Hey! Contract's signed, so I'm happy to say I'm returning to @bourbonpenn.bsky.social with "House Traveler." An amnesiac with a knife and a bottle of whiskey goes for a walk through a peculiar neighborhood. Some slight nods to the house on the borderland and other things. Ecstatic to be back in BP!!

I was really very happy with the strangely haunted apocalypse that unfolded for me in “Where the Prayers Run Like Weeds Along the Road,” published a couple years back in @bourbonpenn.bsky.social.

Thank you for reading and sharing, @jjlofflin.bsky.social

And thank you @bourbonpenn.bsky.social for taking a chance on this weird little story born of delirious midnight visions that floated out to me from a patterned shawl hanging over my bedroom window during a Seattle summer w/no AC

“Green Lake Police wish to stress that we by no means believe that all ravens are tricksters. Unfortunately, however, this particular raven does not appear to be trustworthy.”

I adore this fabulous, fabulist story from @taracampbell.bsky.social

I'm up this week with the worst conceivable version of the "How many to change a lightbulb" joke, in my dream mag @bourbonpenn.bsky.social. Best covers in the business, these folks.

"...the stream is bubbling through the hole that is the skin’s mouth, opening it and closing it again and again and again so that it looks like it is saying something."

This by Alexia Antoniou, in @bourbonpenn.bsky.social, is wow.
