MINESWEEPER, by @kyleor.land

Four days ago, I knew less than nothing about Minesweeper. When my family got our first computer, Minesweeper was just there. For years, I didn’t know that the numbers told you where the mines were. I stared at dead smiley faces, wondering “who is this for?”

CONVULSIVE, by @horrorsong.blog

“If art gives, this takes.” CONVULSIVE is a short story collection suffused with bad vibes (complimentary), a rhythm that will make your heartbeat stutter, beautiful descriptions of some of the worst shit you’ve ever witnessed—

BOUND IN FLESH: AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRANS BODY HORROR
ed. by @lormaggot.ca

Thirteen stories that test the boundaries of flesh, that poke & prod & twist & stretch & rip & tear the meat that binds you, that binds all of us, in a collection that’s sure to make you squirm. It’s disgusting (complimentary).

ANTIFA SPLATTERPUNK, ed. by @ericraglin1992.bsky.social

Warlocks in pointed, white hoods having their own black magic turned against them. A police-state run by pig-men in dead pig’s skin. Snorting ghosts & punching fascists so hard they pass through the Wall Between Worlds. Stories as resistance.

BRAVE NEW WEIRD, VOL. 3 (pub. by @tenebrouspress.bsky.social)

BNW V.3 is: a story that repeatedly tells you what it is not; trafficking your own organs to prove that you’re human; finding love in the backrooms; wikipedia editors bickering over apocalyptic semantics; sunflakes & the myth of snow—

YOUR BODY IS NOT YOUR BODY is what inducted me into the Tenebrous Cult. Since then I've read twelve TP books, loved them all, but YBINYB is still one of my favorites.

MY HEART BELONGS IN AN EMPTY BIG MAC CONTAINER BURIED BENEATH THE OCEAN FLOOR, by @xoxohomeless.bsky.social

MHBIAEBMCBBTOF is: a simple & superficially silly metaphor for depression; one of the more accurate depictions of depression i’ve read; recursive in a way that feels surprisingly gratifying—

REST STOP, by @natcassidy.bsky.social

On an overnight road trip to visit his grandmother who’s had a stroke, Daniel stops at a rest stop to get snacks, gas, and to piss. Problem is, after he goes to the bathroom, he discovers that he’s been locked inside. That is by far the least of his problems.

three y/o review of RIPS & TEARS. would love for it to reach more readers. heavily inspired by CONTROL; the main antagonist is an extradimensional being named THE DEBT TETHER (and good old-fashioned human error); i think it's a ton of fun and weird as fuck

PUPPET’S BANQUET,
by @goresorcerer.bsky.social
pub. by @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

PB begins with “Hopefully, once this ends, you and I will finally understand why all of this had to happen.” Unfortunately, now that I’ve finished the book, I do understand—though I wish I didn’t (complimentary).
