"How do you write a story your characters aren’t supposed to tell?" On our site now: Editorial Assistant Mialise Carney reviews @nassos.bsky.social 's *Sour Cherry* (@tinhouse.bsky.social), a reimagining of Bluebeard stories. Link in thread.
A graphic with the word Review in white at the top. The background is a gray shape over black background, with white CR logo at the bottom right. Three elements in the middle: the red cover with pink letters of the novel Sour Cherry; this quote in a white box: "How do you write a story your characters aren't supposed to tell? Mialise Carney"; and a small circular picture of Carney, a blond woman with blue eyes standing in front of a pink flowering bush.

🎁 Poem-a-day advent calendar 🎁 Day 21 is 'Tumor Response' from 'Blue Opening' by Chet'la Sebree 💙 @tinhouse.bsky.social
Cover of blue opening is a blue background with gold splatters TUMOR RESPONSE At North Star Bar, my aunt and I ordered most of the appetizers on the menu: rockfish bites, a pound of steamed shrimp, lemon-pepper hot wings. Over the feast, I saw her cry for the first time about the glioblastoma, about the invasive brain-tissue shift that would only extend her life by months. She murmured something about hair loss, and I searched for what to say-wishing her fate was one I could delay. It's gonna be alright, she whispered, recomposing. Careful, hands dusted in Old Bay, as she wiped what we were both digesting from her face. Will you take me to the water, she asked as she returned to peeling the carapace off a shrimp's body, exposing its pink flesh.
