So i can find new ways to reach out I've just taken a quick look at tiktok - and retreated pretty rapidly. Is it worth me swallowing hard, getting over my aversion to overloud tinny generic backing tracks and diving back in? Because pain and no gain would be a pretty poor combo.

With the contract signed, I'm happy to say that my short story, "The Darkness on Ferrous Street," will be appearing in a future issue of @wyldblood.bsky.social (Possibly even the next one 👀)!

I hope y'all enjoy reading this one as much as I did writing it!

We're in the middle of selecting stories for our next Wyldblood Magazine. hopefully out in July - we're in two minds about our cover size though. For the first 16 issues we went with 7"x10", which we loved, but most everyone else is smaller these days. Is smaller better? Thoughts?

Our latest submissions round overwhelmed us a little - loads of great stories. We've responded to most of the people who sent us fiction but if you haven't heard from us you're probably on our shortlist, and we'll be in touch in a week or so. www.wyldblood.com
