I always seem to be on a quest for the perfect horror film, but i'm not sure i could define what that is. It never seems to be anything i've actually seen.

Looking over six word stories, found my favorite one: "The plague starts with a hug".

Am four pages in. It's about a retired Florida judge obsessed with a sand dune. (sorry I couldn't paraphrase that more enticingly).

Reading this at the moment. Pleasantly surprised to find a Stephen King story in something as high-end as Granta.

i have a 3yo and ridiculously i'm already anticipating the same anxieties. I suppose in the end we have to learn to accept letting go.

Some random consolation: Kafka died convinced his entire oeuvre never amounted to anything.

I understand why you feel that. but it was a pretty depressing performance (or non-performance).

Saw this in the UK yesterday. You know you’ve been reading too much cosmic horror when even department store slogans unsettle you.

Today, in sharing the work of peers I admire, I’ve chosen Ivanov Reyez, a Texan poet who has written some exquisite pieces (see “Wet in That Rain” below). I think he has a very special voice. thegalwayreview.com/2023/02/21/i...
