Best American Short Stories? Hi, it's Richard. You don't know me, but I have something for you:

i adore this little oddity from @aaronburch.bsky.social that loops around itself by the end, check it out ! 👇 ♾️

happy bday to hex co-editor extraordinaire @danielmiller.bsky.social !! you make the world a brighter place 🎉🎂✨

Alright, I'm pissed at the system, I'm gonna promote my books. They deserve to exist. Boxcutters is a short story collection that's difficult to sell because it's all over the place stylistically but people have read it and said that it all fits together nicely eveninghousebooks.com/product/boxc...

Look that’s me! Come check out my new story!

love me a good bodyswap fable 👯

Submissions open! Until June 30. www.matchbooklitmag.com/guidelines

SO excited my strange sentient slime mold removal story is out today to read @hexliterary.bsky.social. It's weird! It's voicey! It's (in my opinion) best read imagining it in a heavy new york or boston accent.

"To love is to resurrect what is ancient...I am loved brutally, and reign...I am pleasure remembering herself" 🔥

Apparently May is short story month?!?! In which case, May we recommend . . .

love that we get to publish exactly what i like to read--this story's so funny, strangely familiar, and a bit sad, too 👂👂

I’m 34 years old and I’ve got a book out 🤘 big day! it’s really weird but lovely in practice. Thanks so so so much to everybody who has gotten or wants to get a copy of Boxcutters, who helped make it happen, and who already made this day feel so fulfilling and cool. Thanks, pals 🫂

"When the aliens swarmed Earth, people had to be silent or communicate through ASMR." This week on hex, an absolute wonder by @seandowie.bsky.social! This one is WILD. Katana wielding aliens! Infinite Jest! And all of it circling back around into the deeply human. Don't miss Mr. ASMR, up now! 👽👂⚔️

"Something wriggles in his mouth. The music at the party is bombastic. Tchaikovsky. The old world. He might hurl..." This week on hex, @cherylpappas.bsky.social offers a sensory delight: a nightmare party, and a dream of escape. Do not miss it! 🐣

This is very likely my weirdest story ever, and I am SO grateful to hex literary for giving this fever dream tale a home. Now take a dive into cleaving at the movies with me, my lovelies.

have now read this story sevenish times, and it just gets weirder and cooler

Twenty stories I would consider most influence any blank page I'm at, at the moment.

My debut prose pub is out today! Grateful to @havehashad.com and @hexliterary.bsky.social for letting me share this personal piece.
