Submissions guidelines at: www.psliterary.com/submissions/

Gnarly is good! 👀

And like that, February just became my luckiest of months ever. ✨️

The more I write, the more I'm convinced that all writers end up as plantsers eventually. Flexibility is useful, what can I say? *shrugs*

I (also) love this! 😂🥳

love it, love it, love it!

There's so much to uncover!

Researching the historical difference between "chemist", "druggist" and "apothecary" for a future gothic romance project sure has sent me down an unexpected rabbit hole. Wow.

Beatrice sits in the woods holding the book, I'll Make a Spectacle of You. Against a red background with trees, "Set in Jonesborough, Tennessee, I'll Make a Spectacle of You is a queer, nonlinear Southern Gothic horror".

I'LL MAKE A SPECTACLE OF YOU is a published novel!

My Gothic horror novel is a tribute to Black Appalachia, HBCUs, and Hoodoo, featuring a lesbian main character whose name and life mission are profoundly inspired by icon Zora Neale Hurston.

Best Novella goes to The last to Drown by Lorraine Wilson, Luna Press.

Atmosphere aaaall the way!

I was just blindsided by an entire pitch for my next project that dropped into my lap like it was nobody's business----and damn, this is the kind of creative high you live for, isn't it?

👀👀

Literally working on the pitch as we speak 😂

Peacefully languishing on sub a second time while going on sub a third time while starting to write the next thing... and this is really just the way of it, innit? Buckle up and onwards we go! Arctic nautical spec-cy horror, it is! ⚓️👏

The Fir Tree has a lot of that same feel, honestly!

I'll have to go read that one! I remember the title, but can't recall the story and now I'm intrigued 👀

Nearly every single Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale is a low-key horror story, but I don't see enough people talking about "The Fir Tree"/"Grantræet". That story has haunted me since childhood, istg, more formative for me than any of his other stories. I still think about it randomly as an adult.

I'm 10000% sure I will 👀👀

So seated for this. Two times over. Three times over. Ten times over.

AAAH the best news!!!!!! Whut!!! 🎉✨️

I got tickets for the Frankenstein premiere this month. Nothing can touch me now.

Nothing.

😈😈😈

I just finished @danaiwrites.bsky.social's VILE LADY VILLAINS (out next year) and *chomps down on pillow and makes unintelligible noises*.

Thanks. That was all for today. Remember to drink water and prioritize your sleep and don't walk through doors with bloodied handles and broken keys.

Or do...

In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

oooh congrats, this sounds great!

Super excited and still very humbled to have my uncanny valley (reprint) short story out in Dark Frequencies and be among amazing names like these! ✨
