New Fiction

85_ym_phantompain_duncan I don’t often (read: ever) venture into the horror genre, as it usually ends up being more crime fiction than anything else. In any event, my latest story, “Phantom Pain,” appears in the April issue of Yellow Mama. Check it out here.

Quotes by Phillip Thompson (?)

“in Chicago was not an easy life for you. But that’s militant, overt racism, maybe because it’s a big city, I don’t know. Here it’s different. It’s generational and it’s not out in public like it used to be. No more colored bathrooms. But private schools that are really nothing more than a way for white people with money to keep their kids away from schools with black kids. Social segregation. It’s part of the fabric of all our lives. White and black.”
― Phillip Thompson, Old Anger
