I'm going to have to do more patches to slowly take over the entire vest. We do have one that hasn't been posted anywhere. I'm waiting for the right time to post it. 🤫

I just put all the (previously released) anthologies on the Filthy Loot website for $8 (each) for our 8th anniversary. I say previously released because I also just put up the preorders for two new ones, BodyPunk 2 and Fucked Up Stories 3! Here's to eight more years! 😫

Last night I dreamed writers started getting sponsorships like bands and athletes (don’t tell anyone I mentioned sports, I have a rep to uphold). I was sponsored by Field Notes and Kaweco. If someone can make this happen, let me know. The $$$ I spend a year on Field Notes alone needs to stop. 🥰

I was flipping through this book of essays by DiTrapano, nerding out over design choices (I don’t see you having a better hobby), when the very first thing that jumped out at me was a reference to the Olivia Newton-John movie Xanadu! Serendipity? Xanadu, Pennsylvania comes out tomorrow!

I sometimes dream about being on just one SM platform. Then I read they made a doc about relaunching Myspace as the anti-algorithm alternative, and suddenly that goes out the window. I should be editing books right now, but I'm trying to “engage”. Do you now feel engaged? Follow us on Myspace? 🪦

Do you live in the Midwest? Are you a horror creative? You have until tomorrow 🫣 (July 15) to enter the lottery for a table at One of Us: Horror Book Fair. We're looking for more than authors and publishers, and we're hoping to build an even more diverse mix of horror creatives.

An old anatomical illustration showing a woman in 19th century dress, her back to the viewer and unclothed to reveal some manner of pox. A single blue eye, wide as a shoulder, looks out from her upper back. Below the illustration reads the title "Cráite"

This evening’s escape from reality brought to us by Edwin Callihan and @filthyloot.bsky.social . Small town dirt bags, over-the-top violence, and pervasive entropic decay by cosmic forces beyond mortal ken are absolutely my jam!

A copy of Edwin Callihan’s ‘Strange Spells’ in the ever portable Filthy Loot novella format. Fits in a pocket!
