"There’s a pot of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe going, a window with a view in front of me, and a fat stack of records to choose from."

For the final day of the Moon Up, Past Full blog tour, we feature Eric Shonkwiler in our Meet the Press interview series, where we ask the questions that really matter. Find out his weapon of choice, which lit characters he’d fight and drink with, his favorite historical period, and what makes a perfect writing routine.

Racheline Maltese reviews Suffered from the Night: Queering Stoker's Dracula, edited by Steve Berman and published by Lethe Press, today on ‪‎The Volt.

"I think the importance of location is impossible to overstate—the places *are* the stories. It would be impossible to lift a story and place it elsewhere, for me. It would be an entirely different story."

Eric Shonkwiler is interviewed on Midwestern Gothic for day four of the Moon Up, Past Full book blog tour.

"A bridge arced like a rusted crown over the river
& the river, a minion below it, remembered
all the ways to be blue."

Read Maison deMuth Olson's Luminaire Award Finalist poem, "color & contour," today on #TheSpark.

"He stopped punching me long enough to grab her leg and she dropped, and through the black coming over my eyes, I saw the gray streak of the knife..."

Read an exciting excerpt of Eric Shonkwiler's Moon Up, Past Full over at Sundog Lit today, and see a sample illustration by Christina Collins, for day three of the blog tour!

"Moon Up, Past Full is brushed through with hints of a more personal longing for the innocence of days forever gone. It is quiet, simple moments like these that make Eric Shonkwiler's stories for me. His premises are dark, his characters tragic, but the subtle poignancy that sweeps through his work keeps his tales from being too shocking and therefore glossed over or rushed through. There is no way to read Moon Up, Past Full and not find yourself slipping beneath the surface and into the deeper depths."

"'Winterswim' tells the macabre story of Pastor Sheldon Long and his son, Steven. Sheldon is a man twisted by a brutal childhood and called by the voice of God to save the souls of everyone he can the only way he knows how: by giving them the same communion he’s had (meth), having them accept Jesus, and throwing them in the icy lakes of Wasilla, Alaska."
