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...

This story is so well-written that I immediately re-read it, to see the darkness hidden within. Beautiful and hopeful, with an eye firmly fixed on less-hopeful realities.

Story Track: Like Deb Blenkhorn’s story, Taylor Swift’s “Seven” remembers a childhood friend whose “house was haunted.” Both stories tell of pain and hope intertwined, of girls (later women) overcoming dark histories and moving forward the best they can. www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/deb-...

@brownhoundpress.bsky.social is publishing some of the best work today. Make sure you check them out, and SUBMIT YOUR STORIES THE MINUTE THEY OPEN UP!

Book rec. Just finished this one by Brown Hound contributor @libbycudmore.bsky.social! Good for those who like noir, private detective, and mystery novels. Lots of great music references too.

Can I just say “wow” to convince you guys to go read this piece? #ReaderSky #FlashFiction #BookSky

On Thursdays, we read the story of the week! This one is a lovely idyll, right up until a knife twist at the end.

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-...

I took a deep dive into Kenyan music while researching this story. And, wow, did I find some amazing musicians. Muthoni Drummer Queen is now one of my top artists on Spotify. The song for Merceline Ochieng’s story is “Power.” You’ll know what I mean when you hear the lyrics. - Josh Boldt, Editor

haven't posted yet this month -- AWP/travel, etc -- but posted quite a few reviews in Feb of some GREAT short stories published in @brownhoundpress.bsky.social Short Story, Long, @fracturedlit.bsky.social, and @mrbullbull.bsky.social Check them out here: read-short-stories.com

This powerful story takes us inside a brutal reality in the author's home country. Merceline is a force and I believe this is her first published piece. Proud that the Lexington Writer's Room has been able to support her and her voice. Please share!

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)

Story Track of the Week - Pink Floyd’s “Mother” is an allegory, but it’s also a story about, shall we say, questionable parenting strategies. In McCurry’s story, Sila’s parents, similarly, have good intentions; however, things fall apart in the execution. www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/chri...

A new story by Christopher McCurry is up at brownhoundpress.com. We publish a story every Thursday. Subscribe to get it emailed each week for free.

Thursday story on @brownhoundpress.bsky.social www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/chri...

This popped up in the inbox just when I sat down for dinner in between shoots and man this was an amazing story. Go ahead, read it, you'll love it. (Also +1 on the paired song @joshaboldt.bsky.social I was thinking of the same one when reading it 😬) #ReaderSky #CosyHorror #ShortStory

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

Story of the Week - Christopher McCurry's “Bila” is a dark humor adventure in parenting that provides much-needed levity for anyone who has ever dealt with a misbehaving child. In other words, anyone who has ever dealt with a child. -Josh Boldt, Editor www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/chri...

Calling all #shortstory writers! @brownhoundpress.bsky.social

A message to all the writers out there who are feeling overwhelmed and overlooked by an industry that often feels cold and harsh. Keep writing stories. Keep sharing them with the world. We need you.

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.

It's Thursday and that means it's time for a new #shortstory from @brownhoundpress.bsky.social www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/sora...

The way this story made my ADHD mind feel seen ;)

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...
