The Night Mothman Crashed On Black Mountain And Other Lies I Told Myself by Rachel Savage That particular night, I’d escaped from the trailer out my window, The Night Mothman Crashed On Black Mountain And Other Lies I Told Myself by Rachel Savage

Super stoked to have my weird little story published in @dogthroat.com. They've got some rad stories on there. Y'all should go check them out. Especially The Rapture Machine by Joshua Walker. Talk about gorgeous.

Finished Station Eleven (the book) last night and it wrecked me. Never have read anything quite like it before. It scratched the same itch that Lost (the show) left me.

So stoked that my weird, sad little story won first and is going to be published by Dog Throat. <3 Can't wait for August 25th! #dogthroat #flashfiction #weirdappalachia

My brilliant, talented friend @mizukiyamagen.bsky.social wrote this gorgeous, poignant, too-timely piece for Flash Flood.
Enjoy.

Thank you, my lovelies!! 💚💚

Sitting up with the Dead - Uncharted The night before Grandaddy Burl died, Colly dreamed of a flathead catfish swallowing him whole.  Summer storms had been rolling in since June; the mountain air sitting heavy like flannel on fevered sk...

Beyond stoked to have my dark little Appalachian folk horror about trauma and family ties published in @unchartedmag.bsky.social today!!

Melvin is a US Marine Corps Veteran who was stationed at Camp Pendleton. He’s also sounding the alarm about Hegseth’s threat to deploy Marines in LA.

I just want y’all to know I had way too much fun playing around with the HAD formatter.

Excited for Tuesday; I’m going to be waiting, laptop open, ready to go at 9:59.
