My short story “Pulp” now available in print
2011 | 03.01
So, a short story of mine, “Pulp,” was accepted in Down in the Dirt magazine in the late fall/early winter. You can find it online here (just click on my name to read), and now, you can find it in Volume 92, which is for sale here.
The story is pretty gruesome, so be warned.
