Friends, I got to see a proof of the forthcoming Tales of Sley House 2025, edited by Lillian Ehrhart, and I CAN'T WAIT for you all to see it!

If you're a fan of Creepshow, you're gonna love the inspiration - and the interior - of this anthology.

Also, I get to share this TOC with...

During this sapphic September, how about adding a bit of toxic yuri to your diet? Enamoured: A Triptych is a historic, erotic, horror novella about love and makeup and capitalism.
Come for the steamy scenes and… well… you know πŸ˜‰

Why had no one told me about how amazing In Fabric is? When a movie has a credit for mannequin pubic hair you KNOW you're in for a wild ride. Extremely bizarre department stores, hypnotic laundry repair men, a very killer dress, what more could you possibly need?

Writing smut is so much more fun than writing anything else. Well except for gory gooshy gross smut. That’s probably peak.

Gimmie a list of your favorite novellas published in the last decade- bonus points if it's not from a major publisher

(just finished reading The Flesh of the Sea for my local horror book club and LOVED IT. Now I have a taste for more novellas!)

Three-lobed gave a home to one of my favourite stories of all time (www.3lobedmag.com/issue43/3lbe...) and I will always be grateful for them. They’ve also published some truly incredible work, too many to name in a post. Please support them if you can!

Honestly too many to name, so I'll just name the incredible @lormaggot.ca : writer, editor, sharer of good and horrific things. Go pick up a copy of "The Flesh of the Sea" (co-written with @shelleylavigne.bsky.social ) and keep your eyes out for the upcoming "Cosmic Dyke Patrol"

My year long writing dry spell is OVER and wow I’d forgotten how good it feels to really sink into a character filled with idiosyncrasies and strange worlds. I feel ALIVE!

May it continue to bring joy, delight and a bit of revulsion to those who find it on their shores. I’m proud of this book about found family, queer love and resistance, and the sublime beauty of the natural world. I hope it brings comfort to those still trying to find their crew

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY TO THE MAIDEN VOYAGE OF THE FLESH OF THE SEAπŸ₯³πŸ πŸ‘
(A little bit late but what is time keeping?)
Though the waters were rocky and the skies were often covered, it was a grand adventure and I couldn’t have been happier to do it alongside my co-captain @lormaggot.ca
