Figured I would share my favourite short story that I had published this year.
'In The Forest, Among The Bones' is my fucked up queer horror-esque piece published in Tales From Coenydd, a zine I was also lead editor for.
Check it out here: meridianaustralis.au/product/tale...

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin
