Great response so far—we’d love to see more flash (fiction and non) and prose poems, but we’ll read whatever you’ve got ready!

Inner Worlds @innerworlds.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

💚💫 Issue Eight has landed! 💫💚 This one includes a larger-than-usual number of ghosts and doubles, and the usual dizzying range of emotions and experiences. If you're ready for a rollercoaster ride through our inner lives, check out the issue now: inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-eight-... #SFF #Horror

Inner Worlds cover with acid green masthead and artwork showing a part of a Black person's face in dark blue with a glitchy texture, surrounded by flame like shapes like heatvision hotspots, with green and yellow edges and bright scarlet centres. The person's gaze is very intense, and seems hurt, wary, angry.

We wouldn’t consider this work previously published because it hasn’t been shared publicly. Workshops are great! No downside here 😀

Kit Whitfield - fantasy writer @kitwhitfield.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

A lesser-known power of Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery' is where it comes in its collection. Spoilers, but I suspect you know how 'The Lottery' ends. It's famous for a reason. But this is important: Jackson arranged the collection it was named after, and she chose the arrangement. 1/

Battered vintage-looking book cover.

Text: 'Shirley Jackson. the most haunting writer of our time.
The Lottery
Adventures of the Daemon Lover'

The cover is deep black; in the right corner cluster a crumpled scrap of paper and a handful of stones.
