"Over time, I’ve learned how to be more economical without losing the lyricism. The third section was written after years of working on the book, and it reflects that shift." @robfrank__ discusses his debut novel "Great Black Hope" with Cameron Engwell.

Great conversation with @TomBeerBooks for @KirkusReviews ✨
It's easy for a book reviewer to get jaded, so when you come across a really KILLER debut, it's pretty exciting. That's how I felt reading Rob Franklin's GREAT BLACK HOPE. Rob and I spoke about it for @KirkusReviews' Debuts Issue. https://t.co/INbC66yzod

Thrilled to be joining Triangle House as a fiction editor! And to have my story Labyrinth (a “gay gothic” as I’ve been calling it) appear in this latest issue. Looking forward to reading and soliciting fresh fiction for future issues ❤️🔥
@emmelclein In fiction from @robfrank__ , "Labyrinth" has it all: wanting to be a great artist, poppers, finding purpose in a dark room. "Time, impatient with itself, knots the empty hours." https://t.co/02Xgk2Up1W
