Remember.
If you don't know which person in your friend group is possessed by an ancient and nameless cosmic horror, it's probably you.

Hey podcasters

Beware of this scam please ⚠️

This site is using AI to copy podcasts & resell them without ads, podcasters haven't opted into this & you're not getting compensated

I've emailed to get mily podcast removed. I'd start checking if your podcast is on it too

podnews.net/article/podc...
Are publishers losing out? We see no evidence that publishers have knowingly opted-in to this service, or that they get any revenue from it. A company spokesman told Podnews that publishers did not opt-in to be included, and “there is no opt-out mechanism at this time”. The company also clarified that they do not compensate publishers directly. Some publishers promoted on the website offer their own ad-free versions through Apple Podcasts, SupportingCast or others. This tool could remove that revenue from publishers

A joyous Epiphany to our friends who observe !!!
Artistic interpretation of the three kings of the Epiphany. One holding a king's dagger (gold), one of smoking cup (frankincense), a skull (Myrrh, a traditional embalming agent)

Pals, I am so hype to have TWO stories on Ellen Datlow’s complete recommendation list for Best Horror - and also to be have the list be Stephen King and then me thanks to how the alphabet works. 😆

If you read either/both of these stories, I hope you love it/them.

This poem is dedicated to anyone heading back into work and having to endure dull conversation about what they got up to during the Christmas holidays.
New Year Office Chitchat How was your Christmas? you ask and I think of the bloodstained rug and the silent scraping of the spade in the garden at midnight and the wash wash washing of my hands and the dreams, those endless dreams which haunt the night-time and smudge their thumbprints on the day to come and I reply Super, thanks. Yours?
