The Space of Being the Bad Object by Sarah Blake My monster fits in my pocket, but when we’re relaxing in the evening, watching TV, he sleeps on my chest. I like police procedurals where they catch murderers. (I like the American ones especially.…

I have a new (very) short story out at Lost Balloon! It’s about a monster who lives in a woman’s pocket and quotes Alexander Pope to her. My son informed me that I’ve written a Pokémon story—I never realized Pokémon was for pocket-monster!

Cinderella's Stepsister Speaks of Love In the night, in whispers, my mother told me that love was not always the most important thing. But when I was young, I didn't believe her.
