Under a Malevolent Eye features at least three stories that are weird enough to alienate people, and I think that's kinda cool! If you like weird, dark, paranoid horror, this anthology is for you: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/unde...

I rounded up 13 bone-chilling Indigenous horror reads that’ll crawl under your skin and into your dreams. Stephen Graham Jones is back with Off the Reservation, Never Whistle at Night returns for blood, and writers from Alaska to Aotearoa are bringing the scares. redpopnews.com/13-bone-chil...
Killer new Andrew Kozma story in ergot. If you like creepy cameras, inexplicable jobs, and stories that don't answer all of their questions, you'll dig this one: www.ergot.press/authors/Andr...

a big inspiration for that story was a poem i read about 5-6 years ago called, iirc, "The Love Song of Woodrow Derenberger." i was unable to remember the author or find it, but if anyone has a link or knows where to find it, they should let me know!
It's National Cryptid Day--the perfect day to read a story about a sexy and strange Mothman encounter. Briar Ripley Page has you covered (and maybe so does Mothman 🥵). Read "The Holy Incubus of West Virginia" and many more stories in Lupus in Fabula: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/lupu...

I have a story in this! Like everything I write, it is a cozy feel good jaunt that celebrates our present age 😊
Folks, in light of resurgent cozy horror discourse, I can promise you that our 2027 release, Cursed Morsels: A Food Systems Horror Anthology, is by far the bleakest thing we've published. I mean, it's doing other things too, but goddamn, is it bleak!

One thing I love about Briar Ripley Page's story in Under a Malevolent Eye is how it captures the experience of feeling (or perhaps actually being) the only person in your workplace who sees technological "progress" as horrific dystopia. Read it here: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/unde...

Mae Murray's story in this anthology also kicks a ton of ass. Vivid prose that makes you feel like you're right there with the narrator while the strange, gnarly working-class Arkansas horrors unfold. Highly recommended!
I'm reading an early copy of Side Hustle: Horror Stories for Late Capitalism from @agitapublishing.bsky.social, and God, "TOM" by Michelle Sturges-Brown is such a brutal, sad, incredible story. Up there with "The Mub" by Thomas Ha for essential AI hater stories.

I couldn’t resist requesting an eARC of a horror and Weird fiction collection titled LONESOME AND FESTERING by Eric Raglin (I love the cover art Lou-Ellen Allwood too)! “No Such Thing as a Lonely Sardine” is wickedly brilliant. Full review on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
The Sunken, the Adored by Donyae Coles is up next! One chapter in and it's already nasty and strange and compelling. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

If you like uncomfortably dark humor, you'll love Mae Murray's superb story in Under a Malevolent Eye. A man kills his wife and, on the day he intends to dispose of her body, his son comes home with a government-mandated camera strapped to his chest. www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/unde...

Out of all the stories in this anthology, Zin E. Rocklyn's story is the one that feels like a real news headline. A period-tracking app threatening a woman who just got an illegal abortion? I'd believe it! Read this horrifying story and more here: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/unde...
