Tragedy Queens – And All the World Drops Dead

I have a new story out in Leza Cantoral’s anthology, Tragedy Queens: Stories Inspired by Lana Del Rey & Sylvia Plath.

My story is called “And All the World Drops Dead” and it was very much inspired by both Plath’s “Mad Girl’s Love Song” and Del Rey’s “Ultraviolence”. I had a lot of fun writing the story. It’s basically a weird, road-trip drug-high about a transgender woman with a gun and her new lover fleeing from the lover’s husband, who happens to be cursed with immortality. He’s also an asshole. I’m considering maybe expanding it into a full-length novel. There is definitely something more there, waiting to be unearthed…
