3 devastating new stories are coming at you November 1. The settings are simple: New York pubs, a quiet suburban street, a small Spanish town turned into a movie set - but all 3 stories have dark undersides & surprising twists! @sbfeldman Shannon Hancock @catinitaly

“What is coming, every trauma, every joy, every sorrow, every mundane event, is continually slipping away into its goneness. And in the goneness lies a residual grief.” @MandiraPattnaik interviews writer/artist Koss for a wide-ranging conversation trampset.org/post/macro-mind…

You may not recognize this author or know the Nigerian setting, & the names Nsikan & Effiong might be unfamiliar, but you'll relate to this story since @paul_obong9623 explores universal themes - bureaucracy, aging, identity - & bridges continents. doric-literary.com/2026/10/0…

I first heard the term "background noise" when I was an extra on a film set for Schwarzenegger's "Last Action Hero" in '93. A cold winter night in Times Square. The stuff we do for the movies.
