Another gnarly one from Lindz McLeod. "The truth is, there is no reason in this moment why he follows her—only that she was alone, and he was capable of doing so, therefore, he did."

In the @barrelhouse.bsky.social Adult Issue with me: I love erasure poems (particularly ones made from verbose rejection letters, but that's a different story) and I love subversion, and this poem by @davidwrites1.bsky.social has both. www.barrelhousemag.com/online-lit/o...

Have you been craving a piece that plays with narrative perspective? We recommend SLM contributor @sashabrown.bsky.social's new flash in @barrelhouse.bsky.social! "Hijinks Ensue" uses second-person, future-tense address to create a surreal story which you can read online now: buff.ly/avMTBiv

In the @barrelhouse.bsky.social Adult Issue with me: I love how many expectations Rebecca Mental subverts in "Lingerie Moment." I, too, have had therapy sessions where I mostly just tried to reassure the therapist they were doing a good job. www.barrelhousemag.com/blog/new-onl...

In the @barrelhouse.bsky.social Adult Issue with me: "What Two Girls Can Do" by @elizabethendicott.bsky.social starts off in relatively normal (and very well done) lit fic territory, and then it....escalates. Best literary use of a milkshake I've ever seen.

In the @barrelhouse.bsky.social Adult Issue with me: Centerfold by @patrickcrerand.bsky.social pulls off that tricky kid's POV where you observe everything but understand little, and also the wild excitement of a scheme that will definitely get you in trouble. www.barrelhousemag.com/online-lit/c...

First peony of the season! If you cut 'em just before they bloom, when the buds have the texture of a marshmallow, they won't bring a million tiny ants into your house. This variety is Henry Bockstoce, the earliest bloomer in my garden.

In the @barrelhouse.bsky.social Adult Issue with me: Real Estate by @bookbent.bsky.social is surreal, dark, shifty; it refuses to show its cards. Dangerous and funny at the same time! How many soundproof rooms does this house have?! www.barrelhousemag.com/online-lit/r...

@davidwrites1.bsky.social heya David! So cool that you translate from Amharic. I was in Ethiopia once a long time ago. It was pretty. Checked out your Cincinnati Review piece, which I've read before (what a killer ending), and your Catapult piece, which I haven't - good advice on voice there.

Either you feel compelled to find out how I managed to get 1600 words about eating ass into @barrelhouse.bsky.social, or you desperately want not to. Which type are you? www.barrelhousemag.com/blog/new-onl...

Seán Padraic Birnie does it again: the energy in this piece, the weird staggering rhythm, and he sticks the landing like a clown fired out of a cannon. Terrific work in @interzone.digital.
