Cover reveal! Teeth Kicker is about a reluctant debt collector who helps people get out of debt so that he doesn't have to beat them up. Out in Aug. Pre-orders are open.

Angie is a beautiful writer and I highly encourage you to read her Caddisfly story (or any of her stories tbh).

Final proofread to go... It's fun Also, challenging Also, late nights But life affirming I am grateful

Not sure how I missed this one. "[F]loating in My Hyun’s anti-gravity living-room was like an exorcism, where the heavy part of you disappears, the part that fears falling." What a perfect blend of weight and humor--shows how they can really enhance each other (when done as deftly as this!). So good

Jan/Feb speculative flash roundup + bonus recs!

If you like to laugh, and squirm, then you simply must read this. A absolute Joy. Be "careful to avoid any splinters" though...

This group are all publishing books in 2026. Today it was Sam Elliott. Great to be a part of this writing crew

we fed it trash & asked if it was full & made it beg for more TRASH MAN by @mpershan.bsky.social www.bruisermag.com/Pershan_TrashMan

I finally watched The Long Walk! i wrote a little bit about that here! I hope you will take a look and consider subscribing to my newsletter if you are interested in hearing me talk about other art! Xoxo gossip girl

When you hear something nice for an author you admire!

have also had this @glennorgias.bsky.social story on @hexliterary.bsky.social open in a tab — for a week or two! — and it's fun and great "...floating in My Hyun’s anti-gravity living-room was like an exorcism, where the heavy part of you disappears, the part that fears falling. You become light."

ON REPEAT: Glenn Orgias in Volume 11 Evocative, haunting, and image-rich, this story has stayed with us like a bad dollar bill. @glennorgias.bsky.social Hit repeat: www.major7mag.com/post/mellon-...

Excited to have my anti-gravity story out at @hexliterary.bsky.social today! Thank you @danielmiller.bsky.social and everyone at Hex

This story I dedicate to my beautiful Rio, I miss you so much, you were a beautiful friend.

He looked at the dead dog, Cherry. She was off the road, on a pile of leaves that were composting against the fence. She was stretched out, mouth open. There was nothing wrong with her, except she was dead. Every story @glennorgias.bsky.social writes is a stunner... @necessaryfiction.com

This real life disaster has been on my mind for years, storified here and nominated for a Pushcart?

Thrilled

Love @smokelong.bsky.social

"What if time itself is a kind of wound?" Joshua Jones Lofflin is our featured author this week. Read @jjlofflin.bsky.social's interview that accompanies his award-winning story. www.smokelong.com/interviews/s...

Always love Josh's stories, this one is great! Kinda creepy, vaguely naughty, altogether unsettling and clever.

this is gonna rip and what a title !!!

www.smokelong.com/stories/wild... @glennorgias.bsky.social

Cannot recommend this story enough. Funny, dark, tender. @glennorgias.bsky.social is one of the absolute best doing it

“when I saw a job ad looking for a “big guy” who was willing to “become anonymous” and to live in a “dungeon”, I said: Bingo.” Fantastic new work from @glennorgias.bsky.social in @xraylitmag.bsky.social xraylitmag.com/mrs-beatrix-...

Yessssss, outstanding, Glenn!

“Surely it were a well-appointed abode once but it’s now been restyled with a minimal, heroin-chic, post pawn-shop vibe in mind.” This masterpiece of pace and voice by @glennorgias.bsky.social in @smokelong.bsky.social

The younger’n meets me eye and it’s like he thinks I’m the one who’s gonna save him from Macca, and ain’t the innocent of a child a frightening an terrifying thing. ‘He ain’t so bad,’ I says. ‘Wile E. Coyote, he ain’t got no luck but he’s a fuckin tryer.’ Masterfully done. Awed.

My story, "Wild Gazelle" is at @smokelong.bsky.social today. Thanks to The Smokey Award judges for selecting it as a finalist. I hope you'll take a look at it... www.smokelong.com/stories/wild...

@smokelong.bsky.social asked us to record our stories for this issue, so I asked the wonderful @dilking2002.bsky.social to help, because what a voice...

Love this cover.

All these years later I still really like the surfing video that Penguin made for my memoir (even though the music is slightly ott). All shot at Bondi beach. youtu.be/-sxwbIBPADw?...

Wild Gazelle is a finalist! Cool, cool, very thrilling. The story was originally a scene in my novel (currently on sub) so it feels good that it will have a public life at this beautiful place. Thanks to all the editors at @smokelong.bsky.social, and congrats to all the finalists and winners.

Been sending my crime novel, Teeth Kicker, around. Really pleased to announce I'm now represented by Jeanne Rcykmans at Key People. www.keypeoplelm.com/glenn-orgias

I have a story in this issue #37, somewhere around the middle. It's about religion and regret.
