Welcome to Free Fiction Friday for May the 8th! We love a story that uses an effective "rule of three" structure (along with appealing prose a unique idea), and this one does so to perfection. Please enjoy "The Frayed Edges of Souls" by Azure Arther. magazine.trollbreath.com/the-frayed-e...

I will never not shout out @emcheeseman.bsky.social for this beautiful graphic novel of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Every year, this is my high schoolers first intro to Gawain. You did your big one with keeping this accessible and free. Thank you. www.emilycheeseman.com/greenknight/

Travel is a good way to expand your mind. It's also a good way to find portals to other worlds hidden behind bookshelves, and collectible goblin bones in the old forest.

I have a story in this magazine. It's dark and empowering and pensive and witchy...and I really appreciate Trollbreath for giving it a home. Read "The Frayed Edges of Souls" by melee in Trollbreath #7.

Went rowing today. Was lovely. Taught a poetry class today. Was exquisite. Ate fresh fruit and pizza and pastries and Chipotle. Was greedy. Such a gorgeous Saturday.

Bruh. The skill, the storytelling...I was trapped, hooked, and enthralled. Damn this was good. But @catvalente.bsky.social I need Jolene's story something terrible. I'll be thinking about her for a long time coming.

I absolutely loved the opportunity to write this story (and a micro-essay!). It couldn't be in a better publication. Crepuscular gives fantastic micro fiction for the busy speculative reader and I'm here for it. Happy Juneteenth, yall.
