Give Us This Day

Through the twining forests where brittle frost crunches like shattered glass and the wind holds still and silent; to the holiday kitchens where strange smells burn, and virulent colors swell from rotting food; into the twilight cities, cold and harsh and wantonly eager for violence-as the days grow shorter, the nights blasphemously deep, and inhibitions weaker, something ancient and starving stirs. This Thanksgiving, make sure to say Grace. Seventeen new, emerging, and established writers come together to spread tales of thanks, family trauma, ritualistic terror, and folken Elder Gods imposing unknowable will. Featuring stories from Sean McDonnell, Douglas Ford, Lucy Zhang, Drew Valdez, Connor Mancuso, Judith Ashcraft, Hamish Kavanagh, A. P. Murphy, Michael Duffy, Saint-Lazare, Aurelian Ashmore, Keith Long, Shawn Brooks, Edward Marlo Ruiz, Lane Blevins, Brody Farrow & Garen Glazier
