The Deadlands

The World Fantasy Awards are about to start! Whether E. Catherine Tobler receives a tree statue or not, I would love to know that Elise's needs are being met. If you could honor her with some support in her recovery from cancer, chemo, and complications, that would be a great and beautiful thing. 💖

we love see all the support for our Elise thank you thank you for all the shares, the donations, and the kind words about her--it means a whole world. if you can donate/share/send good vibes, we'd love to receive them still xo

YES

It only takes a minute, and it doesn’t have to be much if we all pitch in. Consider donating to this worthy cause:

hello, I am doing some research and would like to tap into the collective brains of BSKY: 1. can you share some genre or literary fiction magazines that have closed and the archive is NO LONGER ONLINE 2. the same but the archives remain online FOR NOW i would also appreciate RTs for awareness 💀

you love to see it

really amazed and overwhelmed and thankful for everyone that has donated or shared we can't wait to get back to publishing THE DEADLANDS under Elise's amazing leadership but EVEN MORE THAN THAT we can't wait for Elise to be home & healed & ice cream doesn't start with "H" but you get it 🖤 🫵
