Release Day!! 🥳 My first-ever novelette, "Have Hands, Will Hench," is out with foofaraw! It's a tale from the POV of an indebted henchman. A fable of a mad supervillain boss. A tragedy of unaffordable healthcare... 🥲 Buy it here or wherever you get your books! 😌 foofaraw.press/have-hands-w...

Synopsis screenshot:
"In a world... ravaged by global warming and wars, Banana Brian is forced to take a job as a supervillain's henchman to pay off his student loans. In order to survive, Brian must find a way to pay off his giant debt, avoid kleptomaniac henchmen, find shortcuts to freedom, and avoid getting killed by rampaging amoral superheroes, the supervillain's brutal enforcers, and a nasty infection he got from a cut..."

Cover for "Have Hands, Will Hench" by Lily Lachance. A bearded man with a red wristband looks into his reflection in a cup of coffee, with a banana lying nearby.

4. A funky, melancholic story from @keyanbowes.bsky.social about a young woman whose trauma has caused ice to grow in her eyes, propelling her modelling career. 5. A sardonic weirdness from @hanmarin.bsky.social where an inquisitive monastic order votes to remove the body part central to passion.

What to expect from Issue Five when it’s available in two days? 1. A gorgeous mystery from @emharriettwrites.bsky.social about a man whose memory was stolen, the villagers who take him into their campfire, and the witch down the road who guides him toward new meaning. Deep and delightful.

I know it’s September 22nd and I’m technicallycheating but i missed this yesterday, ok? A scene from a turn-of-the-century rural France/folk-horror/shapeshifter/coming-of-age short story that’s currently on sub. #WIPSnips #horror #sff #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts

“The woman tilts her head as if considering, white grin cutting through the gloam. Gilles
does not break her gaze, though he begins to feel as though his eyes are burning, sizzling, melting.
"A saddle of horse leather." She adjusts herself on her saddle, and pulls the reins of her
stallion. "Baptize it in the stream that flows from under the mountain the one that connects this forest with your world. Do so on the very last night of this moon. No sooner, no later."
Gilles opens his mouth to question, but the woman rears her chestnut up and gallops
away. In the clearing, his horse-bride has already gone. Gilles inspects the moon.
He has three nights.”
