Here they are! All twenty stories from Brown Hound Press Season One. What a great collection of authors from around the world. You can read them all for free at brownhoundpress.com.

My new novel has a cover. And it looks great. I’ll be sharing it soon.

I don't want to make @joshaboldt.bsky.social self-conscious, but I was sending a link to a @brownhoundpress.bsky.social story and scrolled down this page and just, wow, every one is a banger--I have never seen a mag develop a personality so quickly. Catch up: www.brownhoundpress.com/stories

Have you read our story of the week by @joshaboldt.bsky.social yet? #weekendreads www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/josh...

We pair every story with a song and call it the Story Track. This week's pick is Waylon Jennings’s “You Ask Me To”. Read why we chose it: www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/chel...

Weirdo-approved by @chillsubs.bsky.social.

I’m a sucker for a con artist story. Even more so if it’s set in the American South. “Kenforth’s Baptism” by @chelyen.bsky.social is a tale of grift and manipulation about two brothers who find weakness in their marks and exploit it. Josh Boldt, Editor www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/chel...

Ooh, I loved this story. Fictional con artists are my catnip.

Our Story of the Week is a strange unsolved mystery about a unique art form. Written by a debut author! #weekendreads #fiction #shortstories www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/dean...

New story of the week is up today. This is the author’s first publication, and the writing is excellent. #debutauthor #shortstories #mystery #fiction www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/dean...

Story Track: The Kill for Love album by Chromatics is one of my top records of the past twenty years. The track “These Streets Will Never Look the Same” is a fitting match for @lucidillusions.in’s story with its eerie synth and lyrics. -Josh Boldt, Editor

Story of the Week: Suvajeet Duttagupta (@lucidillusions.in) explores the concept of digital addiction in his story “The Digital Familiar” wherein a teenage girl becomes psychologically dependent on an AI(?)-powered phone app. - Josh Boldt, Editor www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/suva...

Story of the Week: I loved the subtle foreshadowing in Deb Blenkhorn's piece, hints that the story may not be as innocent as it seems. The final, devastating reveal demands a rereading of the girls’ experiences with newly-opened eyes. Josh Boldt, Editor www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/deb-...

Merceline Ochieng’s story is inspired by the murder of Agnes Tirop and of many other women in her country of Kenya. Merceline is a Fulbright Scholar currently living and teaching in Kentucky. www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/merc...

One of the things I look forward to on Thursdays in my inbox... and now I'm very excited to read tomorrow's story! (p.s. BHP has been an absolute treasure find for me and I've loved everyone of the stories Josh has shared)

You’ll want to be subscribed so you get the Thursday email this week. It is a haunting and important story written by a Fulbright Scholar from Kenya. Subscribe at brownhoundpress.com #shortstories

I really dug the mix of horror and humor here -- what hath these parents done?

As the editor of @brownhoundpress.bsky.social I wouldn’t dream of asking an author to submit a story and then deliberately deciding they aren’t worthy of a response. I can’t understand how other publications think this is acceptable behavior. We don’t do that.

Story Track: The Sigur Rós song “Samskeyti” employs the band’s signature sound: sequences of gradually-layering, syncing patterns, similar to the thoughts of the story’s narrator. The Icelandic title roughly translates to “seam” like the mental connection between the two telepathic characters.

what a gorgeous little story! (this is going to stay with me for a long time, and inspire me to write something new, I know it) take a 5 minute breather and read this, you'll appreciate something about yourself that's meant to be… just for you! #readSky #ReaderSky #ShortStory #WritingCommunity

We just saw The Bride! and it’s fucking great. Highly recommend seeing in theater. @joshaboldt.bsky.social and I agree it’s the best movie we’ve seen in awhile. Wildly inventive and steeped in movies at the same time.

Anybody need a yogurt cup cleaner? I know one who will work for, well, yogurt.

Story of the Week: In Soramimi Hanarejima's “Minding Yourself” we are dropped into telepathic chaos along with the narrator. As we read, the urgency overtakes us until we become the tandem skydiver of the story’s beautiful last line. -Josh Boldt, Editor www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/sora...

The title says it all for this week’s song pairing: Queen’s “I’m in Love With My Car.” Neighbor Carl has an unhealthy relationship with his automobile. If you spot him lurking in your driveway, you better cover that tailpipe! www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/judy... #shortstories #soundtracks

It’s hard to get published at Brown Hound Press, but one thing we guarantee all authors is you will hear back from us quickly. Two weeks or less. Every submission.

I went in blind for this story, and it had everything and more I expected as it progressed. @judypenzsheluk.bsky.social whattay great story! loved it so much! p.s. @joshaboldt.bsky.social perfect track combo (I was thinking of Greased Lightening at the fixer upper bit)

Story of the Week: It’s just a coincidence we scheduled @judypenzsheluk.bsky.social's darkly humorous tale about feuding with a rude neighbor and exacting a delicious revenge this week. Not at all related to my own daydreams. I promise! -Josh Boldt, Editor www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/judy...

Please send your thoughts and prayers to @joshaboldt.bsky.social who is getting my chapters hot off the typing fingers while I'm crunching toward deadline and being so great as to read them -- finally think I've figured this one out

Story of the Week is “Nepo Baby” by Damieka Thomas. Check it out at brownhoundpress.com.

Story of the Week - Damieka Thomas only needed 1200 words to paint a vivid character portrait in “Nepo Baby.” Thomas has given a masterful example of how to develop a character implicitly by dropping the character into a scene and letting her react to it. www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/dami...

I just spent a harrowing several hours making a birthday cake for @joshaboldt.bsky.social’s birthday tomorrow and I think the reason I prefer writing books to baking is you get to live in the uncertainty of whether it will turn out good long enough you forget the verdict will come. Anyway! 🤞🎂
