Finally got my copies of the new collection from Chaos and Ink Books!!! I've got a long poem in here about the Wisconsin Werewolf, the Beast of Bray Road. Here's the first page; I hope you enjoy it! #poetry #wisconsin

Book entitled "Of Ballads and Bards: A Narrative Poetry Collection presented by Chaos and Ink Books"

Excerpt reads:
"The Beast of Bray Road
by David M. Briggs

Afar north in my native land
a land of ice and snow
a land of milk, of barley wine,
of 'Ope!' and 'Don't'cha know"

We while away the winter nights
with tales of sport and fear
of fallen hero quarterbacks
the like ye hain't had here

of monsters like the serpent swimming
swift beside La Crosse
or Lake Superior Herself
who ne'er gives up her lost

or Hodag up in Rhinelander
(a tiger that's a toad)
but few tales have I ever heard
alike to Old Bray Road
alike to Old Bray Road"

Tokyo Requiem - Shuake Noir AU Zine @shuakenoir.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Is that some flirty cigarette-lighting I spy in this fic excerpt from @halberdbooks.bsky.social? With spot art from @ciamomiie.bsky.social? See for yourself in #TokyoRequiem, a #ShuAke noir zine, currently open for preorders at shuakenoir.bigcartel.com 🚬

Tokyo Requiem fic excerpt and spot art. The art shows Akechi and Akira at a dimly-lit bar. Akira, looking smug, is using a match to light a cigarette in Akechi's mouth. Akechi looks surprised. The excerpt reads as follows: "Tough crowd," he whispers to himself.
The bourbon appears, and the low-level babble of the others begins again, as if it never stopped.
The detective tries to light a cigarette. Sparks, yes, but nothing catches.
Swiftly, from nowhere, a lit match appears. Lights the tip of the smoke.
"What's a boy like you," the man attached to the hand holding it begins.
"Doing in a place like this?" the detective continues, blowing his smoke in his accoster's face.

The fic is by David M. Briggs, writing as Halberdier, who is HalberdBooks on bluesky, twitter, and tumblr, and Halberdier on AO3. The art is by ciamomiie on bluesky, twitter, and tumblr.

Teaser for a piece by David M. Briggs in Colorful Nights, a ShuYuka fanzine. Teaser header asks the author "Why do you love ShuYuka?"

The author responds:

"What if you had to be whatever people wanted you to be so often that you weren't even sure what you were underneath it all? What if you recognized this in someone else, and they found you worth the difficulty in finding the truth together?"

"Stories and Sangria" by David M. Briggs from November and the Wild Year and Everything that Followed (2026) #poetry #poem #lovepoetry #lovequotes #davidmbriggs

We are talking about stories as always
and I have had a peach sangria and you
stop the conversation and look at me and
say, “I want to try something for a second,
just to see how it feels,” and we lean in, I
know exactly what is going to happen and
yet nothing, absolutely nothing could have
prepared me -- not the day we met and I
thought you were gorgeous and wanted
to talk about poetry and stories with you for
hours, not even my birthday I pulled you aside
and apologized, nearly sobbing into a seven
and seven for being a bad friend who just
could not keep my feelings to myself, not the
years trading tales over texts or tabletops --
nothing could have prepared me for how it felt
for you to kiss me for the first time, breathy, soft,
but more powerful than I assumed, me, reeling,
agonizing over how to react, how to kiss back
when I have spent ages imagining the touch of
your lips and your hands are in my hair and your
breath is on my face and though I know this is not
a promise, not a declaration, barely a statement,
but now I am ruined, for a moment, in the most
glorious way, my entire body is screaming, and
whatever happens next feels thousands of years
away from this moment and I am intoxicated far
beyond what one glass of sangria can boast and I
want to fall to my knees and be a part of something
bigger, and yes, I know that nothing can be certain
beyond this, and yes, I know we understand the ways
this won't work, this can't work, the ways I know
I'm only doomed but in this moment I am owned, I am
subsumed, and I am thrilled to know that I will never be
free from this feeling and never will have to be, and
when we are done, you lay your head on my chest
and then look up, your hands on my face, and you
say in this electrifying low voice like nothing I have
ever heard, “I’m sorry I can’t promise anything more,”
and all I have wanted is not to feel guilty about the way
thinking about you keeps me awake at night, not to feel
that I have betrayed your trust by imagini…
