New anthology sub call will be revealed last week of March! 👀✋👅🚫

You can already buy - and keep! - some of our ebooks away from the big bad 'Zon, and we're working on making them more available elsewhere also.

Reminder on this Annual Love Day, that it's perfectly acceptable to love a book. Just watch out for paper cuts.

Got the ball rolling on a new print version of Slashertorte. Want to make sure it looks OK before we make the switch from the Amazon distributed version.

Speaking from experience, Nicole is a great editor, collaborator and contributor when it comes to anthologies.

Oh hi there, it's me, just dreaming up another anthology concept and resisting the urge to go ahead with it in place of the upcoming one

Free queer books, for everyone, right now Read queer. Write queer. Don't give anyone the opportunity to pretend we don't exist* (*this goes double for cishet allies less likely to get a brick through the window in the current climate)

You may see some of our paperbacks disappear from Amazon over the next couple of weeks - they'll likely re-emerge on there eventually with new ISBNs as we move away from using KDP for physical distribution due to Amazon's shockingly poor labour practices.

Living the dream* *Dreaming of a day when our paperbacks aren't reliant on the 'zon for distribution and going through indie sites like bookshop.org instead** **Actively working on this rn

Mocking up the ebook cover for our next antho, making it look grimy and grotty, loving it. Thinking of doing slightly different covers for the ebook and paperback because why not?

Feeling very this cartoon

The only place you can find us on social media currently is here, our website did have a blog but it wasn't gaining much attention so we're only posting here now (until we inevitably need to move socials elsewhere, as seems to be the way of the world).

Our plans have changed a little - our next anthology is going to be a follow up/companion anthology to BLOODLESS, though it will take quite a different direction. Planning to announce properly & open for subs late Feb/early March. Watch this space.

*vague submitting works for award consideration post*

Big Tech being hostile to the community / removing queer stuff just makes us want to make even queerer stuff.

There are a bunch of eligible poems in SLAY AND SLAY AGAIN! if you wanted to nominate them... 👀

Just updated the About page of our website to include a brief AI policy (in short, don't submit to us if you plan on/are using it). Our LGBTQIA+ writer's grant page also now explains that the grant is not designed to help foot the costs of any AI-related software etc.

This was a challenging prompt, born out of a convo with @joclark.bsky.social back in August. It was awesome to have her on board, and her story...damn. She nailed it. There are 13 other superb stories in this issue, hope you read and enjoy every single animal 💜

out today!! 👀‼️

Cynthia Pelayo was kind enough to write the introduction to my upcoming horror fiction collection FEVER DREAMS OF A PARASITE! I also happen to be in this anthology with her!

Okay, I need 11 more people to add Mazi to their TBR list on Goodreads to pass an arbitrary goal I set for myself this year. (To be on 100 people’s TBR at once). If you’re thinking of reading it, go ahead and give it an add? www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

I had some dope short stories published this year, and the ones listed below don't even cover what's in my collection Lonesome Pyres (another 2024 release). You can read some of these stories through links found here: ericraglin.com/storiesandar...

Looks like we're going to have to bump our next anthology call to early 2025 (I'm thinking Feb/March at the moment), but please be assured of 2 things: 1) it's a fun concept, and 2) we're going to put an anti-AI clause into the sub guidelines, contracts, and the book itself. (more in next post)

If anyone who featured in SLAY AND SLAY AGAIN! wants us to send in a submission for this on their behalf, please drop us an email - or if you want to submit directly, we'd love to know if you get in!

I’ve got a fun little cannibalism story in here! And it’s a really fun collection!

Going to deactivate our tumblr page this weekend, with no small amount of regret - for some reason it's not letting me decline cookies at all, which is some grade A bullshit.

Hi new followers! If we used to follow you on the birdsite but haven't followed you here yet, let us know and we'll press the button. :)
