Interviews

  • We’re a bit late in the month for this (I feel like I’ve said that a lot this year…oh well!), but I am very pleased to have had the chance to finally “sit down” with July’s featured author, Max D. Stanton, author of this month’s Featured Story from the World Unknown Review Volume III, “The…

  • Confession time: I have never really been a poet. I took poetry classes in school because it was a part of my requirements for my major, but I never really felt I could write a good poem to save my life. I was always a novelist, dedicated to my long form and my epic storytelling…

  • The last few days here in Chicago have been really hot and humid, finally with a cool down with a fantastic thunderstorm last night, but that kind of muggy weather is just the thing to turn my mind toward this month’s Featured Story, “The Scrimshawed Ostrich Egg,” from author Robert Allen Lupton. It’s been a…

  • We’re quickly approaching the end of the month of April (how in the world does it seem to go by so fast?), which means we’re overdue to sit down and have an interview with this month’s featured author, Sarah Gribble. Her story, “Lullaby Land,” is a short, bittersweet look at loss and grieving, bringing a…

  • It’s a little late in the month, so you’ve only got about one more week to read James Wylder’s thrilling space adventure story, “To Catch a President,” for free as our Featured Story for March, but it will be (pretty much) forever available in the World Unknown Review Volume III. After a bit of a…

  • February is much, much too short. It’s hard to believe that it’s almost done and over with, which means there’s only about a week left to enjoy the first featured story from 2016’s World Unknown Review, “A Comedy of Edwards.” Then it’s onto the next great story, but, until then, I’d love to present this…

  • I’ve made no secret about my fondness for “Selective Memory,” this month’s Featured Story from Volume II of the World Unknown Review, and I’ve equally enjoyed my interactions with its author, Adam L. Bealby. So I was naturally excited to get around to interviewing him for the feature and getting inside his quirky little brain…

  • The fact that Shawn Proctor’s short story, “The Courier,” featured in last year’s World Unknown Review, is set in a college makes me wonder if the fates created a delay in my interviews just so that the timing would work out that it would be September’s Featured Story. Whether it was destiny or not, you…

  • After a very long two months, I have finally had the chance to conduct my well-overdue interview with the very patient Helen Mihajlovic, whose story in last year’s World Unknown Review took us back to an old classic in a new way. And here I thought the wait for last interview was bad! Well, here…

  • We are well overdue for an interview with May’s featured WUR author, Shan Jeniah Burton, considering that we’re already into May! Thanks a lot, computer and smelly crew room! We’ll be switching up the featured story soon, but you still have a few more days to read Shan’s story, “Monday Morning Coffee” before the new…
