Even Gods Can Die is out now! This book has been in the works for a while, and it's a relief (and anxiety inducing) that it's finally released. Hopefully everyone checks it out (it's on kindle unlimited to save you some money)! Thanks to all the early readers and reviewers!

someone opened up a merch store in my home town and literally every single graphic is AI, and to top it all off, they're an "author" with AI generated books in the home town library, too. like, wtf are we doing.

they don't tell you when you donate to something that every charity and non-profit known to man will barrage you with mail every day during the holiday season

This is why I'm not a fan of short listing. Just put me out of misery, don't give me false hope

Poisoned Folk Tales gathers 23 chilling stories; some inspired by folklore from around the world, others spawned from the imaginations of some of horror’s finest, and it's out now!

This includes my weird/folk short story, "The Things from the Woods"!

I HATE WRITING SYNOPSIS

Announcing a new, occasional journal - PALE GREY IDOL. I hope you'll come along with us on this new venture.

Info:

palegreyidol.ca

Cover for PALE GREY IDOL. Featuring black background with maori art of a tribal mask. Yelloe and grey font colors. 

Hello Undertow Family,


It's my great pleasure today to announce publication of a new journal — Pale Grey Idol.


Pale Grey Idol will be an occasional offering. The impetus behind it is to give a home to stories that don't quite fit the needs or aesthetic of Weird Horror magazine.


Some of you may recall the first journal I edited, Shadows & Tall Trees. Pale Grey Idol is very much cast in that mold. A slim journal styled after those first issues of Shadows & Tall Trees, presenting curious tales of the ineffable. Back to our roots, as it were.


An aspect of this new venture that might sadden some of you is that I am not fulfilling direct orders for the journal. I'm sorry about this but hope you'll understand and still support Pale Grey Idol.


Our most precious commodity is time. And these days life is eating away at it in unpleasant ways. I've crunched some numbers, and compared fulfilling orders through our Undertow site with sales through distribution channels. There is a modest amount more that comes in via direct sales, but when I factor in the actual time it takes to fulfill orders, well, that negates that bump. In addition, there have been a number of things that have made fulfillment of both print and eBooks...challenging and vexing.


So I've set up a dedicated website for Pale Grey Idol:


PALE GREY IDOL


There you'll find information about forthcoming issues, submissions guidelines, where to buy* the issues, the newsletter sign-up, and contact information.


I am very excited about this new venture, and I do hope that you will support it if you are able.


PURCHASE





NOTE - It appears the print edition has only propagated to Amazon, thus far. It should be up on Bookshop, and Barnes & Noble soon.


Thank you all for your continued support and good graces.

@micahcastle.comSep 30, 2026, 10:31 PM

@micahcastle.comSep 30, 2026, 10:29 PM
