Need something to read for the weekend? Support your local incurably weird author with these (more-or-less) direct-purchase items at Ko-Fi.
Each of these is is more than 100,000 words (shorter attention spans to the left, walking wounded from academia to the right) guaranteed to leave you with a literary hangover by the time you get back to work on Monday.
Proceeds go to rent, groceries, medicine and upcoming jaunts to deal with trying to renew a passport via the embassy in the capital, which is sure to be a Kafka-esque nightmare, so make sure you share this with all of your friends!
@Well_Worth_A_Read@bookstodon@horrorbooks the book I'm talking about is an author on here so I'm not going to share the name, and it's interesting, but just some parts are like... what?? I think the problem is the last few science fiction books I read are SO GOOD that I have high expectations! I switched to a cozy mystery last night because my expectations are a lot lower for that genre. So far it's a fun read!
Hi there! Bone Parade is open for submissions through October 15th! We only need one more story for the next issue. Please send us your weird and wonderful genre-bending stories! We're also kind of in the mood for a cozy existential crisis, if that exists?

What do I do when I'm depressed? I write my #weirdfiction about aliens and disaffected seminarians, and I post a picture of the fountain down my breezeway upon which I based a #horror story recently submitted. A woman becomes convinced the fountain is her father ordering her to do something terrible. I describe the fountain in such lurid detail and yesterday, I noticed how unimpressive it is. But the imagination rules. 😂 I did try to add a filter that helps it look sinister. lols. #writing
#JosephPayneBrennan (December 20, 1918 – January 28, 1990) was an American writer of fantasy and horror fiction, and also a poet. Of Irish ancestry, he was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut and he lived most of his life in New Haven, Connecticut, and worked as an Acquisitions Assistant at the Sterling Memorial Library of Yale University for over 40 years.
Brennan published several hundred short stories (estimates range between four and five hundred), two novellas and reputedly thousands of poems.
His stories appeared in over 200 anthologies and have been translated into German, French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish.
He was an early bibliographer of the work of #HPLovecraft.
Arthur Machen’s story ‘N’, which is largely a rambling, meandering chat between three aul’ fellas reminiscing about the London of days gone by, made me acutely nostalgic myself for my London days. #weirdfiction#arthurmachen
