I'm reading an early copy of Side Hustle: Horror Stories for Late Capitalism from @agitapublishing.bsky.social, and God, "TOM" by Michelle Sturges-Brown is such a brutal, sad, incredible story. Up there with "The Mub" by Thomas Ha for essential AI hater stories.

My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

Based on how Cursed Morsels: A Food Systems Horror Anthology is shaping up, I think it's a great companion to our most recent anthology, Under a Malevolent Eye. Both examine systemic issues through dark, strange, feel-bad literary horror. Check UAME out: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/unde...

It’s wild to me how often readers are engaging with female rage books and taking umbrage with the rage. You say that you support female rage but also believe in strictly legislating how it’s expressed? Look around, babe.
