If you somehow haven’t read Hey You Assholes yet, now’s as good a time as any

"Hey You Assholes" has broken containment

Biblioracle: Kyle Seibel’s collection of short stories is full of humor and humanity Kyle Seibel writes about the overlooked, somewhat downtrodden, but not wholly defeated members of society.

Kyle Seibel is working in the tradition of writers like George Saunders, Etgar Keret, Arthur Bradford and the late Gabe Hudson, other writers who deploy irony and a jaundiced eye in the service of dark, but not pitch black, humor, writes the Biblioracle.

This is what I've been trying to tell you people

hm yes i agree

First Blood, by Kyle Seibel "Did I fall in love with her? I did. As much as that was worth back then. Not much I don’t think... That summer I had so much love that it drove the price to historic lows."

this @kylerseibel.bsky.social story was one of the first few I pubbed on short story, long. it's such a banger.

look at this semi insane thing someone said about my writing

i… don’t know how to feel about this? cautiously taking it as a compliment?

I read a bunch of short stories this year and Hey You Assholes was my favorite.

phil is the case against not meeting your heroes. a fundamentally decent human being, which i’ve found out, is quite rare among successful writers

fuck yes!

God: Hello, Joseph, trouble?

Joseph: Looks like we'll have to send someone down. A lot of people are asking for help for a man named George Bailey.

God: George Bailey? Oh shit! Fuck! Yes, tonight's his crucial night. You bet your fucking ass we'll have to send someone down
