So thrilled and honoured to see "Welcome to Spruceway" on this list.

Reactor Magazine @reactorsff.bsky.social · 28d

@bookjockeyalex.bsky.social is recommending a body horror summer camp, a Carmilla retelling, and a cursed postman (and many more). Which of August's must-read SFF short stories will you pick up first?

Daily bunny no.3108 will grow into a beautiful butterfly

A very small bunny munches on a leaf, like a bug or caterpillar. The leaf is the same size as the bunny, and the bunny is beneath a flower in someone's yard or garden. It is a warm autumn day

Daily bunny no.3106 doesn't like the dark

A bunny descends into a dark basement with a flashlight, hoping to fix a fusebox or breaker box. It is a rainy evening, and presumably the power has gone out. A bat hanging from a pipe greets the bunny.

Daily bunny no.3105 needs to ask nicely

Two bunnies stand at the foot of an old brick wall, in a forest somewhere. There is a small door in the wall, the only way through. At the top of the wall are four blackbirds, one of which has the key in its beak. The bunnies implore the bird for the key

Are you looking for a spooky read this season? Check out the webcomic I created with my wife @larkspurns.bsky.social! It’s a queer paranormal romance, wherein witch sisters have to tangle with werewolves, vampires, and forest magic!

Happy full moon! Chapter 3: Part 4 of The Witch Wolf is now live at thewitchwolf.org!

The Sullivan Coven is surprised by the arrival of someone they trust… and the consequences are dire…

The Witch Wolf - a webcomic about the complications of love and magic by Dani Carr & Bree Williams 🌿

A comic page of a teenage girl, Esme, saying ‘Something’s wrong.’ A werewolf leaps out from a blood red background right at her.
