THE COLLECTIVE SCREAM OF PEOPLE OF MARGINALIZED GENDERS AS OUR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ARE THREATENED AND STOLEN FROM US. Meet editor Dianna Gunn @diannalgunn.bsky.social and her anthology Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror! In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Fiction, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them. These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human's right to choose their own future.
Dianna Gunn @diannalgunn.bsky.social is the creator of @WeeknightWriters.bsky.social and writes horror, fantasy, and the odd bit of sci-fi. She's been on the #SpookySpotlight before with her fictional murder commissions.
Choices is available from books2read.com/u/3JYo9Q

Kind of lost track of this, my bad. But I've had 0 signups for the December #SpookySpotlight.
The response form is still open at forms.gle/CwHj8HFQADpd...
I'll close it on Friday, so if you have a #horror book, artwork or other project you'd like to see featured this month, now is your last chance.

Guess this is a great time to recommend @shimaira.com's short story The Mirror Game, which was featured in the #SpookySpotlight last fall.
This short read reminiscent of NoSleep stories still has me wary of mirrors.

Title graphic for the Spooky Spotlight, May 2025 Edition Tagline: Spooky Goodness for Spooky Times. Text: This Spotlight celebrates all things spooky and features books by Nicole M. Wolverton and Niranjan. The art is by Susanne Schmidt, done in Clip Studio Paint, and shows the shadowy figure of a lake monster swimming through dark waters. Underwater plants and air bubbles in the foreground hide parts of it. A pink shimmer on everything suggests it's either dusk or dawn.
It's #SpookySpotlight time! This month we'll shine a light on
