Willie the Weirdo
Release Date: June 30th, 2022
Willie, by most accounts, is a weirdo: the dead birds, the dead bugs, staring into space for hours. Luckily, there's another weirdo in the house: Grampa, sharing with Willie tales of war, blood, volcanoes, and destruction. In this new short story, Willie finds out if the weird inherit the earth—or something much darker.

Out in paperback on June 30th, 2022, the issue also features stories by Taisia Kitaiskaia, Hernan Diaz, and T.C.
