I know issue 12 isn't even out yet—soon—but revel in the glory of the cover and contributors of issue 13 (Summer). Art by James Hutton. Design by Vince Haig. I'll be doing a big pre-order push soon on our 2026 titles to try and secure some much-needed operating funds.

Cover for issue 13 of Weird Horror. Art by James Hutton depicts a red figure with tree limbs sprouting from mouth and chest and yellow moon in background.

I'm currently writing the next installment of our somewhat haphazard newsletter and it might be of particular interest to submitting writers who were promised Part 2 of what qualities suffuse a potential STP story. You can read Part 1 from last year here.

Today is Kathe Koja’s birthday!!! This is also a reminder that Kathe is one of the greatest living authors of horror/dark fiction and she had the most explosive, remarkable debut since Barker’s Books of Blood. They don’t crash land on the horror scene like they used to. Love you, Kathe! ❤️

I've been threatening for a while to start a column on collections of weird fiction, and so: Profane Illuminations, a quarterly series where I'll look at a few in tandem and see what threads I can draw out about their stories and the genre at large. Quick intro here, first full entry next week.

We're open for fiction submissions! We publish unsettling bad time stories that straddle the horror, fantasy, and science fiction spectrum. But genre is made up so if you have a dark weird horrible story that could be a fit, send it in and let us worry about it. No closing date, open indefinitely.

Time for a stock take. It's been an odd year for me. Mental health stuff, which I'm thankful to have come out the other side of. Only recently have I been able to not just absorb, but enjoy, writing, film, art. These last couple of months, I've gradually started to feel like myself again (1/5)

Another winner. Great nonfic from Strantzas on juxtaposition and from Peak, disguised as fiction, on ontology. Killer stories by Say, Kuryla, Humphrey and excellent bookends from Demchuk and Klausner (both on identity juxtaposed with ontology, actually)
