“The Joke” in Blood Bath Lit Zine
Blood Bath Lit Zine has unleashed their second issue, Demons, on the world, much to my delight! They’ve been teasing content for the past few weeks, tantalizing short stories and poems, which I can’t wait to read, and I’m proud to have my story “The Joke” among them, about a politician in demon-infested D.C.
Right now the print edition is available in limited run, and the ebook will be available soon.
