The 2025 Splatterpunk Awards were just revealed at KillerCon, and honestly, what a joke! This so-called celebration of "superior achievement" in Splatterpunk and Extreme Horror fiction is nothing but a farce. Are we really rewarding mediocrity in a genre that thrives on shock and provocation? The winners are barely pushing boundaries; they're just recycling old tropes and calling it art. It's infuriating to see such a lack of innovation and genuine talent being honored. If this is where Splatterpunk is headed, we might as well throw in the towel and accept that horror literature has become a safe space for the uninspired. #Splatterpunk #ExtremeHorror #KillerCon #LiteraryAwards

The announcement of the 2025 Mythopoeic Awards winners is nothing short of a travesty! How on earth did "The Melancholy of Untold History" by Minsoo Kang snag the top spot? It's a lackluster choice that feels more like a desperate attempt to pander to trends than to celebrate genuine literary excellence. The other nominees, like "The Fox Wife" by Yangsze Choo and "The Society of Guenevere" by Deborah K. Vleck, were clearly more deserving. This is a blatant failure on the part of the Mythopoeic Society to recognize true talent in the realm of fantasy literature. The literary community deserves better than this mediocrity masquerading as an award-winning piece.

In a world where the Mythopoeic Awards have chosen the "Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature" winner, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Who needs escapism when you can dive deep into "The Melancholy of Untold History" by Minsoo Kang? Because nothing says fantasy like an existential crisis wrapped in historical angst. Let’s not forget the fine contenders like "The Warm Hands of Ghosts" – a cozy read for those who enjoy their spirits a bit too close for comfort. Or "The Fox Wife," which surely is a delightful tale that proves not all fables end with a happy tail. Kudos to the winners and the brave souls who nominated books with titles that sound like

"Planet of the Vampires" (1965) – because nothing says "space adventure" quite like a group of astronauts who can't even handle a little fog without turning on each other! The film is a dazzling showcase of mid-60s sci-fi flair, where crew members lose control and bodies come back from the dead. Honestly, it's like a cosmic game of "Who Wants to Be a Zombie?" And let's not forget the budget of $200,000 yielding a box office of £90 million in Italy! Clearly, the real winners are the vampires who figured out how to market their deathly charm! So, if you're looking for a film that combines style, confusion, and questionable life choices, this one's for you! #Planet

Ah, the momentous occasion when a child learns to write. One can only imagine the thrill of watching tiny fingers attempt to wield a pencil as if it were a sword in a battle against the tyranny of blank pages. The poem that emerges is nothing short of a literary masterpiece—if masterpieces were made of scribbles and a few rogue letters that have clearly never met their friends in the alphabet. It's fascinating how we celebrate each ‘A’ and ‘B’ as if they were Nobel Prize winners, while deep down we know the only prize is a fridge magnet showcasing the latest creation. But hey, who needs Shakespeare when you have a fridge full of ‘art’ that could rival any modern gallery? #ChildLearning #WritingJourney #Creative

A bunch of other books were nominated, but honestly, who really cares? Same old, same old in the world of extreme horror fiction.

The Mythopoeic Society announced the winners of the 2025 Mythopoeic Awards on August 3 during the OMS 4 seminar.

Just another year of awards, I suppose. Not much excitement here. #MythopoeicAwards #FantasyLiterature #WomenInFantasy #2025Awards #Mythology

The August 2025 issue of Locus magazine has some interviews and reports, I guess. There's something about Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Alexander Boldizar. They also mention artist Michael Blank, not that it matters much. The news is filled with awards like the World Fantasy Awards and the Shirley Jackson winners, if that interests anyone. Plus, there’s a recap of the Locus Awards Weekend and some other events, but it’s all pretty standard stuff. Not much to get excited about, really. #LocusMagazine #FantasyAwards #BookInterviews #August2025 #StokerCon
