Titanium, Ruin and Strife (author: me)
Horror/sort of a character study perhaps, ~2k words.
Writing this was cathartic. I got messed up in a hit and run a few years ago, this story draws on that experience.

I wrote a little not-quite-a-review about a small press horror novel I've read recently, hope it's okay to drop a link in here.
I usually read weird horror, lit fic, sci-fi, and gothic, so this is a change of pace for me as it's a straight up horror. I'd recommend it for people who want a haunting and love stories about relationships, your Mike Flanagan fans and the like.
In the interest of honesty, I should say that I know Chris and that I am thus not unbiased. I really did enjoy the book though.
A horror/weird fiction short story I wrote last week. Playing around with a sort of creepypasta-meets-John-Langan narration style (at least that was what I was going for).
Hi all. I'm looking to explore contemporary lit fic but I really don't know where to start.
Currently I mainly read horror (usually slower literary horror and weird or Gothic stuff more than gore/extreme/slashers), New Weird, a fair few literary classics, and some SSF and mystery now and then. Some of my favourite books are Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Laird Barron's The Imago Sequence, and Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.
So stuff with a dark edge and some speculative elements is welcome, but I'm staying open minded and I'll try basically anything as long as it's interesting.
Also, if anyone can recommend some magazines or other sorts of regular publications, I'd like to hear about those too. Both for short fiction and recommendations/reviews.
Cheers, A.
This is sort of a mosaic novel written by two weird horror authors (that I know personally, hope it's okay to promote my friend's work here) with different styles and outlooks.
It's a fun take on a haunted house, with a mix of Gothic elements and weird fiction vibes.
It's published by Tenebrous Press, currently my favourite small press. They focus on 'New Weird Horror,' valuing new approaches and experimentation within the genre.
