I'm Sally and some of my short stories are horror! I'm particularly proud of "An Exciting Career Opportunity" in @dielaughingmag.bsky.social, which answers the important question--how would *you* sell sex toys to vampires?

On a green background, centered, a painting of the author (a person with long, red hair and a nest of snakes on her head a la Medusa) looking over her shoulder toward the viewer. Top text: Joelle Killian's story "I'm Entering My Apocalyptic Era" is free to read on the Die Laughing Website. In the lower left corner, the Die Laughing logo peeks in (an illustration of a dead clown in a coffin, with red hair and white gloved hands crossed over his chest. He has silver coins over his eyes). In a speech bubble, the clown says "Sometimes you just want to burn the world down." To the left, a large splash emoji alongside the text: Cummie Award Winner

We interrupt our usual posting schedule for the end of the world. I mean, a returning author's birthday. Her story in Issue 6 won't be up for a bit, so we wanted to remind you of Joelle Killian 's genius today with her Cummie Award Winning story from Issue 4!

In the center of a green frame, a drawing of the author, sporting pink hair and a wild headful of green snakes. Top text: Die Laughing Magazine, Issue 6 Joelle Killian "Rawdogging Wellness" Bottom text, a quote from the story: Yo fam, what's up?

In the center of a black frame, a photo of a tuxedo cat (probably not the author, but stranger things have happened) which sits very close to the camera and is a bit out of focus (but still very cute) Top text: Die Laughing Magazine, Issue 6 Zofia Warwick "Billy Baby" Bottom text, a quote from the story: "Billy." Billy turned. No one had followed him down the street. No one from school knew his home address, and he was the lone kid deposited on the curb by the big yellow school bus.

Our next story is flash fiction from @zofiawarwick.bsky.social and let's just say....we think it's calling your name. Are you listening? Are you? ARE YOU?

Read "Billy Baby" in Die Laughing Issue 6, coming out February 14th!

In the center of a black frame, a photo of the author standing in a blue-lit bowling alley wearing a black dress. She is smiling, her right arm held up as though she is about to shout, "ta dah!" Top text: Die Laughing Magazine, Issue 6 Lili Lang "Love and Blood" Bottom text, a quote from the story: I round the corner and see light spilling out of the bathroom, the door slightly ajar. I can hear the shower running. How fitting. I swing the door open and - WHAT THE FUCK.

Who doesn't love a surprise? Our next story is just chop- I mean...CHOCK-full of unexpected twists. Who knows? Our hero might find true love! As long as he didn't show up unarmed...

A magazine cover that is mostly obscured by a black bar. Visible above the bar is DIE LAUGHING MAGAZINE, with Issue No. 6 February 2026 written above. Below the black bar we can read Cover Art by Teresa Galusaurus and Interior art by Iseult Murphy. What is visible of the cover appears to be decorated by faded hearts in colors and patterns similar to clowns. Hmmmm. Clowns?

Cover teaser!

We're pleased to have Teresa Galusaurus back with us, and this design is so vibrant and strange and hilarious and we cannot wait to share the whole thing with you! (Well, technically we can. That's why we're giving you a teaser.)

Issue 6 is coming 2/14/26! Get ready...

Hilarifying misadventures?? We’re totally in!

We've all been there! Out trying to do our jobs when all of a sudden a total babe wants to find another way to pay for the pizza. What could possibly go wrong?
