13 - Short Stories with Nick Mamatas

This week, Nick Mamatas (@nmamatas) joins me to talk about short stories - the appeal of the format and some strengths and weaknesses.

Stories discussed (all three are freely available & quick reads)

• The Red Tower (Thomas Ligotti) in Weird Fiction Review
• If You Were A Dinosaur, My Love (Rachel Swirsky) in Apex Magazine
• We Never Sleep (Nick Mamatas) in The Mammoth Book of Dieselpunk

Freytag Triangle

Nick's final recommendation is The Masonic Dream Engine (Thom Metzger) in Flurb

The amazing art which inspired me to actually get this project off the ground was created by @etrandem
