Electric Literature
Electric Literature is my new favorite literary journal. I subscribed because they featured a Jim Shepard short story in their first issue. Now I’m hooked on all things Electric —blog, stories, videos, events etc.!
Sure, you can get it in print; but why waste the paper (and this is coming from a physical book lover) when you can subscribe to receive each issue as a PDF, on your iPhone (and probably other smart phones) and Kindle type device.
I appreciate their videos, not only because they are lovely, but also because it’s an innovative way to promote short stories.
Here’s a video preview of Jim Shepard’s short story, Your Fate Hurtles Down at You:
* If you haven’t read Jim Shepard, do so immediately. He is a brilliant writer and his latest collection is called Like You’d Understand, Anyway.
