New Year’s First Publication Scheduled for 2026

So the scheduling actually came in the waning hours of 2025, 3:17 p.m December 31 to be exact. The story, “La Fatale,” originally run in TRIGGER WARNINGS (Cephelopod Press, 2023), the “post-bite” account of Mina Harker who, we all should know, actually did become a vampire no matter how much Bram Stoker tried to hide it. And so in short, from Alien Buddha Press on a submission just two days before
