Writer's Hotel Reading at the KGB Bar!
​I will be reading at the KGB Bar in Manhattan upstairs in the Red Room on Friday, June 8, from 7-9 PM. If you're around you, come out and see me and all the other writers! It's free and open to the public.
Here are some of the things that we at Sacred Chickens believe you should spend your time reading this weekend.
Julie chose a short story collection that features a small town haunted, both by ghosts and by its racist past. Given the current climate, it tends to feel less like we're haunted by racism and more like it never died in the first place.
Morty recommends a movie that shines a light on poverty in a county near disneyland, a sad juxtaposition that shows the happiest place on earth with a lot of unseen sadness.
A Writing Contest with No Entry Fees? Uncle Morty says Why Not!
What is Your Uncle Morty celebrating? The fact that people are starting to submit to the first annual Sacred Chickens Writing Contest.
There are no entry fees. Submissions are blind. We don't hold copyrights.
Uncle Morty can't read the submissions until the contest ends, but he's already getting excited. We can't decide whether to take his brandy away or put valium in it.
​During the hectic week of final exams, it's always nice to have a distraction, which is exactly why I picked this book up. It's an all-engrossing, fast-paced urban fantasy that contains: a zombie panda, witches, werewolves, a dragon-cat, an evil necromancer AND feisty ghosts. This particular ghost also happens to love waffles, but who can blame them? And, while I really enjoyed the book, there is just no way to sum all that up in a succinct sentence. It also may seem like a lot of things going on at once in a rather average-sized book, but somehow it all works, and makes sense within the story.
