Thanks to everyone who shared, posted, & made deer puns with us! Sadly we didn't make funding this time, but MESSED UP DEER will return- they are always waiting, in the woods.
In the meantime, if you'd like a spooky deer for the wall, here you go!

Well, it's a bummer that @mercwolfmoor.bsky.social and my book of MESSED UP DEER didn't fund this time. Obviously, we're blue. But we're not giving up completely, and hope to revive the project soon when we're ready to tackle it again. Stay tuned, deers! ❤️🦌

*looks between this and @messedupanthos.bsky.social *
Reindeer apparently love and actively seek out fly agaric mushrooms/Amanita muscaria. There are many stories of humans drinking the urin of reindeer who had feasted on these shrooms as the reindeer's kidneys/liver filter out the toxins but not the psychedelic properties 🖤🌀🍄

Distinctly alarmed to find that the Moomin book I'm reading appears to contain an early sketch of the Jötunn monster from The Ritual (2017)

We would love to see ALL settings/time periods/vibes. :D As long as it's got messed up deer! (Deer POV? 👀Oooh...)
So yes, dark fantasy is welcome too! (You are gonna DIG Ashe Olivier Deng's story... it's dark fantasy that's fucked up.)
Humor is also okay!

halloooooo I had a look at the guidelines but can’t tell—what’s the editorial vibe re: types of horror? Mainly looking for contemporary? Will dark fantasy be considered? How about SPACE DEER? Thank :’D

Thank you for this information!
In that case, we will probably say no to have wendigos used in the theme, so we can be respectful of the Indigenous traditions. (Neither editor is Native.)
As always, we appreciate folks sharing things like this to help us make this the best it can be! <3

Ok, thanks - as a heads up, it's a closed tradition, so it may be good to note if they're being allowed so that folks can know if they want to engage with the anthology - it isn't widely known that it is indeed closed, but can be very offensive for people to see, especially played for horror
