Patrick Thomas Henry

How many of these iconic stories have you read?

These are the books we currently have available for review, with instructions at the top re: how to get in touch if you're interested in reviewing one of them for us.

We may be late into June, but you can still catch my story “Into the Dream City,” which is this month’s featured fiction in @thirteenbridges.bsky.social!

The erasure project of TEEN QUEEN TRAINING, the newest book by Kristine Langley Mahler @suburbanprairie.bsky.social, transforms a 1960s etiquette guide for girls into a crackling, second-person narrative about what teenaged girls in America really experience. Check out my review in @hfr.bsky.social!

Chloe is simply one of the best and most generous folks in the literary community. Please consider helping her family out, if you can!

“Even though it is set in the Pittsburgh of 2009, City of Clans is necessary and timely, fiercely rebutting the voices clamoring for a super-charged restoration of masculine values.” @patrickthomashenry.bsky.social on CITY OF CLANS, out now from University of Iowa Press. pghrev.com/bright-light...
