Blood & Bourbon #5

by Phil Halton, Raya Morrison (Editor), Lisa Meffe (Editor)

Blood & Bourbon is a fiercely independent journal run by storytellers, for storytellers. We’re here to celebrate all things hard, gritty, and raw. True or not-so-true, all we care about is a good story. The kind you tell over too many drinks, too late on a worknight, too far down the street on the other side of town. Includes contributions from Norbert Kovacs, Robb White, Sean Murphy, Pip Weytingh, J.D. Smith, J. Lee Strickland, K.B. Holzman, Rachael Peralez, Salvatore Difalco, Yvette Flis, Bill Vernon, Jaap Boekestein, Zach Da Costa, Tony Concannon, Loren Niemi, Chris D’Alessandro, Mike Cochran, Storey Clayton, Adrienne Stevenson, David Romanda, William Rudolph, John Grey, J. J. Steinfeld, Diarmuid ó Maolalaí, Robert Beveridge, Bruce Louis Dodson, Leah Mueller and Roger Camp.
