Almost 15 years later... new Grace Krilanovich! Acid Green Velvet coming next year from @twodollarradio.bsky.social.

I interviewed Grace in 2011 for ChuckPalahniuk dot net. Here she is talking about what I think is Acid Green Velvet: web.archive.org/web/20111101...

Truth!
My (short) short story, The Ballad of Miss Mouse, has been accepted for publication in the forthcoming issue (first one in over a year!) of Whiskey Tit Journal. It's kind of a cross between Looney Tunes and a murder ballad. @whiskeytit.com

So proud of my niece, she’s in the latest episode of The Chair Company!
❤️❤️❤️🪑🪑🪑
I don’t know the name of her character, but she shows up at the very end. Don’t spoil it for me, I haven’t watched it yet!

Yep. This is my publisher. 🐍🚽
Once in awhile very important literature crosses your path and you must look in the mirror and ask: am I going to publish a book about a guy who shits snakes? Yes I am. Yes I am. Very excited for @beardedbetts.bsky.social wtf bizarro body horror novel to come out Jan 2027. 🐍 💩 🧑‍⚕️
