"He thinks of the bell tower that used to crown the castle, the warning clanging it would crash across the fields, how there’s nothing in the monastery now that resembles a bell or its tower, just Father Mochan’s words saying what was once there."

New story today from @nealauch.bsky.social where an audition turns sour. Read 'The Casting Couch'.
"The sound grew louder. She could hear it echoing from behind the walls: tissues being rearranged, bladders filling and draining, fluids intermingling."

A blurb card from Michael Boulerice's INHALATION that reads as follows (long version): WHAT READERS HAVE TO SAY Inhalation crawls into the soft, half-lit spaces of childhood memory, where faith, imagination, and obedience turn monstrous, and asks what we were taught to call holy while it fed upon us. Boulerice's many-limbed modern Pied Piper rips a hole through the mind, leaving you wondering whether the things that haunted you were imagined, invited, or simply waiting to be believed. - Mo Moshaty (Clairviolence: Tales of Tarot and Torment) On shelves June 16th via Dead Sky Publishing
Don't mind me, I'm just figuring out where on my body I'll have this glowing INHALATION blurb from @momoshaty.bsky.social tattooed

Behold! Evangeline Gallagher's cover art for Madeline Blondeau’s PENITENTS, a debut trans tribute to New French Extreme cinema and ’70s grindhouse horror, coming later this summer from Ghoulish Books. Thanks to Rue Morgue for hosting us!

Everyone upset about the octopus penis arm does not understand beauty. Reconsider your life choices. Look at the world with new eyes. There are wonders for those with souls to receive them.
HELL YES! So stoked this is going to be made real.
Ridiculously close to hitting the goal! Definitely worth backing for the current TOC lineup alone!
UNDER A MALEVOLENT EYE, our upcoming surveillance horror and Weird fiction anthology, will feature these fabulously paranoid stories: “I Spy” by Cynthia Gómez “Burden of Guilt” by Briar Ripley Page “Reflections from Day 19 Surveilling Christie Tonkin” by Charlene Elsby “In Sickness and In Hell” by Joe Koch “Rest Not, For You Have Scarcely Toiled” by Eric Raglin “Eyes Don’t Melt” by Meagan Kane And two more stories to be announced!
Updated the TOC based on a freshly signed contract! In this anthology, you'll find watchful dolls, suffocating AI companions, obsessive surveillants, sinister supervisors, and far too many eyes where they shouldn't be. Two more story announcements soon!
Cover art by Jenna Cha. In front of a smoky grey-green sky, an enormous dispassionate head rises from a desolate waste-scape and vomits up hundreds of dessicated corpses; to its left a small man floats in the air, curled in fetal position. Plus positive blurbs from Emma E. Murray and Carson Winter.
June 16, Tenebrous unleashes our darkest Horror yet.
Yes, that sounds like marketing hyperbole. It's also true.

A poster with the title Death, with Sequelae. Bloody cats with knives. Text is all crossed out. There's an eye in a frying pan.

On this #TDOV Trans Day of Visibility:
Hello, I was born #intersex
I was surgically “normalized“ as an infant
Yes, that is as awful as you could imagine
While not all intersex people identify as trans, we each struggle against the same cultural biases seeking to erase us from the public eye 🏳️⚧️⚧️🏳️🌈
We're closing out March with some superb necrotic smut from @ristypula.bsky.social. Sink your teeth into Strawberry Preserves.
