Writing with a serrated edge. Like the rock and roll garage bands of the 1960’s and 1970's (as well as the modified versions that showed up in the 1980’s) – straight ahead story telling with a purpose. www.literarygarage.com
Every story has another story behind it. This week’s Side B turns to @tuskmor.com ‘s “Detox Mansion”—a story inspired by Warren Zevon’s song of the same name, but built inside its own strange, darkly comic world (& why the funniest rooms have the darkest doors): open.substack.com/pub/michaeld...

Since Anthrocon is getting underway here in Pittsburgh, I would encoursge you to enjoy my recent crime story over at Literary Garage. I'll leave you to discover the connection on your own.
Literary GarageThe hero of today's story isn't a criminal...it's a Toyota Camry. GETAWAY by @fugitivecourier.bsky.social begins with a dispensary robbery gone wrong & somehow gets more chaotic from there. Fast, funny & packed with bad decisions—the way Warren Zevon would have wanted it. literarygarage.com/getaway
For months you've heard us talk about Bad Intentions. The stories. The cover. The writers. Warren Zevon. Crime fiction. More Warren Zevon. But there's one question we haven't really answered: Why are we doing this? The answer is Philabundance. open.substack.com/pub/michaeld...

Thrilled that my story “Stay With Me” has been published by @literarygarage.bsky.social! If you like classic noir with a twist, and endings that keep you thinking long after reading, this one’s for you.
Literary GarageNext up is "Stay With Me" by @kristenhallam.bsky.social - a gripping blend of noir, mystery & the supernatural. A dying man collapses in her arms. Days later, she can't stop drawing his face. Each sketch changes slightly. Each one reveals something new. literarygarage.com/stay-with-me
