We’ll start things off with a nice relaxing dinner party, only one of the guests is an evil celestial being in “You Are Cordially Invited to the Last Dinner Party.” Then in a brilliant showing by CHM alum Erik McHatton, the cosmic and the weird go hand in hand in “We Must Be Rabbits.” A bond grows between a boy and his puppet in the Ligottian nightmare “Saywakaw.” Then enjoy an insight...

2023-07-25 12:54:36 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings,
We at CHM do not support the AI art movement. We believe true art is a form of human expression and therefore must be created by human hands and human imagination. Unfortunately, on the print cover for issue #37, I paid to feature an art piece that utilized AI in its creation. I thought I had measures in place to avoid approaching artists that used such techniques, but the piece was not advertised as being created with AI. I don’t want to create an excuse, ...

We open strong with a story that stretches the very fabric of reality in Patrick Barb’s Dream, Girl. Something terrible lurks in the words in the beautifully crafted and unforgettable Becoming by David Peak. A terrifying truth found in the coldest reaches of outer space makes its way home in Adrift, before a child’s favorite VHS movie plays quite differently in adulthood in The Forgott...

We’ve assembled a strong lineup for you this month beginning with a cautionary tale of youthful debauchery titled “Entrance Rites.” Then, from CHM alum Erik McHatton, a child learns to understand an alien invader in “Knocks.” In “Testimony,” a father’s warnings about what lurks in the deep of the woods become all too real. Lessons in humility, as well as theoretical mathematics, are d...
