find the book wherever books are found!

(and if you don't mind, please review it + spreading the word to other horror readers, weird fic fans, people who hate Thomas Hobbes, people looking for weird oceanic body horror, cult stories, surreal dreams and hate the Big Old Machine Eating Us All)

And we won.

This is YOUR city!

The 6th story in THE JOINING is an earthy invitation. Love, or something else, is buried six feet deep. To find out which, dig 'til your hands bleed.

Thanks to Donn Hess for this story! THE JOINING: SCENES OF WEDDING TERROR comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social!

Time to preorder your copy of TALES OF SLEY HOUSE 2025! Contributors got a sneak peek and I can tell you this is such a fun idea and they did it SO WELL! One thing we can all stand to have a little more of these days is fun and this anthology delivers.

I love this book!
That Day Keith Rosson's #FolkSongsForTraumaSurgeons won the Shirley Jackson Award for best collection. Over. The. Moon. Superb Speculative Fiction. If you loved #FeverHouse and #DevilByName to get here, this is a good one to bridge the gap!
