I stand by my comment that this isn't essential horror of Joe R. Lansdale, but essential horror, period. An absolutely flawless collection.

I was very sad I had to bail on this - my apologies to anyone who tuned in hoping to hear me. I fasted for Yom Kippur and it really did a number on my cognitive state. With @csecooney.bsky.social at the helm & so many awesome @tachyonpub.bsky.social authors I know a magnificent time was had by all!

Happy October! I've a new story @lightspeedmagazine.com, available to read 10/9.

"At the Bottom of the Bonfire," is the story of a man & his search for power. What it takes to get that power; what he wants to do with it.

And what it costs? Well, that first line doesn't sound so great, does it?🔥

At the Bottom of the Bonfire by Martin Cahill, 1370 words

"By the time he went to reclaim himself, it was too late."
