Word Double Cross – New Speculative Fiction from The Rumen

My short story Word Double Cross is featured in the new literary ‘Zine The Rumen. Word Double Cross tells the tale of a conceptual private investigator who strays into the concrete only to regret it. The genre is literary fiction wherein noir gets strange. Huge shout-out to the lovely editors at The Rumen, both for publishing my story and for having the chutzpah to found a literary magazine. And speaking of new ‘Zines, get ready for the plug for Hotch Potch. (You know it was coming, right?)
