'Sheer in the Sun, They Pass' by @hesterjrook (@FiresideFiction) is such a horny piece of haunted fiction about ghosts it's by far one of my favorite stories I've ever worked on. firesidefiction.com/sheer-in-the-s… 23/24

“The Bone Prophet” by @hesterjrook in @thefuturefire loosens your anchor in time by drawing from mythology, past and apocalyptic future in this lyrical flash tale of desperation and perseverance. futurefire.net/2021.58/fictio…

SHEER IN THE SUN, THEY PASS is out now at @FiresideFiction (perfect art by @deericku) sometimes ghosts just want to escape their own haunted house 🏡 sometimes girls just want to be beaten up by other girls 👻 firesidefiction.com/sheer-in-the-s…

The January issue of @FiresideFiction I guest-edited is out! @hesterjrook's 'Sheer in the Sun, They Pass' is up for free to read now (and the whole issue is available for purchase, too!). It's equal parts scary and sensual. I couldn't ask for more in a BDSM ghost story, really.

THRILLED to have been a part of this: stone-soup.ghost.io/archive/buildi…

What a great story. It is beautiful written. So many images of natural beauty throughout. Circe’s beautiful lush garden. Her long life of longing for another like her and yet unlike her. I love it. Thanks ⁦@hesterjrook⁩ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod…
