OH which of hers are you reading?? Every time I go back to Rebecca I’m always like Why Is This the Only Gothic Novel Ever
Ahhh, thanks so much for recc'ing the story, Amanda! 😊
Thanks to Cressida for the shoutout! And while you’re here, check out her excellent story “The Memory Swap” www.flashfictiononline.com/article/the-...

(Diana Wynne Jones, Angela Carter, Daphne du Maurier, Robin McKinley, & Shirley Jackson also deserve mentions!)
in my opinion *anything* can become a gothic idea if it haunts you hard enough!!!
Okay kids, gather round, it's time for another posting-into-the-void thread about my #writing industry observations.
Let's talk about networking, and community-building, and starfucking.
Obligatory disclaimer that these are my perceptions, others can disagree, and that's welcome! 1/?? 🧵
Huge congrats, I am SO sat for this!!!
Incredible story! So many Pooh remixes disappoint me as someone to whom those stories were load-bearing childhood entertainment, but this one is going to stick with me for awhile.
New story out today in @clarkesworldmagazine.com ! "Person, Place, Thing": go, read, enjoy! clarkesworldmagazine.com/lingen_03_26/
IT’S HERE ‼️ And yes I cried when I hit send on the issue for subscribers. I hope you love this issue as much as we do.
Today is the last day to submit your Nebula ballot! Don't forget to vote in the things you loved in 2025!
i will never stop yelling about how gorgeously and perfectly evelyn’s cover captured the mood of my story!! her work is incredible and deserves all the love and support 🫶
From left to right: Abi Stevens's FF#24 cover (a psychedelic and colourful space whale dwarfing an observatory, amidst planets and a rocketship), Nickolej Villiger's FF#25 cover (featuring comic-book style art of 9 different scenes from the issue's stories), and Evelyne Park's FF#26 cover (a painting of a woman's face surrounded by shards of glass and fragments of a noh mask, all containing different eyes).
For awards season, I'd like to take a moment to hype FF's 2025 cover artists. FF's cover art is commissioned, based on stories from each issue, and @abistevensart.bsky.social @almosthomefree.bsky.social and @evelynepark.bsky.social did an incredible job of bringing these stories to life!

PM deal announcement against a background of line art tentacles. Announcement reads: "Amanda Helms's THE UPPER TENTACLE, pitched as a horror comedy mash-up of EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE with H.P. Lovecraft, in which the admin for a corporate retreat and a body splitting alien team up to solve the murder of the company's president at a closed ski resort before their alien overlords inflict dire consequences for humanity's collective insubordination, to Mika Kasuga at Union Square & Co, by Paul Lucas at Regal Hoffmann & Associates (world)."
It is I, joining the ranks of those for whom design is their passion
Very happy this weirdo novella found a home with Union Square and Mika Kasuga! Thanks to @canonizer.bsky.social for connecting us!

I saw so many favorable reviews of it as a beginner’s choice, and I see why! It writes beautifully and was so affordable, I love it!

i have officially entered my fountain pen era
best queer horror that the author refused to endorse as queer…but seriously shirley there is no heterosexual explanation for some of this 👀
Between The Ministry of Time and The Last Place on Earth (1985), I do believe that this is the year I finally become a polar exploration girlie (gn). Was not on my bucket list but hey, I’m always up for a new historical fandom to partake in
I haven't, but MoT makes me want to! I need to see what the hype about this Graham Gore is about
