Chair, $75 OBO: New Story over at Moss.

Moss. literary magazine recently published my story Chair, $75 OBO in their new issue (Volume 6), and now they've made the story available to read for free online. 

The story is a modern-day ghost story, or in other words, in the genre of my nightly nightmares.

While the story will appear in my next collection of stories, I do not yet have a publisher for it, so no one knows how long you'll have to wait to read it that way--which is all the more reason to read now.
