That short stories exist in the cracks and interstices of the capitalist system is how you know they’re the superior form
Yeah, unfortunately. Outside the world of magazines, anthologies, and small presses sustained by obsessive volunteer labour, the capital-I industry rather does seem to find short stories an unwanted form electricliterature.com/i-love-short...

I've read the first chapter of this, and it's great! Super glad Brie's novel got picked up!
New book coming summer 2027!
ALLIGATOR BABY, the debut novel from the writer of the WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE podcast, Brie Williams!
This is a novel-in-stories (similar to King's Cycle of the Werewolf) about a monster that has seemingly risen out of legend to terrorize an isolated coastal community.

I read THE EXTRA on Halloween and still mean to post my reader review in the usual places, but for now, in this space, here it is in a nutshell: It rocks. Absolutely gripping delivery on a five-star high concept. Quite eager to read its sequels when they drop.
Between Ingram and bookstore orders (thanks @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social!) we've sold nearly another 100 paperback copies of THE EXTRA today alone. 👀
You'll be hearing about this book for a while. And the next in the series, THE OTHER, is coming June 2026!
