My Correspondence with the Goatman by Jon Clendaniel published in SLUGGER Vol. 1 “Dear Goat Man, I’m glad I’m finally here. That bus ride sucked. When they said this place was in the middle of nowhere, they meant it.” Art by Mike David

TIL this is who apparently runs the Grievance Committee of the HWA. Patrick's still running unopposed. He's posted a weak statement on his substack saying he's grown as a person since creeping on Theo and "let the voters decide." There's no one else to vote for. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_T...

Hi. Everything I want to say it at the following link, which contains why I think Patrick Barb should not be HWA President. I'm going to step away from socials for a few hours now, and will see you all later. 🫀 CW: sexual misconduct. theodorehill.weebly.com/statement.html

Happy Hour at Harry’s Hole in the Wall by Joshua Dobson published in SLUGGER Vol. 1 “The men hunched over the bar are workers from the nearby factory. They’re missing more pieces than a garage sale jigsaw puzzle.” Art by Mike David

Hot Tub Hormone Xenotransfusion by L. Sanguine published in SLUGGER Vol. 1. Link in bio. “Fucking seagulls,” says Mum, by way of greeting. She does an impression, a good one, of the gulls nesting in our neighbours’ chimneys, so loud and sudden it makes me jump: “EEEEE-ee-ee-ee!” Art by Kae Ranck

SLUGGER is interested in publishing a non-fiction book that includes essays from punk educators. This project is inspired by the vinyl record Critical Pedagogy: A Compilation of Teachers in Punk Bands. We’re casting a wide net, reach out via DMs or email if you are interested in learning more.

Seeking educators, including librarians who have something to say about how punk (broadly defined) influences your approach to education. A black and white image of a vinyl cover and includes photos of punk shows.

What is Sound Trails? Each SLUGGER volume includes three non-fiction pieces related to music in some way, usually somewhat connected to punk and/or horror. Check out Vol. 1 Sound Trails for examples (See Volumes on our website). Submission link in comments.

Miss our fictoin sub window? Good news. We are open for Sound Trails subs year round! A black and white image of a two-headed Simon and Garfunkel creature playing a guitar.

If your publisher uses AI art, they're bad at their job. Full stop. When a publisher claims they can't afford to invest in your cover art, what they're really saying is that they can't sell your book. /THREAD O'CLOCK
