Will take one last opportunity to plug our Patreon as well, where you can subscribe to the mag for a few quid a month at
patreon.com
creating an anticapitalist dark fiction magazine.
We'll not be posting on Twitter anymore. Musk's fascist salute is the last straw. Will make a few final updates to make sure folks can find us elsewhere, then we're done. Bluesky: https://t.co/Kii34RshWn Newsletter: https://t.co/2f2MClEUDM Discord:

"A touch uneven as a collection, but the abject portrayal of patriarchy and sexual violence often succeeds in interesting, mature ways rather than for sophomoric transgression." Zachary Gillan reviews A Study in Ugliness & Outras Histórias by H. Pueyo. https://t.co/sEFXrMFOdm

The title of H. Pueyo’s A Study in Ugliness & Outras Histórias cues the reader in immediately to its unique approach to translation by combining English and her native Brazilian Portuguese, “& Outras...

Pearlescent Tickwad by Samir Sirk Morato "She doesn’t realize that she’s made of ticks until she gets her nipples pierced. This is a long time to live without revelation, but Yun-suk also lived without respect, agency, or pleasure until recently, so it isn’t that outlandish."

I butter the popcorn. I clean the butter machine. The bag runs out, and so I stick my head into its metal belly to screw in a new one. It’s a wet mess of plastic tubes and blood vessels inside there....

"The censors tried to hide Argento’s sick vision as much as possible, but evil has always existed and it won't be the censorship of creative imagination that defeats it." Viviana de Cecco on Dario Argento and censorship. https://t.co/Vk9ydJINOS

Censorship brings luck. Incredible, but true. Dario Argento. His name alone conjures up terror, gore, bloodshed and chilling soundtracks. On 6 June 2023, the British Film Institute, in collaboration...

An alien contact thriller tinged with cosmic horror and packed with conflicted technophilia, where questions about ethics and politics take place in a sprawling narrative full of huge ideas. Jake Casella Brookins reviews Exordia by Seth Dickinson. https://t.co/QYmRBSWa2K

In the acknowledgments to Seth Dickinson’s new science fiction novel, Exordia, he says that it was “supposed to be a fun book,” and a look at the epigraphs does an unusually good job at conveying...

Ironically I'd have to pay Elon Musk to be able to write a longer tweet that includes everything this post needs, but I needed to include this snippet from Zach Gillan's cracking review of Thomas Kendall's psychedelic postcyberpunk noir How I Killed The Universal Man.
How I Killed The Universal Man is a novel "that embodies the cultural superstructure of the post-irony, post-sincerity, digitized, coopted, climate-catastrophre’d, alienated, and incomprehensible late capitalist dystopia we find ourselves living in." https://t.co/KTqRCPYyh5

We've got a back catalogue of sick stories available to read for free. Like "Low Tide Jenny" by @bitterkarella from way back in Issue #3, about relationships crumbling while the world falls apart. And falling in love with a beached corpse. https://t.co/oswOufSlO7

Low Tide Jenny sat in her folding deck chair on the beach, stationed right where the sand met the ice plants, staring out at the black ocean with her eyeless sockets hidden behind oversized sunglas...

Kyle Marquis described this one as 'weird alt-history, unsettling in that sophisticated way good scifi describes wonders and horrors at the edge of comprehension.' Yeeesss. "A History of the Avodion Through Five Artists" by Eric Horwitz, now free to read. https://t.co/WCf2aHCxA1

“The avodion has existed in some form or another for millennia: both the Chinese and the Arabs can point to possible predecessors. To this day the French still insist that the device and its practice...
