Given what we've seen in the files so far, are they actively investigating? Where are the arrests, the perp walks? If a cabal of rich pedophiles sexually abusing young children can't move us, we're lost.

Hey friends! I have a brand new story up at The Dark. Somewhat autobiographical, and one of the favorite things I've written for that. I hope you'll give it a read. It is a bit strange and dark.

White supremacy is when an incompetent 23-year-old white boy can fabricate a story about Somalis and get personal praise from POTUS—but two seasoned award winning Black journalists with decades of unassailable reporting behind them get arrested for reporting on a protest with facts & receipts.

the roberts court so fundamentally betrayed the constitution that they created a monarchy, and we are all being forced to live through the insane dotage of america’s first king since George III.

were it possible to convict justices of treason on the grounds of bad jurisprudence, they’d deserve it.

I know issue 12 isn't even out yet—soon—but revel in the glory of the cover and contributors of issue 13 (Summer). Art by James Hutton. Design by Vince Haig.

I'll be doing a big pre-order push soon on our 2026 titles to try and secure some much-needed operating funds.

Excellent reading if you like weird fiction, and hark! … some contemplation of my story “A Woman’s Place Is In The Haunted Home” can be found within…

(with thanks to @undertow.bsky.social for including it in The Best Weird Fiction Of The Year).
For the @strangehorizons.bsky.social 2026 Criticism Special, I wrote about weird fiction being constituted by weird reading, vis a vis Sederholm and Woofter’s The Weird and @undertow.bsky.social’s The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Vol. 1., in tribute to Maureen Kincaid Speller. It’s a long one.

Folks, good people hoping to do even more good. Please give their crowd-funding campaign a look.
Hey friends, can I ask you all to give our @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social Crowdfundr a look? Any amount helps us with our workspace renovation plans, if you're not able (which I understand!), if you could share the link that would be amazing. Love you all! 🤗🧡 👻📚
