Another book review up over yonder!

FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven feels precisely like one of those sprawling semi-lucid nightmares that you almost have the reins on at any given time.

Review: “FantasticLand” by Mike Bockoven
My reading apps tell me I read more horror than any other genre, which probably shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise given the amount of bloodshed and jump-scares in some of my longest standin…

We have some wonderful Canadian contributing authors for the Carpe Noctem anthology--all eligible to be nominated in the Best Short Story category! We'd be honoured if you considered them when filling out your ballots.

First up: Grampire by David J. Fortier! 1/?
1/7
Book promo post. An black background with gold art nouveau style corners and gold spotlights cutting through the middle. Text says: Grampire by David Fortier. Category Best Short Story. An excerpt from the story is included. "“Seize the night, young man,” the pale stranger had said, right before his teeth plunged into Edward’s neck. It had been half a lifetime since anyone had called Edward young man. Perhaps it had been Ed’s defiant stare that had moved the vampire, or maybe it had a twisted sense of humour to grant Edward, an eighty-year-old man, the chance at an extended life." Text along the bottom reads: Aurora Awards. www.csffa.ca Voting closes April 5, 2025.

Tyler Battaglia's 'Love Like the Moon' is the specific tale that made me make a quite literal 'OOOH!' noise of delight over a couple of well-placed lines at the end that melted my jaded-ass heart. A bit of body horror, a poignant romance, girls who *transform* ... What's not to love?!

Youtuber: Here's how Stephen King wrote so much in his early career. Habit. Discipline of writing every day. Following his passion. That's the secret sauce to productivity.

Stephen King: It was cocaine. Also alcohol, but mainly cocaine. There's an entire book I don't even remember writing.
