We're extremely excited about the theme of our new issue, so we wanna know:

What have you been CRAVING lately? 🤤😈
Hunger. Desire. Sudden, insatiable need for nourishment, a vice, or flesh itself.

Salon Sinister is preparing to open for submissions once again. This time, we want you to explore your queer horror CRAVINGS.

We open for poetry, short fiction, and art on Valentine's Day.

We hunger. Indulge us.

Forget to buy a gift for a gay menace in your life? Have they been counting the knives in the kitchen while humming "ring around the Rosie" ever since?

You should get them a copy of Salon Sinister. It might be the only thing that saves you at this point.

I'm really proud of this story about weird girl longing

Lots of great stuff in the first issue of @salonsinister.com, including this one from me!

We were so proud to print, "That Little Seam by Your Left Ear" by @xtinemakepeace.bsky.social! Her piece is dark, thoughtful, and rich.

If you haven't read Salon Sinister yet, consider this a small taste of what you're missing... Grab your own copy to read this and more amazing queer horror.

I love Victorian greeting cards. Absolutely doing the most with the weirdest shit. Shrimp playing poker? Why not. It’s Christmas.

LibroFM has a bunch of books discounted, BUT ALSO linking your account to an indie bookstore (either local or a long-distance relationshop) sends some of the sale their way instead of Bezzy Boy 🖤

also, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT is part of the sale. Ends Dec 2nd 🫀

Before I head to work, a quick reminder that tomorrow is Shop Small/Small Business Saturday! Your local bookstore, record shop, art supplier, and toy shop would deeply love to see you. Plus “gotta go support my local small businesses” is a great excuse to take a break from your family.
