GHOST STORIES FROM CYBERIA - Jacob Zucker

ON PERMANENCE - Hannah Smart (@fowlinghantod)

"'You can’t misplace this tattoo,' Roman tells me while I sit in his chair, anticipating. 'You can’t lose it in a divorce,' which gives me a sense of the average tattoo artist’s typical clientele."

ICYMI: My latest sci-fi story about scuba diving, extinct North American megafauna, and being trapped in the desert with a much older man came out one week ago. The whole Halloween run was really great, some of the best fiction I've read all year. Check this stuff out!!

I brought my whole self to the digital town square only for it to be sold for parts. Random limbs queuing up for pushcart nominations. Organs sitting in a soggy heap waiting for a book deal

WHOLE SELF - Jon Doughboy (@doughboywrites)

"She convened with her other parts that night. Sacrifices must be made to protect this life they’d created and come to love and need."

GOD IS A KILLER, by @ThraxMaximilian.

[Anna Krivolapova @AnaKrivolapova]

Gratitude post: People keep reaching out to say they bought my book and it's so exciting that Incurable Graphomania continues to sell three years later. All my life I wrote in secret, so shy about my "time-wasting hobby," until Apocalypse Confidential ran my first short story ever published, The Taco Bell in the Center of the Pentagon. I'm so grateful they gave my manuscript a chance when nobody knew who I was. I woke up at 4 every day and wrote these stories on stolen time; at work, on the bus, in hospitals and chemotherapy waiting rooms, and put my whole heart into this book. I will never forget the kindness shown to me by @blauer_geist , @20gaShotgun, and @TomWill72550626, who worked so hard to make my dream come true

"....Understanding feels like a drug. My travelogue: green in blue waves. Drove from north to south Ohio. We use Bibles like rifles: an idle mind invites only what it can fathom...."

This guy is a real poet.

New prose poem in Apocalypse Confidential:

[APOCALYPSE CONFIDENTIAL @APCON_MAG]

"OD" - JL Moultrie (@JLMoultrie)

"Pride’s desolation and freedom breeds chaos. Knowledge is grief. I haven’t dreamt in weeks. There’s blood in the bathroom sink."

Still working my way through these but u should read them all

[JACOB EVERETT @blauer_geist]

Thank you to everyone who read, shared, and most importantly, contributed to TWELVE NIGHTS OF HALLOWEEN. We've never done anything like this before--not quite a special presentation, not quite general publication--and it was a huge success. Expect more like it in the future!

[Maximiliano Guzmán @Madmaxguz]

Happy Halloween!

[APOCALYPSE CONFIDENTIAL @APCON_MAG]

Happy Halloween to all, and to all, a good...FRIGHT!!

At the link is our entire sordid slate of putrid programming for our TWELVE NIGHTS OF HALLOWEEN. Best read by candlelight or in a cemetery.
