Sarah Doebereiner is an author from Ohio. Macabre themes fascinate her because of their tendency to stay with readers long after the book has closed, but the joy in short fiction is the opportunity to try out all kinds of genres. sarahadoebereiner.com

My old man is going to gray, and yet he is still just a little, tiny baby.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

self portrait of the artist seated at a kitchen table with her head resting on on the table and her arms hanging limp with exhaustion. Two goblins approach her curiously.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Where I live, minimum wage (non tip) is about the price of a pound of ground beef (at 90/10).

A pound of meat shouldn’t cost an hour of your life.

Often, when I’ve been interviewed about a book I wrote, the interviewer hasn’t read it.

When I interview someone about their book, I read it.

1. It takes the pressure off the guest. They don’t have to explain everything.
2. It’s easier to come up with good questions.
3. I get to read a book!

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s β€˜per se,’ not β€˜per say.’
It’s β€˜dog-eat-dog world,’ not β€˜doggy-dog world.’
It’s β€˜hunger pangs,’ not β€˜hunger pains.’
It’s β€˜one and the same,’ not β€˜one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

books should have an anti-acknowledgements section where the author talks shit about all the people who fucked them over while they were trying to write the thing. not bc I personally want to write one but bc I love gossip

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

No I don't want "humane" deportations, for the same reason I don't want "friendly" cops in schools or "understanding" genital inspectors at sporting events.

The problem is the fascism, not that the fascism is rude.

I think nearly the entire Horror genre boils down to the idea that it is worthwhile to fight until your very last breath. Even, and maybe especially, when there is no hope.
