Slowsand

Once again, experimental horror venue ergot. hosts one of my short & ambiguous nightmares: Slowsand.

It’s my third time in ergot. The intersection of horror themes with experimental writing is uniquely welcomed there, and I’m always interested in reading what they release. Feels pretty cool to have another one up on their site.

Remember, not every story needs to be easy, or make sense.

Read Slowsand in ergot.

In reprint news, The Bleeding Tree is now available on Drabblecast in audio. Also, A Scream Lights Up The Sky has been reprinted in the downloadable anthology Meat4Meat on itch with amazing illustrations for each story.

Here’s editor wolfpaper’s thesis for the project:

meat4meat is an illustrated short story anthology dedicated to exploring body horror by those who know it best. It is a study in the relationship between discrepancy in self and body, in the horror of losing control, and the joy of taking it back. It’s a celebration of the strange and wonderful. But most of all, meat4meat is a fever dream of an anthology that drags the reader face-first through the guts and gore of world-class body horror. 

meat4meat features twenty-one stories by transgender and disabled authors, ranging from debut writers such as Lorelei Thee to masters of the craft such as Joe Koch, Claudine Griggs, and more! Each story is accompanied by an original illustration by a similarly marginalized artist, offering their own perspective on the anthology’s themes.

Gorgeous, isn’t it?
