🌿🌊 What if the planet fought back?
My latest blog post explores how to craft AI-generated eco-horror scenes—twisted forests, dying reefs, fungal sprawl, and rotting decay. Use prompt ideas to visualize nature’s revenge with eerie realism. Perfect for creators, writers, and liminal horror lovers.

@GreyElm has a new book out today. I was an early reader of this. If you like creepy, weird novellas about outsiders, check this one out. It's good eco-horror.

Histórias de eco-horror são aquelas em que a natureza se vinga, em que se torna monstruosa. A humanidade é, ao mesmo tempo, vilã e vítima: décadas e décadas de abuso do planeta cobram seu preço, e as consequências são aterradoras. Assim, o subgênero muitas vezes se vincula às narrativas distópicas ou apocalípticas, nas quais tudo já se perdeu e só nos resta sobreviver.

While I was reviewing this book, I had a thought. This oppressive system works because sometimes we have no choice of where we work or shop or the cars we drive.
Keep your chin up, and check out this review of Motheater by Linda H. Codega.

Frogs (1972) — When nature takes revenge, nowhere is safe! Sam Elliott faces off against a swamp uprising of frogs, snakes & gators. Eco-horror at its wildest! 🌿
ICYMI, Dragonfly.eco posted a wonderful interview with R.A. Busby about her horror novella YOU WILL SPEAK FOR THE DEAD. It's striking how right from the start (pictured in the graphic) Mary Woodbury refers to this novella as "beautiful" and focuses on the positive and even tender aspects of a novella that is actually body horror. I love the complexity of this book.

Boy oh boy, has the world gone crazy lately. Imagine, though, that your entire world is nothing more than a few square miles, with a crumbling manor and a dying bog. What would you do to keep the land alive?

Happy Book Birthday to R.A. Busby, who wrote this utterly unique beautiful and gross thing that we are very proud to publish. Pick up your copy just in time for spooky season!
Because of our new distribution situation, the print version of this book isn't available in Canada for a couple more months, unless you order directly from us. It is available digitally, though, and in print outside of Canada. Complicated, yeah.
A new eco-horror novella from body horror master R.A. Busby is out soon! We are infinitely grateful Joe Koch has these words to say about it: "With its surprisingly happy ending, I'm a little worried that the book is a hoarder's fantasy and that I've been unwittingly converted. Excuse me while I grab the disinfectant."
Busby’s grotesque & beautiful novella is coming soon! Order for: that delicious dirty feeling, surprising tenderness, ballsack tentacles. #ecohorror #horror #books #bookstodon

ICYMI yesterday, Solarpunk Presents posted their Stelliform Press episode! Apparently I can't talk about solarpunk without talking about eco-horror? So if you're curious about how I make those connections, head over to YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4TOt5vs6fM

This week on Solarpunk Presents Podcast, Ariel chats with Selena Middleton, Publisher and Editor of Stelliform Press, all about publishing eco-fiction. What is eco-horror, and how does it relate to solarpunk fiction? What are the hallmarks of a good solarpunk story, according to Selena? How does history fit into visions of the future, and what does character have to do with it? Join us as we discuss all this and more.

Scheduled our early release of episode 6.2 as a "drop" on Patreon - I think I'm getting the hang of this. Also there's a new feature to pay for posts???
Of course I wanted to try it out because I love widgets 'n' things. I don't know that anyone will seriously take us up on it, but hey, stranger things have happened! So it's $5 to grab the newest episode a week early, I guess!
