Though I liked how it started more than its ending, I hope it opens the door for more weird stories in that universe.

This could've been so cool. And to be honest, I think ALIEN had that same potential.

One word at a time. More realistically one paragraph at a time, but the former sounded better.

Vampyrrchic is a clever name. It implies a win or gain at such a great cost, it feels like a loss. The gain of immortality and power, but at the loss of your humanity, and those you've consumed, perhaps?

When I think of Michelle Yeoh's character I hear "It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?" I'm hoping Blade Runner 2099 can emotionally ruin me like the original and 2049 did.

My story, The Momentonomicon, which was a finalist in the 2025 Foofaraw Ordinary Contest and the N3F's 2025 Amateur Short Story Contest, will be included in Witches Save the World! Edited by Rebecca Buchanan and published by Gorgon's Gaze Press. On track to release at the end of August.

Oh man, one of Jennifer's cult classics! I knew this film as Phenomena at first, which I kinda prefer as its title. It's really unassuming, like the story itself. It really caught me off guard in the third act. If you know, you know.

In a world where "AI" submissions are a plague, human-written stories are the cure for an editor's breaking heart. Don't let the flood discourage you from sending your work out there. You are better, no what the hype of the moment says. We want your stories. Not the slop-infested noise.

So we stealthily (or so I thought) re-launched our submission call for novelettes yesterday with an optional (but encouraged) $3 submission fee and I was shocked to see we already have multiple submissions 😱

I'm often forgotten about until I make a sound. "Don't scare me like that!' I was here the whole time. You didn't hear me walk in?
