5 Short Stories to Devour This Weekend

We're back with five more short reads for yer weekend, since this week, science proved that reading fiction makes you a badass. Or at least a smartass. Heads up for lit that'll take you through India, cemeteries, the Everglades, and broken relationships:

• At Granta, "I Love This Dirty Town" by Anjum Hasam

• At Juked, "Collateral Damage" by Mary Akers

• At Spork, "The Wild Blue Yonder" by Laura I. Miller

• At PANK, "X Approaching One" by Kendra Fortmeyer

• At Sundog Lit, "Haunting in B Minor" by Brittany Harmon

And if you just can't stop there, check out our recommendations from last week, which include hard-hitters from n+1, Monkeybicycle, a solid longread from Five Chapters, and more. Also, a hearty congrats to the ladies over at Paper Darts, who release their Volume 5 issue today.

Bon weekend.
