We asked you to decapitate some eggs and you did not fail us
Last month we announced an unhinged contest on social media: acquire an egg, draw a decapitated head on the egg, and either quote, share & tag us, or reply to the post with a pic of your egg-capitation. Our five favorite entries would win a signed copy of Jess Hagemann’s Mother-Eating, which is a modern…

Let us ALL eat cake! MOTHER-EATING is out today! Hooray!
I first met Jess Hagemann back in 2018 or 2019. We both had novels come out through the same (now defunct) small press. Her novel, Headcheese, absolutely blew me away.

NIGHT FRIGHTS Returns with Long-Awaited Third Issue
Ghouls! Please, your attention. Longtime fans will recollect we once had an annual magazine for children called Night Frights, edited by Lori Michelle Booth. We published two volumes and then kinda…fell quiet with it, for many years. Way too many years tbh. Longtime fans of the press will also recall we sometimes, uh, suck with…
