I cannot express how much I love Tenebrous Press 😂
Tenebrous Press@tenebrouspress.bsky.social · 4h agoWhen you sign up for the Tenebrous NWHRA (New Weird Horror Readers Association) newsletter, you may ask yourself: Will I get defensively screeched at with pro-AI defensiveness & product shilling?🤔😱 You will not! That’s the Tenebrous Don’t-Be-A-Fuckin-Tool Guarantee™️ sendfox.com/tenebrouspress
haven’t preordered 🪷☁️AN EMPIRE IN THE CLOUDS☁️🪷 yet? 👀 the finished copy includes a map by @dewiwrites.bsky.social 🗺️📍🤍 preorder goodies will be sent during the last week of the month, so do fill out the form in my bio if you haven’t yet! 🤍 @titanbooks.bsky.social 💫
Even if you're not able to attend, just remember sharing is caring. We couldn't put on events like these without people like you. (Insert that jingle from the NBC "The More You Know!" PSAs.) Thank you! www.facebook.com/share/182k99...

Wild, and disheartening to say the least. The lawsuits against A.I. companies stealing from creatives haven't even stopped yet. On top of that, authors are gatekeepers for calling out shitty publishers that do things like sexually harass and steal money from their authors? Way to victim blame.

The rest of the playlist didn't disappoint either. Results may vary if you're not riding a mower lol.
B. K. Brahma@bkbrahma.bsky.social · yesterdaySo I started using TIDAL to stream music after Spotify chose I.C.E in America over the human race, and today as I hopped on my mower to move some wood and cut my grass, I got this song on my discover playlist (now saved as "Mowin the Lawn").

I had a wild idea the other day... All Star by Smash Mouth covered by Sleep Token Throwing this out into the universe to see what happens lol.
Every year Black Shuck Books picks one American author for their SOMETHING PECULIAR anthology, edited by Steve Shaw, featuring the weirdest of weird fiction, and this year they picked me. I got to explore my fear of free little libraries in my story… wait for it… FREE LITTLE LIBRARY: bit.ly/4w6yTFn
My Twitter account has been hacked and now I no longer have control. This is embarrassing for a lot of reasons, primarily that I still have a twitter account… but if you are there and you receive a DM from me asking you to click on a link, please don’t do it. It’s not me. I fell for it. Apologies.
May I offer you a scifi short today? 👀✨h
@imaginationasu.bsky.social · 5d agoThis week's #freefictionfriday is "Prompts for a Perfect Daughter" from @issuesinst.bsky.social by @aijiang.bsky.social. A young protagonist is forced to follow strict prompts embedded deep in her brain via an implant installed by her parents in the hopes of guiding their child to live a good life.
O’Neal helped purge me & all the other Black full-time staff columnists at the Post Opinion Section. I challenged his move to fire me in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. And he testified against me in June. We are expecting an arbitration ruling soon. Convenient time for him to quit.

And tomorrow... we're open to submissions! (Always read the label)

Just finished @claymcleod.bsky.social 's "Soft Flotsam Tender Jetsam". Regardless of length, Clay always pulls me in and steals some tears, and the artwork by Chris Panatier is a perfect pairing with this story. I'm so glad I was able to get a copy of this from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social
Some truly truly glorious news. Rapture Publishing is now an imprint of Shortwave. Two great houses led by two genuinely passionate people. And to kick off with Gemma? Dream come true. I can’t wait to read everything. Congratulations Mitch and Alan. Match made in heaven. Read here: bit.ly/4bRjGAT

Like before now, I roughly new the beginning (and made the rest up as I was writing), I definitely knew the ending, and even parts of the sequel, but the middle of this novel was just "This is where the romance comes in, and tensions build up to these scenes, and then the rollercoaster ending"
