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.

It does seem strange to celebrate anything these days, tbh, but I am happy to report I've sold another story to The Dark.

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.

The ideal reader of the weird has to embrace a kind of wilful suspension of foreknowledge or generic expectation.

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! 🤗🧡 👻📚

Weird friends! A must-read (as always) from @megapolisomancy.bsky.social on the expansiveness of weird fiction, critical approaches, temporality, and the numinous weirding. And more!

I left my old job a couple of years ago. I’m getting by (just) but crikey, having done my tax return & seen how little I’m earning it was a shocker, it’s getting more & more difficult to earn money from illustration.

I have been out of action too so…I’ll get cracking!

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Absolutely loved "We Didn't Used to Be Like This" by @jackklausner.bsky.social from Weird Horror #11.

That creeping dread that one has lost touch with who they really are is everywhere, with strange photographs as an allegory for the loss.
