The Interstitial Arts Foundation Online Story Annex

Yesterday, the Ides of September, heralded the beginning of something wonderful and strange: an online showcasing of interstitial writings. You see, Delia Sherman and Christopher Barzak received so many remarkable submissions for Interfictions 2 that they simply couldn't whittle their selections down to only the number of pieces that would fit into the book. And so, in a truly interstitial move, they decided to bleed past the borders of bound paper and publication limitations into the world of digital press. What that means for us is another entryway into the world of interstitial art via a smorgasbord of liminal hors d'oeuvres.

Behold: the Interstitial Arts Foundation's Online Story Annex!

Sept. 15: Genevieve Valentine, “To Set Before the King”
Sept. 22: F. Brett Cox, “Nylon Seam”
Sept. 29: Kelly Barnhill, “Four Very True Tales”
Oct. 6: Ronald Pasquariello, “The Chipper Dialogues”
Oct. 13: March Rich, “Stonefield”
Oct. 20: Kelly Cogswell, “For the Love of Carrots”
Oct. 27: Chris Kammerud, “Some Things About Love, Magic, and Hair”
Nov. 3: Eilis O’Neal, “Quiz”

It is uniquely appropriate that we begin our annex with such a literal and literary feast as Genevieve Valentine's "To Set Before the King." Her deft interweaving of fairy tale tropes with practical cooking techniques will send a shiver down your spine and redistribute your perceptions of archetype and fortune.
