Great reading awaits you in Fraidy Cat Quarterly!
BULL was the first place to publish my serious writing, Laurel was one of the first to be welcoming and awesome for the horror community. What a wonderful matchup!

Thanks dude!
It seems like editors missed the memo yesterday, but I was looking forward to 1+ acceptances for my birthday.
Luckily for y’all, belated wishes and gifts are always appreciated too!

This, and I'm not sorry about it.
Not only is all this true, using them indicates to me that you are also a lazy, uncreative human being who can't be bothered with/won't admit these truths enough to stop, so you're also a cheating, selfish little turd
Send me your creepy and unsettling stories and art!
I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
amber glenn even putting her skates on the ice when people from her own country hate her and wish death and harm on her is strength most of us could never dream of. respect her or shut the entire fuck up. #MilanoCortina2026
Recent Jeopardy contestant shared that she sings “Defying Gravity” and other show tunes while riding roller coasters to overcome her fear, thereby ensuring that NOBODY has a good time on the roller coaster.
Supervillain behavior.
Nothing like a thank-you-for-your-kind-messages post from a disgraced piece of shit with the comments turned off to make you say OH YEAH BABY COMEBACK TOUR IS GOING GREAT
Neil Gaiman's writing meant a lot to me as a young man. His stories helped me through very rough times.
I tossed out every book of his I owned when the news broke. Without hesitation. Don't allow this self-rehabilitation tour to take.
Block him. Make him one of the most-blocked accounts here.
ICYMI, Gai*man is slinking out of the shadows and posting again, trying to scuttle his way back into the public's good graces.
Please take care of yourselves, believe women, believe survivors, and fuck that guy.
Really looking forward to reading great words and admiring great artwork when we open!
These are awesome!
I love every volume we publish, but this is seriously one of my favorites, stuffed chock-full with stories of all-consuming and righteous anger.
Don't miss out!

We're incredibly proud to have published this absolute banger of a story in FCQ Volume 7! Congrats to @corriehaldane.bsky.social on the very well-deserved recognition and thank you to @tenebrouspress.bsky.social for highlighting excellent work in the weird horror indie community!
The story in my head: pic of a beautiful sleek horse. My first draft: pic of a short plump shaggy pony.
every time
That's the worst! I spend way too much time in my spreadsheet and on submission grinder figuring out where I haven't sent pieces yet.
It's going to be a better year! There is no other option. Thank you!
Finished edits on and submitted my first new story of 2026 today. Fingers crossed on this one!
A friend pointed out to me that content warnings in horror books can actually help heighten tension, ala Hitchcock's "bomb under the table" theory of suspense. I have to say, that is not something I ever considered!
Escalate any disagreement by saying “here we go” whenever someone starts talking
I almost missed sharing this: my latest short story “Flashlight Tag” is available today in Chthonic Matter Quarterly #12! Get your copy direct or from Amazon (but preferably direct!)
Very proud to appear in another project from CM Muller!
