I’ve entered some kind of major writing dormancy period 🥲 But this weekend we went foraging & found 7lbs+ (!) of chanterelles and shrimp and lobster mushrooms. Auspicious 🍁

Really happy to have my first reprint sale with Fusion Fragment!! It also feels appropriate that it’s the first story I ever sold, I’m glad it’s gonna have another home in the world ♪( ´////`
Happy to announce that we'll be reprinting "Obsolesce" by @suchnadine.bsky.social, which originally appeared in @strangehorizons.bsky.social!

Meg was one of the first to read this story, so it's only appropriate that she share this news

My most recent ice cream, made out of a lightly cocoa-y tea I’m obsessed with rn (tongmu jin jun mei). It was good but it was my first black tea aisu & I don’t think I got the milk hot enough to properly steep it this time 💧

Needed this story this morning which made me think more abt how in a world corrupted down to the guts by greed, it’s community that’s the safety net 😭✨
New from Reckoning 8, “It’s in the Blood” by Susan Kaye Quinn is a story about fighting the bad with everything you’ve got. We’ve bought work in the past that’s come out months later and felt newly relevant, but this is one we needed yesterday and we’ll need tomorrow: reckoning.press/its-in-the-b...

Today is truly special: it's the release of Cynthia Gómez's The Nightmare Box and Other Stories! I've worked with Cynthia ever since Antifa Splatterpunk (the very first Cursed Morsels release), so today feels like a full circle moment.

Grab a copy and celebrate with us!

also check out "Obsolesce" by @suchnadine.bsky.social because it is really, really good. it's been over a year since I read it whereabouts and I still think about it from time to time: strangehorizons.com/fiction/obso...
Obsolesce
The city was so large now there was no longer night and day, only glowing blue hours as endless as the low hum emanating from the chalky skyline. It beamed cyan light through her darkest curtains, …

I think part of our work as horror writers in 2024 is to help people unlock the parts of themselves that can face terror and adversity without losing their humanity & goodness.
We are entering an era of fear and horror like our species has never faced. We need heart.

Health Update: the heart tests showed I have an issue. To nail down the diagnosis I have to do several blood tests & a sleep study. If I can get $4000 by the end of the month to go to $45,000 total, that covers these tests. I hate to keep asking, but please donate & boost if you can. Every $1 helps.
Health Update & Appeal.

So these past couple of weeks have been crazy, but we finally got to see a pulmonologist. He was very thorough. I was in there for probably 3 hours and did lung function tests, the whole works.

In the end, he's not satisfied...

Newest experiment: vanilla wasabi ice cream 🌱 Confession: I kept tasting & immediately adding more & more wasabi powder, distraught there was no wasabi taste AT ALL 😭 I used up almost my whole 40g bag so I went to order more and there. On the product page. “Mix powder with water—and wait 10 minutes”

I read The World Ended There by Alberto Chimal (transl. by Julia Rios) from Why Didn’t You Just Leave, heartbreaking & haunting 😭

“The truth is that no, you can’t keep living like this, but you can’t do anything else either. The anguish of not knowing cannot be endured and cannot be left behind.”
