In Brendan C. Byrne’s stories, the past doesn’t exist, the present is a slow burn, & the future is a vision from hell. With apocalyptic lucidity, he summons a timeline you never agreed to live in—yet somehow do.

I have no idea which social media platform I fit into these days, but over on Substack I’ve been posting fiction new (from this year) and old (as far back as 1996). Join me there for long form stuff if you like (though its algorithm is as weird as any other)
