RARE from Alex Parker Publishing is an anthology of stories about secrets, which tend to lean horror. Stand-outs (for me) include "Remedy" by @rowanwolfauthor.bsky.social and "The Stuff Legends are Made Of" by @esraye.bsky.social. Really enjoyed this; honored that I was able to be a part of it!

#WIPSnips "event"

“I’m going to need you two at this Devastation Day masquerade ball coming up. You’ll be there, right?” The question felt more like a command.
“I hope so.” Another lie.
“I don’t know if I can handle an event like that without my right-hand man.” He was being manipulative—trying to ensure Kyrien attended without needing to order it. He would absolutely order it if Kyrien refused, though.

#WIPSnips Sorry, it's a long one today. But you are getting 9 instances of "nose" for the price of 1.

“I would like you to use your power to shift the perception that my successor must be a male. I want the people to entertain the idea that Princess Sabi may someday be queen. As my only heir, she will undoubtedly inherit the power of the Gods from me. But if I want the transition to be free from conflict, I’ll need your help.”
The king’s eyes had gone from blind fury to unprecedented vulnerability in a matter of minutes.
“I have an idea about that,” Kyrien said.
“You do?” The touch of hope in his voice was encouraging.
“Yeah.” Kyrien let the idea develop in his mind for the span of a breath. “So, there could be this group of people from some faraway land who have dicks for noses.”
A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of the king’s lips.
“Maybe the ruling class of people have these dick-like noses, and the people with normal noses aren’t allowed to be royalty.
“Anyway, I could get a lot of laughs showing them eating and stuff. They’d have to lift their dick noses to drink tea so they didn’t burn the tip, for example.
“There could be a matter of succession they have to deal with, where someone argues that only a dick nose can rule. Someone asks why, and the dick nose says something about it always being this way.
“The normal-nosed person could say, ‘But I’m smarter and better suited to lead,’ or something. And the dick nose could say, ‘Everyone knows we’re superior to you lot in every way, including intelligence,’ right before he burns his flaccid cock nose in his tea.” Kyrien shrugged again. “I don’t know. It’s just the beginning of an idea.”
