I really struggled with this short story from Women Destroy Science Fiction on a few levels. One is kind of embarrassing, but I've admitted it before, so: I don't do well with squick factor. The narrative of this short story places an artist in a small single-room space-ship on a long journey and there's a … Continue reading Sunday Shorts—A Word Shaped Like Bones by Kris Millering
#ShortStoryMonth Day Twenty-Six — “You Ride the Bus,” by Jeffrey Ricker
The Best Things in Life Are Free One of the things I do love about authors who write short fiction (and who have books I can purchase) is how often they've got a free story or two floating around so you can read them and fall in love with their words. Now, pointing you towards … Continue reading #ShortStoryMonth Day Twenty-Six — “You Ride the Bus,” by Jeffrey Ricker

There's no real spoilers here, beyond their being together, so even if you've not read the books, this should be … Continue reading Friday Flash Fics — “Brewing”
#ShortStoryMonth Day Twenty-Three — “Coyote Love,” by Kraig Blackwelder
Gore? Nope. It was fairly easy for me to consider what genre of short story I'd likely consider for the daily theme of something that's not my usual taste: horror. I don't read a lot of horror because—totally willing to admit this—it gets in my head and sticks, often leading to awful nights of bad … Continue reading #ShortStoryMonth Day Twenty-Three — “Coyote Love,” by Kraig Blackwelder
