All the stories in Weird Horror #11 are great, but I've been thinking about “We Didn’t Used to Be Like This” by @jackklausner.bsky.social for days. Deeply unsettling look into one person's descent into madness that had me questioning what was true by the end. A phenomenal story.

I was lucky enough to read an early copy of this lush collection of poems that mixes ancient creatures + sprawling landscapes with everyday modern life, queer love, and generational trauma.
I never thought I’d be so moved by a poem about a toad looking up its own evolution history on wikipedia.
