Thanks for the kind words Alexander! Glad you dug the book!!
The titular novella from @jdclappwrites latest collection will kick the snot out of you. It's up there with Larry Brown and Donald Pollock as some of the cleanest and meanest southern grit I've ever read. This is the work of a writer truly hitting his stride.

Big thanks to @litgarage01 for putting this one out there🥃
Then we've got a very cool short from @jdclappwrites - lean, spare dialogue in a 1st person voice that has traces of Daniel Woodrell, Carver and Hemingway in its pacing and details: https://t.co/tFxyfHosPo

Roll into Thursday with this story from @jdclappwrites So much to love about this one – cool first-person voice, dialogue, and the spare, everyday details (has a little bit of a Daniel Woodrell/Raymond Carver feel). Excellent. Read it here: https://t.co/tFxyfHosPo
