Author Showcase: Lauren Stone

by Nathaniel Tower

Lauren Stone’s “Dropped” left our staff arguing what it was actually about. Turns out we were all right. Sort of. It’s a brilliant story with a depth that screams Post-Experimentalism.

Excerpt from “Dropped”:

As I sit on the floor of the master bedroom, the beige carpet tickling my feet, I can’t help but wonder what that gargoyle is doing above the door.
