Truly terrible news! My paleolithic cannibal story, 'Antecessor,' which featured in a charity anthology a couple of years ago, has found a home at @talestoterrify.bsky.social 'Antecessor' is in the deep time before almost 30 stories of mine that share a world, so keep an ear out for the familiar.

Welcome to another Free Fiction Friday! Today we have a story about what goes on in the labyrinth we call our minds. Things are definitely not as they seem in "The Bell Jar Frequency," by Gretchen Tessmer. magazine.trollbreath.com/the-bell-jar...

Social media image for the short story, "The Bell Jar Frequency," by Gretchen Tessmer, which appears in Trollbreath Magazine issue 9. Besides the magazine name at the top and the story title and author at the bottom, the image shows a faint outline of a human head as though we can see partially through it, and there's a brain inside in orange tinted colors.
