Sharing this story I reread every year. A must read in the “tick lit” cannon. Sad Christmas theme but funny too. Immaculate vibes www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

In 'Chicano Frankenstein,' the undead are the new underpaid labor force. Listen to my interview on NPR's Code Switch where B.A. Parker and I discuss my latest novel which is even more relevant after the 2024 election. www.npr.org/2024/05/08/1... #horror #scifi #immigration #NPR #Frankenstein

So, I got starter-pack FOMO and decided to make one for writing people who know stuff and pass it on through courses, workshops, newsletters etc. It includes all the savants who teach me stuff. I've probably missed people but these were the ones who sprung to my head. go.bsky.app/K7ftxtv

"Every good story is really two stories. A famous author said this but did not specify whether both of the stories had to be good to make the story on the whole good" Oh, wow! This #FlashFiction from @stephanieyu.bsky.social is sparkling on so many different levels. Rich, complex writing 🙌
