100 Short Stories: Stories 11-15
Feb. 10th, 2019 09:32 pmThis time I bought a literary magazine, FIYAH Issue #9
I tend to have mixed feelings on literary magazines because they're always like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. My feelings on this one are more positive than not because it ended on a high note with "The Rat King of Spanish Harlem." Heyward-Rotimi's story is also a fun read, and I'm not just saying that because I know him personally. This probably says more about my taste than anything, though. I'd consider getting the next one.
What's interesting about this magazine is that there's a playlist to go along with it. I didn't listen to it before I read but am now. Playlists are kind of a guilty pleasure for me and I'm always looking for new stuff, so I'm appreciative of that, too, haha.
