Thursday Throwback
He scared me. Violent rages of a hurting teenager. A corded telephone ripped from the wall. Drywall punched through.
One day, out of the blue, he asked, “You want to watch a movie with me?” I nearly levitated off the ground from the upswell of hope. The feeling evaporated and the soles of my feet stayed flat on solid ground. He had done this before.
The Swing

This week’s Thursday Throwback packs a punch with The Swing by @samlogan52.bsky.social
This gritty piece stands out for its unapologetic depiction of lived violence and the bluntness of the narrator. It's short, sharp, impactful.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.
Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀

joe koch isn't just one of the finest writers of weird and transgressive literature working, today, but truly is one of the best to ever do it.

A free book. Because we were moved to make it. A confederacy of weirdos. An homage to Ligotti. An encrimsoning.

I’ll cut to the chase: just like all your favorite authors, I’m offering editing and writing coach services. So yeah, pitch incoming!
But first I wanted to talk a bit about my writing journey and WHY these services can help. (THREAD)

First of two spotlights from the prompted stories issue 🦝
We loved the tension in @samlogan52.bsky.social's piece
- the crawling sensation that this dystopia could happen, soon.

I met Carson at the Soft Targets launch event in Portland, OR. He was happy to chat with the weirdo (me) who drove up to the event by myself. A good dude who is a true gem of the horror community. Happy Birthday Carson!
