Genre-bending speculative fiction
Is it fantasy? Horror? Magical realism? Sci-fi? Litfic? It's best not to ask questions.
And Just When They Thought They Got Away With It
So I LOVE the show Cold Case (ilysm Lilly Rush/Scotty Valens). Cold case mystery/thrillers live in that unsettling space where justice failed the first time, and the world moved on as if the truth didn’t matter. These stories, like the show, return to those forgotten crimes years, even decades later, when a detective, journalist, podcaster, or relentless outsider decides to dig deeper. #tacklingunfinishedbusiness #coldcases
Time games and messy frames
Lets time travel!! Into the past or future or alternate realities or even extended lifetimes - wherever it takes us 💫
Do not trust what anyone says. Not even me.
Have you ever read a story and realized some things didn't add up?
Perhaps your narrator has a distorted reality due to trauma or mental illness?
Maybe your narrator omits certain things to paint a different picture?
Possibly your narrator doesn't understand key things, and it leads to varying meanings?
Well, if you enjoy stories like that, you're in luck, because here are some of the best stories with unreliable narrators.
