HE WAS ASKING FOR IT !
GRAB IT BEFORE IT'S GONE!
Are you tired of extreme horror stories that seem to glorify predators, that eroticize the sexual assault of women?
In this charity anthology which benefits victims of assault, eleven authors offer stories that run counter to the aforementioned tropes, often putting the knife (or gun or garden tool) in the hands of the victim, giving the unsuspecting predator a taste of their own medicine!
All proceeds support the National Organization for Victim Advocacy (TryNOVA.org).
Hosted by Jerry Blaze and Oscar Brady. Edited by Danielle Sundby
Featuring: Aiden Messer, Asher Dark, Carietta Dorsch, E.T., Jess Mays, Jessa Riot, Jonathan Tripp, Lula Von Goth, Oscar Brady, Taylor Z. Adams, Wrath James White
UPCOMING EVENTS - OCT. 2026
KICKSTARTER FOR THEY SWALLOWED THE SUN!
Project description from the Kickstarter Page:
They Swallowed the Sun is a Black speculative fiction anthology set in a multiverse where suns fade, light is scarce, and societies sit on the edge of collapse. In these stories, survival isn’t promised. Every author wrestle with the same question: do we save the sun, word, life … or let it end for good?
This anthology is us snatching back our narrative. Inside these pages you’ll find fantasy, horror, sci-fi, dark romance, Blackfuturism, Afropunk, and stories that don’t fit neatly into any box. There is rage. Joy. Magic. Grief. Resistance. Rest. And the greatest of all, love. Each character grapples with their existence in broken worlds while daring to hope for greater galaxies and better futures.

Ends Nov. 30, 2026!!
