I have been very bad about keeping up this blog. Today, though, a new flash fiction has been published in the journal HAD: "Broken Record." It is my first fiction publication in nearly three years. Many thanks to Aaron Burch for publishing it!
I've also added a few new links on the sidebars:
- "Broken Record," of course, added to the list of online fiction.
- A link to Kristopher Woofter's edited collection, Shirley Jackson: A Companion, which includes my essay, "Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Secret of the Mother's Desire in The Bird's Nest." The collection was nominated for a 2021 Bram Stoker Award in the category "Superior Achievement in Non-Fiction."
- A link to a recorded panel on Shirley Jackson: A Companion I participated in for the 2021 inaugural symposium, "Reading Shirley Jackson in the 21st Century," organized by Bernice Murphy, Dara Downey, and Janice Deitner of Trinity College Dublin, and featuring editor Kristopher Woofter and fellow contributors Patrycja Antoszek and Emily Banks.
