I have a new piece of short fiction out today in the Charleston City Paper Lit Issue. It’s called “Possum Island,” and you can read it online or pick up a paper if you’re in the area.

I thought it would be fun to make an audio version, so that’s what I did. Enjoy!

If you’re looking for more stuff to listen to, check out the Brutal South podcast on Apple or Spotify or wherever you get podcasts.

If you’re a possum aficionado, you might enjoy this thinkpiece I wrote about possum memes last year with the help of the novelist George Singleton:

That’s all for this week. The possum drawing is by my daughter. The music in the episode is by The Camellias.
