A figure wanders through some frozen, rocky pass, whilst the moon looks uncaringly down upon our doomed traveller.

i saw a hill, darkly dreaming

#digitalart
#procreate
#weirdhorror

A figure stands at a stile in a hedge with barbed wire. In the distance, a low dark solitary hill. Above it, a black cloud of some sort lingers, filled with spirals and strange shapes and maybe even the hint of eyes.

skeletal fingers
slip on keys, just morbid noise
weak to grow a tune

lurker in the earth

#digitalart

#weirdhorror

Three figures - one standing, one looking down at their feet, another kneeling with a hand pressed to the earth, as if sensing…something wrong.

Below them, beneath the soil, lurking in the dark, something awful is awakening.

Calling out the boss here:

As good as she is at supporting our writers, she is FOR SHIT at self-promoting, so allow me a moment of your time:

Tenebrous EIC @alexwoodroe.com has a new book out tomorrow, THE NIGHT SHIP! It fucking rocks. If you dig what Tenebrous does, you’ll dig it.

Hey #BookSky. You should buy some shit from @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social to help @sammytotep.bsky.social feel better. #horror #weirdhorror

Weirdpunk Books @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social · Mar 9

Weirdpunk was slated to vend at Ghoulish Fest this coming week, unfortunately due to being sick as hell I've had to cancel.
I'm fucking mad and sad. Also still very sick, so that's the cherry on top.

All proceeds from this (plus any tips / donations / sales) are going toward printing a new chapbook. I'm trying to keep my work self-sustaining / sterling neutral, where possible.
