Short Story Orgy is OUTSIDELEFT’s new thing. Get ready readers, it starts here on Saturday. Where it ends up I just don’t know yet. Short Story Orgy is our new destination for kick-ass short stories. They’re gonna be brief, on point, there’s gonna be grief, they’re gonna hurt like you’ve been the victim of a hit in a pulp-noir masterpiece. This is not arcana. Fuck the meandering narratives, we’re looking to unearth true rough diamonds, we’re looking for a humanscale future of fiction.
Do we have to explain that this isn’t a call out for archetypal lit stock-in-trade hate, violence and misogyny. You’ve got to do better than that.
What we’re building here is an unassailable archive. It’s likely you will not see new entries into our Short Story Orgy canon often. We’re reckoning on the greatest talent. Rare and extraordinary. Is that you? Think you’ve written it? Think again. Maybe you have? We want OL’s readers to see stories that have an immediate and lasting impact from writers who dig shallow and deep. Writers who dare to unlock themselves. Writers we’ll all get to know together.
We’re as excited about this as we have been about anything we’ve done in a while. And at the outset, as always, we are arrogant enough to say we refuse to equivocate. We will know what we want when we see it. We mean it. Short Story Orgy is more than a slogan on a t-shirt or a tea towel(!). Although it might be that too. We’re believers. The most dangerous kind.
The OUTSIDELEFT Short Story Orgy begins on Saturday with 'Going Round The Bend' from a brilliant new UK writer, Kiah Cranston.
