Delighted to have received my contributor copy of Night Terrors from the mighty @acidbathpublishing.bsky.social. Great to see what I consider some of my best work included alongside a mix of awesome prose and poetry from old friends and new. Thanks James and Paul for having me on board. Bottoms up!

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Submissions are way down compared to last issue but also our inaugural issue, likely due to us shifting our social media presence to different platforms, so it would mean the absolute world if you'd send something in!
