Just read “Objects of Desire,” the first short story collection from @adamoprice.bsky.social, and it’s truly great; “Sandstorm“ and “Dancing With Berg Hermly” are my favorites. You will certainly not regret buying a copy of “Objects of Desire,” by Adam O’Fallon Price!

Cover of Adam O'Fallon Price's forthcoming collection Objects of Desire. It's sort of a bright blue bird ass on white background. It looks cool
