Might I suggest you read more women this spooky season?🕷👻📚

Thinking of old stories from THE DEEPS tonight. In particular, the one about that wretched man named Scrivel is keeping me up. (Matthew Mcconkey) 💀🖤 The EXCELLENT stories in these issues still come back to me over a year later. READ THEM 🎃 spindlehousepress.com/the-deeps/about

Hope everyone’s week is wrapping up well! It’s been kind of a wild one. If you need something to take your mind off things this weekend, consider writing flash fiction horror for our #DarkTarotTales themed around the Two of Wands. We’d love to read your dark take on this card. 🃏

Yesterday I (Ben) had the opportunity of visiting the fine student editors at Watershed Review and chatted with them about horror, the literary world, and editing. Had a great time with them, and they asked great questions! They’re open for subs now: literary fiction/CNF/poetry/art

I'm in disbelief because 200 people have added my murder horse book on Goodreads?? And what if I told you a cover reveal is coming so soon??

When our doors close (about 9 days) theirs open! Eyes peeled folks. 👀

Happy weekend all! Do spooky shit and manifest your shadows.

We’re in here, last day today for this month’s #DarkTarotTales! And check out the open subs for other presses as well. 🖤

Just got caught up on #DarkTarotTales subs! There were some pretty tight contenders this round. Looking forward to announcing soon. 🖤💀🃏

Tried and failed today to find an author I wanted to contact about a potential reprint. I read L Reed Walton’s “The Madness of the White Lands” in the first issue of a now defunct mag … If you’re out there, L, your story still torments this particular reader. Nicely done. 🖤

Hi all! We've announced some upcoming changes for 2025. The full announcement is on our Substack newsletter, but here's a summary. Hope you're all enjoying your Spooky Season! 🖤

We are pleased to announce this month’s winning #DarkTarotTales story: “# NoFilter” by Ria Hill — a story that feels straight out of Black Mirror. What would you do if technology changed your reality? How far would you go to embrace the change? spindlehousepress.com/tarot-tales/no…
