Thanks to the folks who ordered from us Sunday and Monday! We didn't get a ton of orders, but we did raise another $65 for rent relief. This campaign is getting closer to its goal, so consider giving a few bucks!

See what Tiffany Morris said about Gore Poetics, a horror and Weird fiction collection that's equal parts human, strange, and visceral.

Preorder here: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/gore...
Preorders Open: https://www.cursedmorselspress.com “This powerful debut collection explores what it is to be human, to have a body, and to be in connection with each other in all the visceral strangeness and alienation that those connections entail. These stories dazzle in abject brilliance, where boundaries blur, distort, and fracture into vivid tableaux of horror.” —Tiffany Morris, author of Green Fuse Burning and Carnalis

Among all the bleakness, strangeness, and terror of The Writhing, Verdant End, there is STELLAR nature writing--the kind that makes you want to go outside and just stare in awe at our beautiful world. Grab this weird ecohorror anthology here: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/the-...

See what Joe Koch said about our upcoming release, GORE POETICS, sure to be one of the strangest, most visceral literary horror fiction collections of 2026.

Preorder here: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/gore...
Preorders Open "Samir Sirk Morató's Gore Poetics burrows into the corpse of traditional horror fiction to emerge glistening with a new genre we might call 'lyrical splatter.' It’s literary gristle laced with compassion, a feast of emotionally-charged body horror rooted and grown in the rotting true-crime landscape of the Midwestern US. Samir’s stories refuse to find easy salvation, instead grinding their way into the light with equal scientific precision and earthiness. Gore Poetics is a powerful debut by a writer to watch and admire." -Joe Koch, author of The Wingspan of Severed Hands and Invaginies https://www.cursedmorselspress.com

My (Eric Raglin's) entry in The Writhing, Verdant End is at least partly about the inability of don't-rock-the-boat liberalism to ever change (or save) the world. If that resonates with you right now (and probably it does), check out this anthology:

Tiffany Morris's stories in The Writhing, Verdant End drip with lush, rotting, sickly sweet atmosphere as lovers survive a plant apocalypse, grievers gather for ritual in a ruined world, a woman explores her family's strange connection to horses, and more.

Have you checked out our recent release yet? @emmaemurray.bsky.social recommends it "to anyone who enjoys eco-horror and grotesque but beautiful prose." Check it out!
Image depicts QR code and the cover of The Writhing, Verdant End, which shows a skeleton clutching binoculars while ghoulish animals writhe in the foreground. Top text says, "Grab your copy of our newest Weird ecohorror nightmare at https://www.cursedmorselspress.com" Bottom text is a five-star review of The Writhing, Verdant End by Emma E. Murray: "Such a wonderful first read of the year! Farrenkopf's weird, emotional journey through a Barkeresque nightmare future is brilliant and I'll certainly be revisiting. The short stories that follow by Morris are equally mesmerizing, with absolutely stunning descriptions and the ability to bond you to characters so quickly before breaking your heart. Raglin's contribution provides some much needed bits of levity while also keeping you on edge and turning pages to find out what will happen. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys eco-horror and grotesque but beautiful prose."

The Writhing, Verdant End is finally out! Two years back, I reached out to @tiffmorris.bsky.social and @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social about doing a split weird ecohorror collection, and now, on release day, I couldn't be happier with the book we created. It's dark, strange, angry, and transcendent!
Succumbing to a plague of plants and transforming into something new... traversing a canyon full of mutant hybrid creatures to reach the paradise beyond... enjoying the strangest, most gruesome birding trip of all time... all this and more in The Writhing, Verdant End, out December 9th!
