I’m back in @bulbregion.bsky.social with “Unsent Love Letters (& Other Regrets)” ♡ grateful to @sarpsozdinler.bsky.social + all of you who read this story 💌 📬 bulbregion.com/Unsent-Love-...

Oh, I love this so much @anniejowrites.bsky.social! It's funny and odd and just the right amount absurd and then the final scene and dialogue hits so hard. I think about endings a lot, and this is an example of a perfect one!

A fantastic story by a truly fantastic author

"When the mailboxes started appearing all over town—the ones in which you could send letters to your dead that they’d be able to receive and read—we all regarded it as something dangerous." 📬 Find @anniejowrites.bsky.social's haunting story in The Bulb Region today. bulbregion.com/Unsent-Love-...

Before tomorrow's new edition, make time to read this beautiful story by our returning contributor Anna Vangala Jones (@anniejowrites.bsky.social), "Mae and Me," published in Doric Literary (@doricliterary.bsky.social). doric-literary.com/2025/08/15/m...

“Do the dead write back to you?” “And even if they do—then what?” Love this story about mailboxes that hold letters for the dead and yes, phone booths (remember them?) from which you can call and talk to them! @anniejowrites.bsky.social @bulbregion.bsky.social

"What if we were to trust and fill each mailbox to the brim with our love letters until they overflowed into the streets?" Big love for this extraordinary story by @anniejowrites.bsky.social in @bulbregion.bsky.social 💙💙💙 bulbregion.com/Unsent-Love-...

“'Hi, camel,' I say, in the voice I use for animals, for those I need to calm down, for those I need to love me. I decide to give him a name. 'Chad, you sweetie.'” Chad, Vivian, Pete, the shout of the wind & @lorisambolbrody.bsky.social in @reckonreview.bsky.social reckonreview.com/what-we-lost...

Been thinking a lot about this since it came up among some writer pals: Writers, do you have a short story you consider your signature or flat out best work? Why that one? Good feedback, dear to your heart, good blend of what you like to do best? Every answer is interesting imo

I hope you have @pdforan.bsky.social’s collection on your radar, book lovers. It’s a stunner!📚💙
