👀June 2026 Fiction👀

"Horseland" is a short story by EC Dorgan about authenticity and the monsters that haunt our hearts and histories.

As a special preview of the issue, you can read it NOW!
havenspec.com/fiction/hors...
An excerpt of the short story "Horseland" by EC Dorgan, in Issue 23 of Haven Spec Magazine (June 2026). The text reads: By every measure, I’m a success. I have the perfect home, the perfect partner. He works for an oil company. We’ve paid down our mortgage and invested in equities. He makes a good salary, but I make more, empowering people and selling my story. I help people find their authentic selves. They say my talks are life-changing. Last year I was on a national news magazine cover, and last month, I made Edmonton’s “Forty Under Forty.” Our guest room became my award room. Now the laundry room’s full, too. The background is the issue's cover art, titled Red and Gold, by Carly A-F. It shows a skeletal figure with fire and branches for hair as they loom over a solitary human figure in the foreground.

#Booksky 💙📚 Captivating and thrilling psychological horror. This is a quick read and I absolutely devoured it while it invaded the darkest recesses of me. Avery and Carlos are wonderfully written. The complexity of their relationship and the trials they face both individually and united will.. (1/3)

Getting physical copies of my writing never, ever gets old. So thankful “Give Me Wings” took flight in MONSTROUS ANGELS, edited by @arwyns.bsky.social. Order your copy and meet Arlo Pearson, that filmmaker who went to Armenia in search of a musical monk but found instead a murderous mystery.

Black Friday who? It’s Nineteen Little Stab Wounds week! But only for three more days.

Order your copy of Nineteen Little Stab Wounds at: dreadstonepress.com/product-cate...

All sales will be donated to Transgender Law Center. 1/7
A skeleton made of disco ball mirrors lounges in bed with a book held open in his hands to reveal the cover. Sparkle Barry is feeling grateful and giving thanks that he doesn’t have any giblets to yank from his disco ball bones because watching those plastic-wrapped organs get pulled out of the turkey was traumatizing! He’s recovering from the gnarly scene with a copy of NINETEEN LITTLE STAB WOUNDS, a chapbook of dark microfiction and flash by Alexis Dubon.

I review @michelletang.bsky.social 's DuMort. Beautiful yet bizarre, gentle yet harsh, this novel is a riveting journey of horror and fascination. It evokes the suspense of similar novels in the genre, but in a refreshing style all its own.
