Brown Hound Press

My weekly read has been the short story @brownhoundpress.bsky.social publishes every Thursday.

Otherwise a whole lot of shorts that I need to edit and polish 😅😂

Story of the Week: In Soramimi Hanarejima's “Minding Yourself” we are dropped into telepathic chaos along with the narrator. As we read, the urgency overtakes us until we become the tandem skydiver of the story’s beautiful last line.

Today on The Stiletto Gang: The inspiration behind my short story, now on @brownhoundpress.bsky.social www.thestilettogang.com/2026/03/02/b... #shortstory

The title says it all for this week’s song pairing: Queen’s “I’m in Love With My Car.” Neighbor Carl has an unhealthy relationship with his automobile. If you spot him lurking in your driveway, you better cover that tailpipe!

Story of the Week: It’s just a coincidence we scheduled @judypenzsheluk.bsky.social's darkly humorous tale about feuding with a rude neighbor and exacting a delicious revenge this week. Not at all related to my own daydreams. I promise!

For Damieka Thomas's "Nepo Baby" I wanted a song with a character who was…let’s say, loveably obnoxious. Hat tip to @gwenda.bsky.social for helping me settle on what I believe is the perfect match in Cardi B’s “Pretty & Petty.”

-Josh Boldt, Editor

Agreed. A good example of how to write a character we like AND hate.

Another great story! I found the main character to be fascinating and disturbing all at once.

Great story and great line (and bang on...same could be said of Elvis!)

Story of the Week is “Nepo Baby” by Damieka Thomas. Check it out at brownhoundpress.com.

I'm really starting to look forward to my weekly short story from @brownhoundpress.bsky.social. Today's story by Damieka Thomas is a well-crafted story of character in very few words. www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/dami... #shortstory

Another twisted gem!
