If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.
This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.
A truly Black Friday.

I just want to say that I’m personally disgusted by most US policies right now. We should be fully supporting Ukraine, insisting on justice for Palestine, turning away from fossil fuels, making healthcare and education accessible to everyone, and treating immigrants humanely. Fuck this.

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Black Friday is capitalism gone mad, but you know what IS a great deal? Buying great horror books. Especially SIGNED great horror books direct from the author. Just saying.
Hi! I'm Alan, a horror writer from Tasmania. Talking Scared called me "The Lord of Weird Australia" and This is Horror called me "Australia's master of literary darkness." The graphic below shows all my stuff and how it interacts. I hope you'll give something there a go. More here: alanbaxter.com.au

I rarely read anything other than weird horror and SFF, but decided to give crime fiction a go.
King of Ashes is the best book I've read this year; it was difficult to put down, perfectly sculpted characters, tense, dark, it made me cry
Out of comfort zone often pays off. Ordered more S. A. Cosby

It's been a while since we visited the weird harbour town of Gulpepper. But now we're going back. The third volume in the Tales From The Gulp is coming in February 2026. Another five tales of horror. Are you ready for The Rise?
