Putting this together was heartening. I'd honestly forgotten that some of these were 2025.
In a tough year, I really needed to reflect on my #writing wins.
What's not pictured? All the other amazing stories I wrote! (Stay tuned for 2026+?)
If you want to nominate anything, I won't stop you. 😘🖤

It's already getting to be that time of year. I've got a handful of stories eligible for awards this year. I appreciate any consideration.

Also, enjoy my best dog, Laser-Clover.

Is it an awards eligibility post? Is it a retrospective? I dunno, but here it is. I published some words this year. Check it out. (If there is anything you'd like to read and can't find, let me know and I'll get it to ya!) 🫀

I did the cover, formatting, everything for this book—and I'm so proud of it. If you're into Ligotti, Evenson, Jackson, and Barron, give it a shot.

Cover reveal! This artist has graced the inner pages of the magazine since the beginning, but the moment we saw this comically unnerving art by @authoriseult.bsky.social we knew it was the perfect way to mark one full year of the mag. Sleep with one eye open and get ready to laugh! #dielaughing
