Above it All’, a psychological horror story from @robertjsawyer.bsky.social was first published in 1996. Now, nearly 30 years later, it reads like historical fiction.

This is the first short story of mine ever published. It was written long before Allaigna's Song, but polished considerably before publication in the Autumn 2016 issue of @pulpliterature.bsky.social. Here's a pic of the two masks that inspired the story.

This story was a no-brainer to accept for publication when it crossed our desk nearly ten years ago. So fresh, and so different -- exactly what we're always on the lookout for. 'The Naked Woman' by Theric Jepson, Issue 6, Spring 2016 Read an excerpt here: pulpliterature.com/throwback-th...
