Good Dirt I was published in Corvus Review Issue 20 Spring/Summer 2023 on July 2nd. My story starts on page 63.
July 2nd was also my mom’s birthday and this story is dedicated to her and hopefully has a little of her magic.
Good Dirt II appeared in Molotov Cocktail’s Flash Feast Contest, coming in fifth. II is a weird horror companion piece.
Good Dirt was inspired by my paternal grandmother declaring that my parents needed good dirt trucked in.

My story Good Dirt II was published in Molotov Cocktail’s Flash Feast Contest. I got #5 out of 10!
A little taste
“I don’t know what I was before I was born into slow flesh, flawed and corrupting, but I know I will find the answers grubbing in the dirt”
My other submission Good Dirt I got a close-but-no-cigar shortlist shout-outs! Pretty cool and it eggs me on because sometimes writing is a lonely pursuit and you get covered in dirt.
Very excited that Good Dirt II will be included in a future Molotov Cocktail’s Prize Winners Anthology print issue.
Please sink your teeth into the entire Flash Feast issue!
And congrats to all the winners!
PS: a friend of mine said that this story “treads the fertile uncertain line between horror and sci-fi”. So I feel cool now
