HARUSPEX PRESENTS: Sabbath of the Fox-Devils by @sammytotep.bsky.social ! Part homage to 80s small-creature horror films, part Splatterpunk take on Goosebumps, Sabbath is a weird, diabolical coming-of-age horror story of liberation in an oppressive religious environment set during the Satanic Panic.

It’s #transdayofvisibility and I have messy feelings as usual about being visible as a nonbinary artist. The GUTS story in here is the most trans thing I’ve written, about enmeshment, infighting, the scary intimacy of disabled sex, and ambivalence about being alive. Pls view that instead of me.

INTRODUCING: Haruspex Audio, an indie audiobook production company started by yours truly. Killer titles will be revealed over the next couple of weeks!

A pink cassette leaking guts instead of tape

About Haruspex. Haruspex: one who divined the future by the reading of entrails. Harried Audio is an insurgent full service audiobook label founded by Rain Corbyn. We use award winning narrators, professional proofing and mixing, and both wide and direct distribution to produce and sell great audiobooks. Let us do what we do best so you can focus on what you do best

Haruspex was born from a belief that authors, publishers, and audio professionals deserve better. Right now, publishers who want audiobooks must either pay hundreds to thousands of dollars upfront, or get locked into predatory royalty share agreements that pay billionaires more than the artists. Oh, and the whole process is intimidatingly confusing.
No surprise, most indie books never get audiobooks at all. They should! Audiobooks are important accessibility tech, a revenue source that shouldn't be left on the table, and an exciting milestone for authors. I'm here to help.

I couldn’t be more thrilled and grossed out by the cover for my debut novella, “Can We Look Directly At It, Just For a Second?” coming next year from @lethepress.bsky.social . @inkspiraldesign.bsky.social did a fantastic job capturing the cosmic body horror!! CW: bugs

What looks like a planet in space is, on closer inspection, a massive blood filled tick whose body is part of a solar eclipse. Around it are the novella’s title

Rain Corbyn (They/Them)@raincorbyn· Dec 15

Novella announcement and cover reveal tomorrow!

The 2024 solar eclipse filmed through a bare tree.

IG post text
Last spring, my partner took me to a mountain lakefront to see the eclipse. It was beautiful and terrifying, and the other people there were annoying and equally scary. That year I also got a tick bite that fucked me up and challenged my relationship with my body and ecosystem.
Throughout and still, I worried about whether making ugly art and being one’s truest messiest self mattered at the end of the world.
These as the inspirations for my debut novella, “can we look directly at it, just for a second?” It is queer, eco, body and cosmic horror. Equal parts I saw the tv glow, naked lunch, and Annihilation. An incredible press will publish it next year.
Full deets tomorrow but I’m full of awe and excitement for what will come, and gratitude for the human, animal, plant, and fungal company I had while writing it.

Death of the Author: One

RAIN CORBYN'S GONNA FUCKIN' DIE
TONIGHT! :D
I say, "gonna die" like a plane is going to fall out of the sky onto Rain, or they'll have a freak heart attack or spontaneously combust, or something. Nope nuh nope-nope-NOPE! They're gonna die because I'm gonna kill them with a knife!
In like, less than an hour! Can you believe it? They're right over there sleeping like they're not about to be, you know, skkkrrkk. Murder, I guess, is the legal term. If you want to be a NERD about it, NERD.
Okay, fine, it's clearly just straight up murder. This act is intentional and premeditated, but in another sense it's as random as a surprise rainfall.
Get it, Rain fall? "Too soon', you say? Well to that I say get a grip, pumpkin tits. That's what this is going to be like.
Word to the wise. You writerly people need,
and I mean need to stop mailing books to total strangers with your home address at the top left of the package. Not to be all "what was she wearing," but trusting strangers with your address increases the risk of all-cause mortality by 567%, according to a study I just pulled out of my ass.

Reef Mind by @hazelzorn.bsky.social is a banger eco-body horror story I highly recommend. The oceans want revenge. Those close to us are slowly but surely becoming other than human. The prose reflect’s Zorn’s art background and will get right under your skin! 9.9 from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social
