Launching Squimbop in LA with @specktor.bsky.social and Chris Zeischegg on Oct 14 -- see you there!

It brings me such joy to have stories out on the same day in Southwest Review (the third oldest lit quarterly in the US) and Speculative Erotics/God's Cruel Joke (young queer experimental zine).
When I said I write literary horror and surrealist trash I was not playing.

In the end,you can’t turn your head from the flood and be spared its damage. And even in doing so, you sense something is being withheld. Like an Escher drawing of a man staring at the back of his own head, looking away fuses with looking in, until you can’t separate walking away from walking toward

David Leo Rice on 'The Berlin Wall' | Harvard Magazine David Leo Rice explores the strange, unseen forces shaping our world.

“Storytelling is about exploring the unknown,” says David Leo Rice @raviddice.bsky.social ’10. “Trying to go places, even in your own mind, where there’s some taboo, something holding you back from going.” His novels ask: what lies just out of view?

Barry Gifford on writing LOST HIGHWAY w/ David Lynch in a new podcast w/our man @wmboyle4.bsky.social

Listen to NO SPEED LIMIT ON THE LOST HIGHWAY below & on Spotify or Apple Music 💥 southwestreview.com/volume-110-n...

These people are not waiting to be saved, Jakob thinks. He knows that he’s really thinking these people are not waiting for me to save them, but, aware that his thoughts are not truly his own—that they neither come from nor are they meant for whoever he happens to be, here on this bus—he pretends not to be aware of how intimately involved with the Jakob as Messiah paradigm he really is. This is one of the few forms of solace that the bus journey, now that he knows it won’t take him to New York to begin his art career, still provides. He embraces the possibility that he isn’t Jakob at all and that whoever will or won’t do whatever the Messiah has been created for won’t have to be him.

New work at the site tomorrow / But tonight there's still plenty of time to evolve the paradigm / "Jakob as Messiah" by @raviddice.bsky.social, up now
