Landscapes are written about, but there will be no landscape writing. Ghosts appear, but not in the ghost stories. Animals feature heavily, but there is nothing here that might be described as “animal fiction”.

for sure it doesn't want to be narrated or even told--although it might want to be presented as both--it wants to be offered for examination

Definitely the best picture I’ve ever taken from a moving bus.

It's been tough going for small publishers for a while, but they continue to publish a lot of the most exciting new work, and are the main supporters of the short story as a form. Support indie publishing when you can!
