A few other pieces that I was hoping would publish this year - my Jeffrey Ford essay, in particular - but I guess I'll go ahead and call it and say this is my 2025 summary. Go to doomsdayer.wordpress.com and follow some links to some criticism of weird fiction. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.

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.
