“Eating Our Young” Rises Again!

 

“Eating Our Young” is a grim allegory about the way families can unthinkingly consume their members, told from the perspective of the youngest members of one family. First published in The Speed of Dark, edited by Clayton Bye (2013), it has been published in the current edition of Exile magazine in a selection of works by four authors from the upcoming speculative fiction anthology, The Food of My People. I'm happy to have this story see the light of day again.

You can find Exile magazine wherever Canadian literary journals are sold, or it can be ordered directly from the publisher here.

 

“Mrs. Zaberewsky” Rises Again

 

If you have ever longed to follow your artistic dream, only to have it squelched again and again, you will cheer on Witka, the protagonist of “Mrs. Zaberewsky.”

I was pleased to learn a week or so ago that the story “Mrs. Zaberewsky” was going to be published again, this time in a “Best Of” anthology from the free online speculative fiction magazine, Polar Borealis. Edited by Rhea Rose, it features short stories and poetry, and a fair whack of both; due to the tight word limit fr PB, there was room for more than the usual number of stories for a given anthology.

It features work by Y. M. Pang, Mary Choo, Taral Wayne and Walt Wentz, Lisa Timpf, Michael Donoghue, and many more.
