โฆ Synopsis
With only a few hundred words at their disposal, the authors find inventive ways to tell their compact tales of mystery, often eschewing ornate whodunit plots for varied storytelling techniques. Christian Hayden's "Exit Interview" features only one side of a phone conversation as the duplicitous protagonist hurtles toward his own demise; Adam Hirsch's "Airport Paperback" is a heavily redacted letter from a prisoner to his beloved Maria; Carmen Maria Machado's "Mary When You Follow Her" is a bravura performance consisting of one long sentence. The tenor of each piece varies from the dreamlike (Laura van den Berg's "Friends") to the deliciously gruesome (Richie Navarez's "Withhold the Dawn").
