Flash Fiction and Media
Flash FictionFlash fiction is a tough art. Making a story from so few words, but with real impact, takes special skill. Kajsa Wiberg’s flash fiction transforms its protagonist in just 311 words. Gar Lipow’s transformation is even faster, though no less strange, at just 105 words. Finally, Joe Conat provides us with a chilling little vignette with a decidedly sci-fi feel. |
MediaCecilia Chapman and Jeff Crouch provide us with an entirely weird Sideshow at the bottom of Page 5. I’ve watched it a number of times and I’m still not sure what’s transforming. Let’s hope you have your voyeur glasses on. On the bottom right of our Spotlight! on PodCastle is a link to one of their stories, Run of the Fiery Horse by Hilary Moon Murphy. Check out the rather creepy art of Scott Gray, both Terrified, ably illustrating Deborah Grabien’s story Sunrise, on Page 13, and his Wicked Baby on Page 9. I’m not entirely sure what Guardian–a pencil sketch by Jody Gore–is actually about, but it’s certainly interesting. Check it out on Page 16. Don’t miss our mermaid art, the wire sculpture by Reynaldo Molina and the mermaid photo on Page 1. We also have a few other images scattered through the pages. I hope you’ll look for them. Don’t forget to click on the still art and photos to bring up the lightbox. It improves the viewing tremendously. |
