The August 2020 Issue of Flash Fiction Online. Fantasy, science fiction, horror, and literary short fiction for the modern reader.
This month’s stories are teeming with characters that struck us as that kind of gritty. There’s that guy who’s a couple of decades older than all the other kids seeking adventure in the wilds of Alaska, or the demi-god who lives in a top-floor hole-in-the-wall apartment, or the berobed slightly-nuts classic car aficionado.
They may not be likeable, but they’re certainly lovable, and completely unforgettable.
Grit. That’s what it is. True Grit.
In this month’s issue:
”Alfonso” by Sam Dunnington
”Oracles of Chestnut St.” by Dayla Haynes
”Godomatic” by Nancy Moir
”August” by Katie Piper
And a new writing column from Jason S. Ridler.
