@matthewtpritt.bsky.social has a novelette in this collection that put my jaw on the floor.
He writes subtle, elegant stories filled with pathos and a deep undercurrent of dread.
You want visit his cursed place.

Awesome review from the story that inspired our cover for Volume 2! What a great project for the year from @staniforthmick.bsky.social too!
One submission per form per time! So you could submit 1 story, 5 pieces of interior art, and 5 potential cover artworks. Once you get a response for each type of sub you can submit something else in that category.
I hope this helps!
Pssst: we’re open to submissions of horror fiction, interior art, and full color cover art AND WE’RE PAYING MORE NOW.
Guidelines here: fraidycatpress.com/submission-g...

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!
It’s true! Check out FCQ #8 for gnawing tales of weird and cosmic horror, plus cover art that will send a chill up your spine 🥶😱
Congrats to you!
I've done a terrible job of promoting Fraidy Cat Quarterly recently, because of how objectively awful this year was in our personal lives. We're going to announce changes to how we do things next year and I think y'all will be excited about them! But we need time to catch up, so that's baked in.
