A picture of a bloody bath mat, with the caption, “bath mat that turns red when wet”, has been burning up Pinterest. This is fiction. While it might be cool to have a bath mat which turned blood-red when stepped on with your wet bare feet, this product does not exist. The rug pictured is […]
There’s a new chapbook by a very good friend of mine and a truly brilliant writer, Loren Rhoads. Loren is the woman behind the gone but never forgotten Morbid Curiosity magazine, a hugely influential nonfiction zine about first-person experience. Her fiction is equally cool, so I’m really looking forward to checking this out! Sex. Drugs. […]
