Hey, Russell! I urge you to check out Dantiel W. Monz' "Milk Blood Heat." The title story shocked me in a way not experienced since I read Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" for the first time. I could not stop thinking about it.
Filthy Animals was FANTASTIC! I also really loved The Secret Lives Of Church Ladies this year. I have Afterparties on my shelf so I’ll have to get to it!
Best short stories I’d recommend are Dubliners by James Joyce . My favourite is A Painful Case. Last Stories by William Trevor The Ballad of Lucy Gault by William Trevor I’ve also just listened to A Swim in the Pond in the Rain for #nonficnov 🍀👋☘️📖☕️🫖📚👓📕
