"It was the season of fat raspberries, fresh-caught salmon packed layers-deep in freezers, fiddleheads fried in the pan." JR Fenn's CASSANDRA is just the slice of fiction you need right now. Check out this flash piece in our newly released SEPTEMBER ISSUE: buff.ly/5mYlMXa

Guys, I could NOT be more excited to have a story published at Short Story, Long, and I honestly really love this story in a way that I think you love just a few stories you’ve written. Maybe it’s the encroaching nostalgia, maybe it’s just the fun I had with the form, but I hope you’ll read it!

Kick back, fix yourself a warm drink, and enjoy our SEPTEMBER ISSUE. 🍁 WORDS by Max Wheeler, JR Fenn, Kimaya Diggs, & Michal ‘MJ’ Jones ART by Valerie Marshall AND Benjamin Selesnick reviews Katie Lynn Johnston PLUS Matthew Groff reviews Gabe Montesanti buff.ly/uOXuAsg

“what are you doing tonight?”

My best friend is married to Tonic’s drummer, can confirm The Juice is a mystery

😤

@emilylauracosta.bsky.social starts the collection off with a solid offering that begs the question: Who is the Glow Stick Girl? Perhaps this is the question that keeps me from attending any class reunions. This story is quietly disturbing & honest & a reflection of so many lives.

I have a new story out today! Huge thanks to @kimmagowan.bsky.social & @pitheadchapel.bsky.social. And to you, for reading! (No thanks AT ALL to you if you don't read it 😤) pitheadchapel.com/the-bowling-...

wrote about this scene from 28 days later and other equally important cheeseburger scenes in film with @emilylauracosta.bsky.social this month: listlessstack.substack.com/p/listless-g...

new semester tomorrow which means summer is over which means burger season is over which ALSO means new LISTLESS out now 🍔🍔🍔🍔 (🔗⬇️)

it’s friday nite

I planned to just read a couple stories but couldn’t stop, it’s too good @emilylauracosta.bsky.social

Helluva reading streak I’m currently experiencing… @sandorfpassage.bsky.social @emilylauracosta.bsky.social @autofocusbooks.bsky.social @clairehopple.bsky.social @ferrifrigida.bsky.social

I'll write up an actual Goodreads review to this effect at some point and elaborate, but Girl on Girl from @emilylauracosta.bsky.social was an incredible read, and I would have read it cover to cover in one sitting had I not been running on an elliptical when I started it.

this is me driving to work every morning

🪩🪩🪩😈

really excited to get to write about the music video that terrified me as a child (& also made me really sad!!!!) thank you @marchxness.bsky.social

really connecting with this youtube comment

Needed this 🍻 @emilylauracosta.bsky.social @rejectionlit.bsky.social

taking a moment here to emphasize how good @emilylauracosta.bsky.social's "girl on girl" is. some of the best short stories i've read in quite a while. the whole collection feels like a middle-school sleepover -- a really weird, perfect mix of joyful nostalgia and plain old uneasiness.

Thanks so much to our amazing intern Evangeline Lim for putting together these summer beauties for your reading pleasure! Featuring @dinalrelles.bsky.social @chloechun.bsky.social @emilylauracosta.bsky.social @joshmccolough.bsky.social Eli Kourtis, Ajay Makan, Aurielle Marie, Juliana Lamy, & more!
