Weird fiction THE BLUE BUILDING is published by Twin Pies Literary
I’m delighted to have a story published by Twin Pies Literary in their second issue. They said they like weird and unusual stuff, which is what I like sending to people, so this had a chance of working. It was worth taking a shot with this surreal short story about a strange journey. I came up with a random title and started writing, which had never happened before this one. The result is pleasing.
The Blue Building can be read for free right here.
