Reading tit-out in the tub. Stacked TOC via @davidscotthay.bsky.social & @whiskeytit.com. Intro by @sadiehartmann.bsky.social. Stories by @ericlarocca.com @claymcleod.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @charleneelsby.bsky.social @rabusby.bsky.social and more!

Buy it and read my weird fiction story about occupying forces, popsicles, distrust, the flexibility of concepts like “citizen,” eye jelly, helicopters, and the Edmund Fitzgerald. I think it’s quite good and fairly unpleasant; I hope you will too.

Deeply nuts, Ballardian, and a masterpiece of cheerful brutality. Loved every second of it.

THE ORGANIZATION IS HERE TO SUPPORT YOU An existential dystopian bureaucratic horror satire. (Weirdpunk, 2025) “If Kafka had set out to write A Brave New World, the result would be a story like this. Clever and terrifying.” -Brian Allen Carr, author of Opioid, Indiana

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

We had a very happy Monster Smut reading night at Evermore Books in Ottawa! Thanks so much to the Ottawa horror writers who came to read some unhinged erotica in front of a full audience. @charleneelsby.bsky.social @mmcsw13.bsky.social @shelleylavigne.bsky.social & more! Horror x Romance forever🖤👻

OUT TODAY Poor Damned Souls Love, suspicion, necrosis... The ticking of The Money Store's 15-minute safe, the hum of fluorescents over gray carpet, the afterimage of a browser window, the weight of someone else's breath in your throat. Does it count if you cheat with a dead girl?

Happy Publication Day to the amazing @charleneelsby.bsky.social 🖤

Just finished reading the best Corporate Horror I’ve laid eyes on: THE ORGANIZATION IS HERE TO SUPPORT YOU by @charleneelsby.bsky.social. Pick up a copy from @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social

We love you

Vlad Mag #7: “Gut Punch,” edited by @charleneelsby.bsky.social, is OUT NOW, featuring work by Saint Nick 🍓

Finished this last night after it popped up on a "best of" list for 2025 and this is very good and tight story with an ending for which I was unprepared. I don't know if i'd call it horror or maybe just Career Weird (Careird? I'll work shop that) but it's worth your time and money.

The Organization Is Here to Support You by @charleneelsby.bsky.social is an incredible bureaucratic horror novel that reads like the love child of Kafka and the Tri-agency Guide on Financial Administration. I absolutely loved this pitch-perfect, hilarious book.
