Thanks Gabino. New story in the Schlock! Webzine. I tried to write a cosmic horror story and ended up with whatever "Mile High Death Club" is. A rock band brings on the end after driving their fans worldwide to mass-sacrifice... www.schlock.co.uk/pb/wp_b9ef15... amzn.eu/d/hKdH3pf a.co/d/dqMalX8

From "Mile High Death Club" in this month's Schlock! Webzine. A rock band possibly brings on the end as they cause their fans all over the world to mass-sacrifice and open a gateway to another realm... www.schlock.co.uk/pb/wp_b9ef15... #horror #horrorstories #pulpfiction #shortstories

After my English debut story was published in 2022, it took until 2024 before I started writing short stories consistently, and in 2025, my stories began to see the light of day again. Massive thanks to every single editor/publisher and reader! See you around in 2026. #crimefiction #horror

Michael Wegener @michaelwegener.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Thanks Gabino. I'll just selflessly repost this little 200-word micro fiction thing I wrote here. I titled it "Womb to the Tomb", it's utter nonsense, but might just usher in a new subgenre I call fetus noir. So, get your weird on, enjoy...you're welcome. #fridayreads

Little 200-word micro fiction I wrote, freshly rejected, and rightfully so. It's titled "Womb to the Tomb", it's utter nonsense, but might just usher in a new subgenre I call fetus noir... So come get your weird on, enjoy. #crimefiction #microfiction #flashfiction #noir #shortstories #booksky
