Review + Sub Frenzy
Jan. 19th, 2008 | 10:23 am
Recently ran across a review of Murky Depths #2, over at The Fix. This is what Michele Lee had to say about my contribution:
“Duchess Street” by Kurt Kirchmeier is the first fiction piece in the second issue of Murky Depths. A dark ghost tale told from the point of view of Jennifer, a streetwalker who was killed by her pimp and now seems set to witness another streetwalker’s death. But this time, she’s more empowered to help the victim—in a way that breaks from the ghostly tradition and yet also comments upon it. “Duchess Street” is a human story at its core and a dark one that sets the mood for the rest of the issue.
Not glowing, by any means, but I'll take it. :)
I went a little sub crazy through Thursday and Friday (following several days spent in revision hell), sending out seven stories (5 original, 2 reprints) for a total of 25900 words. Still have one more original to send out, but at 13000 words, it's probably going to be a real bitch to place.
