“Barry Graham’s stories are little cries for help from way in the corners and deep in the cracks of contemporary fiction,” says Jeff Parker, author of Ovenman. Who among those who’ve read “DICKEY DEW,” “BLACKHORSE,” or any of Barry’s other stories on Fictionaut would disagree?
Another Sky Press just released Barry’s debut collection The National Virginity Pledge: Short Stories and Other Lies, which you can order from Amazon or directly from the publisher. Barry is a four-time National Tic Tac Toe Association champion and fiction editor of Dogzplot.

If there were two of me I’d assign half of me to chant ‘BEH’ and other half to respond ‘REE’. I’d make them do this all day long.

OMG, so sorry I didn’t see this comment sooner (sometimes I get emails about them, sometimes I don’t.) Wouldn’t want to leave people unable to find a site as essential as Girls Hunting Girls. I fixed it.
