Revised Payhip Description

Crisp, dark, and deeply flavorful. Welcome to a collection of fiction with a definite Southern accent.

Ten-Piece Bucket of Southern Fried Fiction with Fixings is a sharp-witted compilation of flash fiction that digs deep into the roots of human relationships. Spanning the spectrum from Southern Gothic to wistfully romantic and cannily satirical, these ten brief stories explore the moments that change us forever—proving that down South, life is always a little more complicated, a little more magical, and a lot more intense than it appears on the surface.

Pull up a chair and dive into the bucket:

• Quantum Physics: A mind-bending glimpse into the cosmic truth that it’s always the exact same stuff—just a completely different universe.
• Storm Front: They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but it turns out vengeance can also be incredibly slippery when wet.
