Hidy, I'm a weird fiction author and this is my first collection of short stories! RELEASE THE HORSE: Yarns of Rural Oddity is my contribution to the tradition of Ozarks folk tales and rural horror. Now available for pre-order from Filthy Loot Press 🤠

I've not jumped into his work yet, but I've got two on the hold list!

Matthew Mitchell @matthewmitchell.bsky.social · 3h

And in sooo many ways. I'm certainly not excluded: I try to really serve rural language, and that's an understandable barrier for any sane reader

I wish genre writers gave as much attention to dialogue as their concepts and stingers. Would love to read your story about a slasher who raises tadpoles, but everyone talks like it's OOPS! All A.D.R. on a late era episode of Arrested Development

where have all the homie artists gone? some real Twilight Zone "I have all the time in the world" type shit

whomst reality is this

I give Zach Bryan a hard time, but I hope y'all understand the importance of what he's done with that fucking song. This is the kind of shit that changes the hearts in need of full replacements. It's what country music in America is all about, baby.
