My 9-yo and I wrote the cover story for Interzone #303, and we've created this handy synopsis using legos. Pictured: shark wearing a mech suit made of pirate shipwrecks, attacking a surfer on a chainsaw board. Oh, it gets weirder.

Got a possible frost warning for tomorrow night, and that would be the end of dahlia season, so, uh

anyone need any flowers?

just quite a lot of dahlias up in here, like the whole kitchen peninsula is covered

I'm so sorry, man. That's a hard thing. We're thinking about you.

Sasha Brown @sashabrown.bsky.social · 12d

Oh jeez, that makes my day, Angela! Means an especial lot coming from someone whose work I like as much as yours.

If we're doing Favorite Weird Horror stories, there are a lot but I'm awful fond of Milk Teeth by @noirbettie.bsky.social

I regret to say that I did indeed used to think Theo was a nice boy

I realize this reflects poorly on me

in my defense it also reflects poorly on God’s Cruel Joke, which literally publishes stuff like this all the time

truly shameful

Sasha's review of Goodnight Moon

5/5: Margaret Wise Brown's nihilistic classic is a howling renunciation of God, here depicted as a "quiet old lady whispering 'hush'." There is no afterlife here, no reward, no release from the crushi...
