Short Stories and Flash Fiction
I started writing fiction as a way to try to tell the truth in ways that weren’t constrained by the rules of fact and journalism. Many of my stories have appeared in literary journals, fantasy magazines and online.
Here’s a sampling of the stories that are available free online:
FREE COFFIN
published in the January 2022 issue of Fantasy Magazine
or listen to the story on the podcast here beautifully read by the actor Joshua Kane.
COLLECTION OF THE ARTIST
published in the August 2021 issue of The Masters Review
This story took second place in the Masters Review winter contest, as judged by the superb novelist Helen Oyeyemi.
DREAM OF THE WHITE WORM
published in the July 2018 online edition of American Short Fiction
This is a flash fiction piece about a wife’s bad dream and a husband’s inability to see beyond his own woes. (Please note that the audio version of the piece is rather distorted, so it’s best to just read the text.)
