This is Drabble #1 from the May '26 open call for Anhedonia Press. Over 50 submissions and only 2 were selected. “The Gardener” by Arvee Fantilagan is a fantastic, weird story. The second story will be published the last week of Oct. Free to read 🛖 anhedoniapress.wordpress.com/2026/10/02/d...

Nearing two months since release of my book Even Gods Can Die and I still don't know what am I doing with these reels. But thank you to everyone who's interacted with these things, checked out the book, bought it, etc. 🖤

One time someone tried for the HWA volunteers to have a free entry for Stokers (the event they worked and received basically nothing except one con), but they were told this.

Even Gods Can Die is out now! This book has been in the works for a while, and it's a relief (and anxiety inducing) that it's finally released. Hopefully everyone checks it out (it's on kindle unlimited to save you some money)! Thanks to all the early readers and reviewers!

The options for CYOH #4 are below, with my own notes (story still based on voting, notes/ideas not definitive). Some options are more fleshed out than others. I’ll keep this poll open until July 7, 2026, then I’ll get working on CYOH #4. Part 1 will release sometime in late July/early August.

Choose Your Own Horror #4 is upon us and everyone can vote! This one will be different than the previous iterations that I think will be more interesting as a reader and challenging as an author.

2 more months until Even Gods Can Die releases on Aug 7th! Trying my best to keep the promo train going, because feels like this one needs it the most. I know readers of melancholy will really enjoy, the sort you finish & you're like, "Damn..." Just hoping the algo lets it seen like it deserves.

Homecoming, my little cult/small town horror book, turns 1 today! It was the first book that began my renewed journey of self-publishing and starting my own imprint. It set the aesthetic for artwork for following releases, too. I hope it will continue to find weird horror readers as time trudges on.

The concept of Even Gods Can Die was actually born from an intro from an episode of X-Files. I wish I could remember the episode, but it wasn't anything amazing. In it, someone is leaning into a car and doing something to someone.

Senor was a short tale about the battle of dark and light in the form of cosmic hair fibers. While the artwork was wonderful—per usual—the story really left me wanting more. It's one of those reads that you start and finish, feeling "just okay" about it.

Poisoned Folk Tales edited by A.C. Hessenauer, a folk horror anthology, includes my weird/folk tale about a grief-stricken woman coming upon an old woman in the woods, "The Things from the Woods" Originally published in Flame Tree Press's Weird Horror anthology in '22, I'm glad it's been re-homed.

Micah Castle 🎃 @micahcastle.com · 11/05/2026

Even Gods Can Die is a story I didn't or don't anticipate to sell well—it's not horror, nor supernatural. It's a story filled with grief, death and dying. Melancholic but at a thriller pace. Yet, I love it, it's a story I would want to read, so I hope there's others out there like me. See less

Micah Castle 🎃 @micahcastle.com · 08/05/2026

EVEN GODS CAN DIE is a melancholic, crime/noir/grief story through-and-through. Best way to describe it is a “sad book for sad people." It'll release August 7, 2026 and ebook/paperback can be preordered now! Artwork done by the amazing Red Lagoe, editing by the equally amazing Rachel Oestreich!

I'm gonna go with like 90/10 because the author seems to have using the same art style since '18. I pixel peep a lot and the other thing I thought was iffy but might be irrelevant/nit-picky was this - just a weird way for one shoe to be tied while the other's laces look entirely different
