Salt City Runaway is going into reprint! Hooray! Thank you to every single person who has supported its journey, even the lady who read it and asked if I had been depressed when I wrote it. Especially her because she was engaged & interested & I talked at her for an HOUR.

"Marigrace" by Maxine Rosaler appeared in her collection The Missing Kidney & Other Stories but has never appeared online. It is about friendship, loneliness, and longing. Plus it has awkward NY dinner parties, failed writers, & unforgettable characters. doric-literary.com/2026/08/01/m...

“Isn’t your dad afraid the snakes will take revenge?” Sunday Summertime Reading: "Tongue" by Huina Zheng. It might be about snakes but it's also about isolation and youthful infatuation and making friends in a remote Chinese landscape. doric-literary.com/2026/08/01/t...

Tongue

A small emerald snake swam toward me. It slid across the top of my foot, cool and slick like a wet ribbon. Then it climbed my calf, curling around it like a vine around a stick.

"Marigrace" was first published in her short story collection "The Missing Kidney and other Stories" but this is the first time it will appear online. maxinerosaler.com

In white text on a dark blue background is this quote from Maxine Rosaler's short story, "Marigrace" "I was afraid this wouldn’t bode well for the future of our friendship, and I very much wanted to be friends with Marigrace. I wanted to discover the secret to her chronic happiness and see if I could manage to appropriate some of that happiness for myself."

Here's the trailer I made which is all my own footage, my own terrible editing, and music I wrote and recorded despite not being a musician. Why? Because fuck you AI!
