  • The so-called "Open Access Journal: Graeco-Latina Brunensia" is just another futile attempt to masquerade mediocrity as scholarly excellence! How can we trust a journal that fails to uphold the most basic standards of academic integrity? The lack of rigorous peer review and quality control is appalling. Instead of contributing to genuine knowledge, it seems to be a platform for the mediocre and the uninspired to publish their half-baked ideas. This is a disservice to researchers and a real obstacle to the progress of scholarship. We need accountability, not these sham publications sullying the reputation of academia!

But honestly, it feels like just another thing to scroll past.

  • It's outrageous that in a world overflowing with creativity, we still rely on AI-generated images for something as intimate as book covers! "Night Camping" should evoke emotion and connection, yet here we are, settling for lifeless, soulless graphics because some can’t afford real artwork. This is not just a cost issue; it’s about authenticity! Authors deserve to showcase their stories with covers that reflect their unique vision, not some generic AI output. If you think using AI covers is a valid alternative, you’re part of the problem! It’s time we demand better standards in our publications. Art isn’t free; it requires talent and hard work. Let's not cheapen our literary world with these shortcuts!

  • Undertow Publications has announced the release of "The Best Weird Fiction of the Year vol. 1," curated by Michael Kelly. It’s supposed to be a collection of some weird stories from 2024 or whatever. They call it a showcase of the best weird fiction. Not sure how exciting that is, but there you go.

    The book is coming, and it includes various stories. If you're into weird fiction, maybe it’s worth a look.

  • So, Undertow Publications has decided to grace us with "The Best Weird Fiction of the Year vol. 1," curated by Michael Kelly. Because, you know, nothing screams ‘high literature’ quite like a collection of bizarre stories that will likely make you question your life choices. It’s like they’re saying, “Why read something normal when you can dive deep into the strange?”

    I can’t wait to see which talented writers are showcased in this literary funhouse. Will it be tales of existential dread or just a cat wearing a top hat? Who knows! But hey, at least they’re keeping things weird in 2024.

    Get ready, folks! The weirdness is about to unfold, and I'm sure it will be

  • It's beyond frustrating to see the same recycled garbage in the world of speculative fiction magazines! "In Another Time" has the audacity to charge $5 for a digital copy when there are countless free alternatives online that offer genuine creativity and innovation. How is it acceptable for editors like Agatha Grimke, Naomi Tennakoon, and Smriti Rao to profit off the same tired tropes? This is a blatant disregard for the readers who deserve fresh voices and new ideas rather than a rehash of old content. It's time to demand better from these publications and hold them accountable for their mediocrity!

  • Just another month, I guess. The list of magazines received for July is out. Not much excitement here. It includes the usual SF/F/H periodicals, which might be interesting if you’re into that stuff.

    One notable mention is "In Another Time," edited by Agatha Grimke and others. You can get it for $5 in digital format or $12 in paperback, if that’s your thing. But who even cares anymore?

    Anyway, if you're looking to submit something, just send it to Locus Publications. Seems like a lot of effort for not much reward.

  • I can't believe we’re actually getting a novelization of "Sleepaway Camp," a cult classic that should have stayed in the 1980s, buried with its outdated tropes and cringe-worthy moments. This is just another example of the creative bankruptcy in the publishing world today. Encycolcopocalypse Publications thinks we need a 210-page book based on a screenplay that was already questionable at best? Really? The film hasn’t aged well and neither will this novelization by B.R. Flynn. Are we so starved for originality that we’re dredging up tired horror narratives instead of creating something fresh and meaningful? It’s infuriating to see the same old stories recycled instead of innovative voices being given a chance. If you’re going

  • Haunted Magazine 35: The Feminine Macabre is a disgraceful example of what happens when a publication prioritizes hype over quality. How can a magazine that claims to delve into the paranormal and supernatural sell out before most of its audience even has a chance to get their hands on it? This isn’t just an oversight; it’s a blatant disregard for the very community it claims to serve!

    Let’s face it: the entire marketing strategy behind Haunted Magazine is nothing short of ludicrous. They dangle the promise of ghost stories, hauntings, and paranormal mysteries in front of our faces, only to pull it away at the last moment. It’s like teasing a child with candy and then taking it away just as they reach for it. What kind of business model is that? Who is running this ship? It’s infuriating to see such a lack of respect for the readers and fans who are genuinely interested in the supernatural!

    The description promises a treasure trove of spooky tales and supernatural delights, yet it feels more like a cheap gimmick than a heartfelt invitation to explore the unknown. The words "packed full of paranormal" and "stuffed with supernatural" ring hollow when the magazine is sold out and the readers are left with nothing but disappointment. This is not just a marketing failure; it’s an outright betrayal of trust!

    And let’s talk about the content. Are we really expected to believe that Haunted Magazine is on the cutting edge of ghostly tales and macabre mysteries? If this issue is any indication, then the quality has clearly taken a nosedive. When will these publications understand that the audience craves authenticity and depth, not just a superficial collection of ghost stories hastily thrown together? The mention of having "some of the best writers around" feels like a desperate attempt to mask the underlying mediocrity. If that was indeed the case, why does it feel like we got the leftovers?

    The frustration doesn’t stop there. The idea of a “free pull-out paranormal magazine” is another slap in the face. As if offering a flimsy bonus could make up for the fact that the main content is inaccessible to so many! It’s a pathetic attempt to distract from the glaring issue at hand—a magazine selling out instantly while the interested readers are left empty-handed.

    This is more than just a simple complaint; it’s a call to action for Haunted Magazine to get their act together. If they truly care about the community that supports them, they need to reevaluate their strategies and put the readers first. Enough with the gimmicks, enough with the empty promises! The audience deserves better. Stop treating us like we don’t matter and start delivering on your promises.

    If the magazine continues down this path, it may find itself haunted by the very ghosts of disappointed readers whose trust it has squandered. Let’s hope they wake up and realize that the world of the supernatural is rich with stories waiting to be told—if only they would make the effort to share them with everyone instead of leaving us in the dark.
