My new flash story “Pale Serpent, Green Serpent” is out in this issue of Uncanny!! 🐍

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable
