ICYMI: Come celebrate the launch of Family Night with me & @kplumhoff.bsky.social @claudiamonpere.bsky.social @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social @dawnsteffler.bsky.social and @exclamate.bsky.social -- Sat., Oct 24 at 1pm ET -- Event registration: aniking.net/launchparty

-- Saturday, October 24, 2026 at 1pm Eastern
-- Event Link to be provided after registration

register at https://aniking.net/launchparty

Join Ani King for the launch of their debut flash fiction collection, Family Night: Stories (Mason Jar Press). Preorders are available at https://masonjarpress.com/chapbooks-1/family-night.

FAMILY NIGHT is by turns a lyrical celebration of queerness and an exploration of family and loss, often through a lens of magical realism. Ani King’s collected flash fiction stories explore relationships and connections: a teen girl attempting to summon her missing mother home with cigarette smoke and yacht rock songs; two sisters disputing how to care for an unhealthy elderly unicorn; a woman accidentally raising two daughters from the bones of her long-dead pet rabbits.

Ani will be joined by emcee and guest reader Katherine Plumhoff, with additional guests Claudia Monpere, Dawn Tasaka Steffler, Allison Field Bell, and Elizabeth Deanna Morris Lakes. Come hang out with us and enjoy conversation, readings, and giveaways as we celebrate Family Night!

-- Please note we are only collecting your email in order to send the calendar invite and event link.

-- This event will also be recorded.
