So thrilled and honoured to see "Welcome to Spruceway" on this list.

Reactor Magazine @reactorsff.bsky.social · 22d

@bookjockeyalex.bsky.social is recommending a body horror summer camp, a Carmilla retelling, and a cursed postman (and many more). Which of August's must-read SFF short stories will you pick up first?

Must Read Short Speculative Fiction: August 2025 - Reactor

As someone who works in a school in Southern California, August and September are chaotic months with too much to do competing with weeks of baking heat and an overwhelming desire to be back on summer...

Are you looking for a spooky read this season? Check out the webcomic I created with my wife @larkspurns.bsky.social! It’s a queer paranormal romance, wherein witch sisters have to tangle with werewolves, vampires, and forest magic!

Happy full moon! Chapter 3: Part 4 of The Witch Wolf is now live at thewitchwolf.org!

The Sullivan Coven is surprised by the arrival of someone they trust… and the consequences are dire…

The Witch Wolf - a webcomic about the complications of love and magic by Dani Carr & Bree Williams 🌿

A comic page of a teenage girl, Esme, saying ‘Something’s wrong.’ A werewolf leaps out from a blood red background right at her.

Slay the Princess and Scarlet Hollow by @blacktabbygames.com (branching visual novels, I find the latter especially scary)

Beacon Pines by @hidingspot.games (the art is sweet but the plot can get scary - 80s/90s kid horror vibe)

Oxenfree by Night School Studio (hauntings and old experiments)

🍂 Sharing eerie and autumnal pieces every Monday/Friday to Halloween 🎃

Starting with an autumnal piece that starts in October before turning wintery.

There's a definite chill in the air today...

My poem "pics or it didn't happen" appears in No Contact:

in the too-early, I watched a milky warped sunrise its own reflection puddled on a string of cloud

Roseate spoonbills will splash their wings through the water as part of their beauty routine. Here's one doing so mid-splash, facing straight ahead towards the camera. I really love this shot. #birds
