driving to work earlier, I spotted one of those tiny cars that kids flintstone-pedal around their yard abandoned on the side of the highway, like it broke down or ran out of gas. can't stop thinking about it.

An early Christmas present to myself (*I* decided I've been good enough), thanks to the good folks at @ghoulish.bsky.social for launching this across the Atlantic. I was a huge fan of Jess Hagemann's HEADCHEESE, so didn't want to miss out on a signed copy of her newest novel MOTHER-EATING

Just wanna warn people that this project requires a pretty hefty fee, not for entry but to count as 'available'. Blacklist requires making projects 'available' for evaluations, which is a standard practice in script submissions but not for manuscripts.

Thank you @ghoulish.bsky.social for the literature! I’m super excited to get into Mother-Eating and also the Occulto issue! I’ve missed physical copies of World Weekly News, and this will certainly satiate that hunger.
