Two women and a man, all in their early twenties, sat in a remote spot on the sands of Pearl Beach Resort. The resort was located on Fire Isle, a small body of land in the Caribbean sea, approximately 45 miles west of St. Lucia.
Twenty-one-year-old Candida Peters, known to her friends as Candi, was the baby of the trio. She was a sweet-faced young Caucasian woman with shoulder-length, cinnamon-colored hair and warm hazel eyes. Just five feet two inches tall, Candi lamented the seeming imbalance between her modest bust, curvy hips, and thick thighs. No matter how much she dieted and exercised, her lower half never became svelte enough for her liking.

“An altar in the Hall of Nyarlathotep—but of course! Who
would not be quite curious to follow a portal in a blasted Hall of Nyarlathotep
Worship?”
“I think that this portal may lead back to your world via
the Dreamlands, Ketil,” the creature revealed. “From my understanding of the
sigils surrounding the gate, this passage terminates in Xura. I have never been
to Xura, but I have heard rumors of a most interesting house which is said to
be a focal point in this realm.”
“Oh, but of course. The House of Great Fuckery,” the man expounded. “And who in their right mind would not wish to go through the House of Great Fuckery?”

If you're already a subscriber, you don't need to do anything else. Hopefully, everything will proceed without a hitch. I am switching from Tiny Letter to Mailer Lite.
There is just one thing I want to know.
How does Grammarly think that "TinyLetter" looks a damn thing like "Donald?" There are only two letters in common.
Obscured by a poisonous haze on a world which had died when
Earth was new, a tall, diaphanous male humanoid with long flaxen hair stood beside
an alien being which towered over him despite his own impressive height. The
creature had a conical body with a three-eyed head on a stalk. The spirit
expressed concern for his companion’s well-being in the planet’s toxic
atmosphere.
“Yitzy, I suggest that we leave this unwholesome world,” the
youthful man insisted. “Although you are evidently a fearless and adaptable
sort of creature whose zeal for the sciences is either commendable or insane,
surely even an enormous and rubbery snail-footed monstrosity such as yourself
will wind up dead if you breathe the chemical soup of this damned hellhole for
long enough. I cannot put too fine a point on it. I demand that we make our
exit forthwith.”
“Very good, Ketil, I concur with your assessment, although I
could easily remain in this place and suffer no ill effects,” the creature
replied telepathically. “You see, I have no lungs as the living among your kind
do; my form adapts to whatever gases are present in the atmosphere. However, I
am curious to follow a portal that I have discovered under the altar in the
Hall of Nyarlathotep.”

However...
Hold onto your hats...
And your seats...
And your socks...
Because I've got an offer that no lover of weird fiction with that special snarky bite of horseradish delivered by a sharp-tongued Swedish spectre could possibly refuse.

If you're already a subscriber, you don't need to do anything else. Your ARC will arrive in a tidy Tiny Letter on July 15th. You can spread the word if you'd like to help a deranged scribe gain a few readers should you wish to earn some extra Angel Author Karma Points. Keep in mind that I'm not responsible for dispensing Karma Points. If yours are not delivered in a timely fashion, you will have to take it up with St. Peter.
I had a story I’m especially proud of published in the 2022 Deathlehem anthology. I love this one, and if you’re a big weirdo who thinks...
