Just a reminder, this is still happening! If you like bloody cosmic horror that feels like a meeting ground between Conan and the Evil Dead, with a hefty dose of philosophical pessimism, this is the book for you.

This was my first book by @charleneelsby.bsky.social and I found it to be an absolute delight. Recommended for fans of absurdist Ligottian corporate horror. Very witty, clever, and engaging. Get it from @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social

Great writing week. 16,489 words written! Novel is now at 54k words.
This is for a future episode! Share an insecurity and we'll talk about it on the podcast. Mine is that my collection hasn't reached a very wide audience—leaving me out of the greater short fiction conversation for awards and such.
