posts actually DO anything other than lay bare the good and silly work I've been lucky to achieve in 2025. 11 short stories published (on top of finishing my first novel)! I'm very grateful to all the editors and publications who've given my words a go!

Sparkle Barry is feeling grateful and giving thanks that he doesn’t have any giblets to yank from his disco ball bones because watching those plastic-wrapped organs get pulled out of the turkey was traumatizing! He’s recovering from the gnarly scene with a copy of NINETEEN LITTLE STAB WOUNDS, a chapbook of dark microfiction and flash by Alexis Dubon.

Pig races are the biggest bust, man. 5 minutes of the same pig puns you've already heard, then 10 seconds of action. I don't care about the backstory of Ham Solo or The Notorious PIG, just lemme see them hogs run.

@cohalloran.bsky.social is an author of dark fiction and president of @howlsociety.bsky.social. His novel "Pushing Daisy" is a haunting exploration of grief and toxic relationships. I loved his portrayal of flawed characters, which is also my favorite way to write stories!

This - this in damned SPADES - write because you love to write or because you have a story you believe is worth telling. Not because you want to "have written", as long as someone else puts in all the hard work that is necessary.

Still making my way through Silk and Sinew, but had to take a break to shoutout @chrishannhorror.bsky.social and his emotionally touching story "Under Blades We Lie Still". That's the kind of character-driven horror I LOOOOVE. Can't wait to read more from him!

I know it's 9:30 PM on the west coast so probably nobody is going to see this, but I have to say it before I forget. "Guilt is a Little House" by @jawmccarthy.bsky.social in Silk and Sinew is one of the best stories I've read all year. Damn.

There are some books I finush and immediately want to be a better writer. Bunny by Mona Awad was one, Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders was another, and now I can say definitively that the collection All We Want is Everything by @afsulli.bsky.social is another.
