We are excited to share this beautiful blurb from Shingai Njeri Kagunda, Ignyte winning author of & This Is How To Stay Alive. Thank you Shingai!

The Wildcraft Drones have now infiltrated the printer and are befriending it and convincing it to join the rewilding revolution. We wish them success <3

Causes of Melancholy according to Robert Burton (“The Anatomy of Melancholy”, 1621)

• Original Sin

• Venison

• Anger

• Excessive Solitude

• Demons

• Standing Waters

• Banishment

• Cabbage

• Too much sex

Admittedly, being banished to a stagnant pond to have angry sex in the cabbage with a dead deer, while alone with your demons and original sin, doesn't exactly scream 'mental stability.' You can’t quite call it depression, but it’s certainly too much work to be considered idleness.

From the depths of the half-forgotten ages (i.e. 1990s) Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein resurrects "Re-Quest Denied" (1998) by Stanley C. Sargent, a rare tale set in the Sesqua Valley as tribute to W. H. Pugmire.

The Alien House
Ralph is Michael’s inner voice. Sarcastic. Brutal. Always watching.
He also thinks aliens are real.
Michael just thinks he’s losing it.
'The Alien House' is what happens when both might be right.

Pages 5 and 6 of "Orange", an original short story set in Appalachia. (from the PDF version, using Chrome's PDF viewer that doesn't know left from right.)

If the whole idea of shillbilly Vance's egregious "Elegy" leaves a bad taste in your mouth, this could fix you right up. Also it's much, much shorter. And doesn't blame poor people for being poor.
