Fiction

We are looking for imaginative explorations of fiction from the frighteningly realistic to the absurdly speculative. Though the genres we are drawn to differ, we all look for emotionally resonant pieces that speak to the intrinsic experience of being alive. We look for stories that speak to the unspeakable – stories that haunt or enthrall us, that send chills up our spines, or warm us to our core.

“When we went to Josie’s funeral, they played the last playlist she ever made. It was weird because it was all pop music from the 80’s. We walked up to her casket to Prince and Madonna while her mother screamed and wailed.”
“What Was Said” Finn Beirne-Shafer

“On those wooden shelves, friends and enemies are equally acquainted. People who may never have met are neighbors. Virginia Woolf sits next to Stephen King, and when my eye’s pass over them, I laugh at Virginia’s face as I imagine her grimacing and rolling her eyes. I often think of moving Virginia next to someone more her style, Jane Austen perhaps, or her old pal Katherine Mansfield, but I always decide against it. I think she’ll do King some good.
