But over here at featherproof we never had any anyway, so we're advocating a 'worry-free' policy. All the w...orry you want, free of charge.

First two new mini-books that are sure to amuse and delight, in that order. Marmal is the Sometimesby Tobias Amadon Bengelsdorf is a bizarre riff on fervor and ketchup. While My Imaginary Boyfriend by Ling Ma defines a new sort of wish list.
Pick them both up over at the site now. Read More

You’ve probably heard the news reports that a 5.2 earthquake rippled through Chicago at about 4:30 this morning. Bosh. Those weren’t tectonic tremors you slept through, they were the aftershocks of our new cosmically awesome mini-books’ crash landing. The first, “Keftir the Blind” by Nathaniel Rich, was excerpted from ...his excellent new novel, The Mayor’s Tongue, now out on Riverhead. Riding co-pilot on the mini-meteor is “My Brother” by Lindsay Hunter, an amazing short-short story that’s better than any of those long-long ones.
And speaking of the universe, a few light years away down in Alabama, Sons of the Rapture author Todd Dills and This Will Go Down on Your Permanent Record’s Susannah Felts will both be at the Montevallo Literary Festival, reading as part of the Hot New Birmingham Writing event on Saturday, April 19 at 2pm.
