Our next flash fiction is "The Teeth Beneath Our Tongues" by Fendy S. Toludo. The dangers of back alleys just can't be expressed enough...

Just wanted to share a couple of updates. First, the Kickstarter funded! Thank you all so much! Next, we've signed our first author from the open call this summer. Details about that to come soon. We've got four more full requests we're working through to fill 1-2 more spots.

Timber Ghost Press @timberghostpress.bsky.social · 10d

Thanks. I'm doing alright now.

Timber Ghost Press @timberghostpress.bsky.social · 10d

We'll be here next week! If you're local or in the area, come on down and say hi! There will be tons of local authors!

Timber Ghost Press @timberghostpress.bsky.social · 14d

Thanks. It was quite harrowing and one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life.

Timber Ghost Press @timberghostpress.bsky.social · 14d

I didn't really talk about it on any of my Timber Ghost accounts. The TL;DR version is that I was hiking in the backwoods alone when I fell into a creek and slammed my shin into a rock so hard I thought it was fractured. Had to hike out wet, freezing, exhausted, and injured in the dark.

Unfortunately, that something is sometimes my interactions with y'all. I'm working on it, and will continue to give what I can, when I can, to my authors and the horror community. Stay spooky. 2/2 🧵

I know I've been pretty sporadic and quiet lately. Between everything going on in this country and across the world, almost dying a couple of weeks ago, and the fact that I'm a one-woman operation for the most part, sometimes something has to give. 1/2 🧵

Our next flash fiction is "Reflections at Dusk" by Pakiso Mthembu. Mirrors can show us what we want to see. Sometimes, they show us what we don't want to see...

We'll be up in the mountains until Wednesday searching for actual timber ghosts. If you reach out, we may not get back to you until Thursday. Stay spooky!

Timber Ghost Press @timberghostpress.bsky.social · Sep 9

Don't forget about our Kickstarter! Our Kickstarters are a great way to get our titles at convention pricing and it's the only time we open more VIP membership slots which get you every current and future TGP title for a steal.

For whatever reason, this one didn't push to all of social media. So here it is now.

Our next poem is "Manifest" by Shavauna Munster. Sometimes, rooms where nothing happened can tell a story. You're not going to want to miss this one.

"Manifest" by Shavauna Munster

There once was a room where nothing happened. The floor was covered in plush rugs blanketing the oiled hardwood and the walls held books in a sequence meant to mimic order. Where sounds were absorbed....

Our next poem is "The Lament of Hollow Skies" by Emmanuel Komen. The poem is dark, cosmic, and haunting. Remember, all things dissolve in hollow skies...
