Also, totally agree with this reader on these three stories. They HURT.

Thanks to everyone for supporting yesterday's release of The Nightmare Box and Other Stories. It wasn't until the day came that I realized just how many amazing books were releasing the very same day. What a joy to be among them, and thanks for shouting us out!

In which it's not just my publication day, but pub day for @xavilawrites.bsky.social, Felix Bill, and Richard Lau, whose three stories appear in the Solidarity Forever zine that Eric Raglin and I co-edited and that you get when you order direct from the publisher. Happy pub day to you too!

An Indian burial ground story flipped on its head. An ICE agent haunted and losing his mind. A parent who will do anything--and I mean anything--to keep her kids safe from a violent, racist world. Horror has always been political, and The Nightmare Box and Other Stories embraces that truth fully.

Next up on my reading list is Carson McCullers' The Heart is a Lonely Hunter--something outside what I'd usually read. What's something you're reading now that's different from what you usually read?

I have already been blessed with an ARC, but y'all should get on this. The title story is killer and the collection as a whole is very compelling.

I regret to inform you that there are ghosts everywhere. There is no escaping them. And if you read Why Didn't You Just Leave, the hauntings will not cease even after you close the book.

Thank you so much to Cina Pelayo for blurbing The Nightmare Box. The space she takes up for Latine horror, and the sweep of her range -- from poetry to wonderfully dark horror stories to wonderfully dark novels -- is so impressive. Mil gracias, tocaya.

Fascism seeks to destroy its critics, but we won't be shutting up about how much we hate it. It's an undead ideology that deserves a permanent death. Cut off the head, stake the heart, and burn the body.

Every, and I do mean EVERY anthology I've read from Cursed Morsels (and I think I may have read them all) was been a winner. Strongly recommend following this campaign and CM in general.

Christi Nogle's strange, dread-inducing story about the horrors of adjunct teaching and the tech-ification of education just got reprinted in Apex Magazine! What a joy to see this story live multiple lives!

Someone bought a copy of Shredded: A Sports and Fitness Body Horror Anthology from the Cursed Morsels store today, and I'm just glad that there are still spooky jocks out there in the doomed year of 2024. Sports are horrifying, and these stories prove it!

Just one story into Michael Tichy's Wound of the West, and man, Mike has the juice. This shit is visceral, strange, existential, and REAL.

Last night, I had a dream that that The Nightmare Box and Other Stories was adapted into an anthology film, and I think that'd be sick as hell. The title story alone would be worth the price of admission. Someone want to turn this dream into a psychic vision?
