Issue 4 - Our top picks Jennifer & Laura choose their top picks from our latest issue!

Announcing our top picks from Issue 4 of @frazzledlit.bsky.social

We narrowed it down to four each that particularly resonated with us, but it was excruciating to do so. We have so much love for this issue and all in it.

We hope you love them as much as we do!

Two fab stories here by @nomad-sw18.bsky.social for @frazzledlit.bsky.social. Both so sumptuous, and both feel connected, with a theme of disposing of "inconvenient" parts

New Irish Writing: Come Away, O Human Child by Niamh Cullen 1. It was a long time since Niamh had felt the warmth of a man against her body. Her sisters didnโ€™t understand the longing. Why bother, Sรญobha said, when they are so impatient and skittish, their live...

My strangle little retelling of the Niamh and Oisin story appears in the Independentโ€™s New Irish Writing series today. Very pleased it found a home there m.independent.ie/entertainmen...

"Youโ€™re here, Avi, in my home and my imagination gets unleashed. I imagine weโ€™d fled, pursued music together. I imagine youโ€™ve placed your arm around me. I imagine holding your callused hands."

She Didn't Know Flash fiction by Clodagh O'Brien

"She didnโ€™t know it was you who saw the bruises before she covered them up with sleeves and makeup."

Great use of anaphora in this hard-hitting tale from @iamagnat.bsky.social - read or listen to it in Issue 4 of @frazzledlit.bsky.social

Two Poems by Jo Rigg The reassurance machine

One of those stories that grabs you by the shoulder and then by the throat a little, not really letting you go. @eireneeleni.bsky.social writes a belter of a tale.
Take a look!

Gritty and brave. Just the way we like the stories to be. Listen to @chriscottom.bsky.social and Read this story by @yalanchang.bsky.social before you do another thing.
