  • A new month means a new featured story, and I’m pleased to announce that the month of May will be featuring another great selection from last year’s World Unknown Review. May tends to bring a lot of rain to the Chicago area, and, since Chicago was basically built on a swampy mudflat, that means a…

  • There’s something particularly nice about when a new week falls on a new month. I can’t believe it’s May! But the calendar insists it’s true, so I’ll roll with it. April was a blur, but so was March, so I’m just going to assume that’s what it’s all going to be like from here on…

  • 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…

  • I’m getting this post out quite a bit later than usual, all due to recovering from my semi-big C2E2 weekend. I know I say this every year and have yet to do it, but next year, I definitely have to get a booth. I had a really great time, even though I guess my cosplays…

  • You know, I have the worst time trying to think of ways to start these posts. It’s probably not nearly as tedious as my brain makes it to be if I were to simply say, “Oh, hey, look, it’s Monday again!” or “I can’t believe how quickly [insert month here] is going!” Those seem to…

  • 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…

  • Monday Morning Reset.

    Here I sit, doing my Monday Morning Reset, on a Monday that I actually have off. When I started this little weekly evaluation and refresh, I was regularly having Mondays off, so it just made sense, because I had the whole day ahead of me to wrangle some stuff into order and get my shit…

  • Today, we say good-bye to Adam L. Bealby’s delightfully brilliant “A Comedy of Edwards,” but don’t worry. You can still enjoy it in World Unknown Review Volume III, and, besides, that just means we get a new story to tide us over through March. Also featured in WUR Vol. III, “To Catch a President” is…

  • 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…
