By Tamika Thompson: I noticed the door in the attic on the second night in the home, and it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.

The Seal-Bride

Posted on October 7, 2022December 4, 2022 admin

By Georgia Cook: They tricked her.  Long ago, when the nights were colder and darker, when the wind howled across waves taller than houses, and the surface world contained little more than firelight and stone cottages, they stole away her skin and cursed her to eternity as a fisherman’s bride. … Continue readingThe Seal-Bride

Mycophagy

Posted on August 5, 2022December 6, 2022 admin

By Avi Burton: The house is a devotion to dead things. Bulge-eyed taxidermy watches from the white-floored foyer. Crumbling starfish are pinned to the wall as pale decoration. Busts of the long-dead line the mantelpiece. … Continue readingMycophagy
