Want to read some great new body horror? Look no further than Crawling, in which I’m fortunate to have a story!

Crawling into our upcoming anthology is @ARCMitra with her story ‘The Alligator Handbag.’ In “The Alligator Handbag,” fashion student Lex buys the ugliest handbag she’s ever seen from a thrift store in New York City - and lives to regret it.

2008-2009: About 200 agent rejections (and as many unanswered queries). No one will publish my stories. 2022-2023: Stoker, Edgar, Locus, Reading the West, and Anthony nominations. I mean it every time I say it: Don’t quit. Never settle. Don’t stop. Never give up. Keep at it.
