We're still trying to raise funds to help my elderly parents and brother who is disabled get into a permanent home after a house fire. We have some estimates and all of them are pretty far out of our reach. Would greatly appreciate any shares of this link! gofund.me/ac93c03d5

TIL this is who apparently runs the Grievance Committee of the HWA. Patrick's still running unopposed. He's posted a weak statement on his substack saying he's grown as a person since creeping on Theo and "let the voters decide." There's no one else to vote for. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_T...

New ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of Lonesome and Festering just dropped! Rebecca appreciated its grossness, absurdity, and--huh, would you look at that--earnestness. If that kind of horror is your thing, preorder a copy: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/lone...
Thank you for the ARC! Raglin’s work is always entertaining. Lonesome And Festering left me giddy with disgust in the best way possible. The grossness and absurdity is refreshing and cathartic, I love anything that pushes against the usual horror tropes. At the same time, every story has an underlying earnestness, whether I’m rooting for the protagonist or not. Also there are multiple repulsive holes! Personal favorites were The Cystress and Fumigate Me.

🖤☠️MEET @iamchrisscott.bsky.social, BRAVE NEW WEIRD AWARD WINNER🖤☠️ In "The Sunflower Farmer", a mysterious man’s appearance on a wilderness trail cam sets in motion a bizarre series of events heralding a glorious and catastrophic new American era. Out July 14. Preorder: store.tenebrouspress.com
Red and black graphic box featuring cover art by Matt Blairstone; a human form seated, one hand on a book emblazoned with the Tenebrous skull & laurel. Where the screen cuts from red to black, the flesh is stripped from the human, exposing its skeleton. It thrusts its harm into the air, transforming into a death's head moth. It looks pretty cool.
And then there's a picture of the author next to it, who looks even cooler.
