A classic short by Susan Pieters. Note that this was still the spring of 2016, and the term 'presidential calm' had meaning. 'Five-Finger Blade', Pulp Literature Issue 10, Spring 2016. Cover art by Britt-Lise Newstead pulpliterature.com/throwback-th...

This is the first short story of mine ever published. It was written long before Allaigna's Song, but polished considerably before publication in the Autumn 2016 issue of @pulpliterature.bsky.social. Here's a pic of the two masks that inspired the story.

This story was a no-brainer to accept for publication when it crossed our desk nearly ten years ago. So fresh, and so different -- exactly what we're always on the lookout for. 'The Naked Woman' by Theric Jepson, Issue 6, Spring 2016 Read an excerpt here: pulpliterature.com/throwback-th...
