Stoked to have a story in the new issue of Booth, one of my favorite lit mags out there. They always outdo themselves in the design department. Photos don’t do it justice.

Hope you check out my thriller! NY Times Bestseller Tod Goldberg writes, β€œThe Pinned Butterfly is noir of a higher order. Taut, fast-moving, emotional, and filled with surprises. Johnny Mack is a modern-day Robert Stone and this novel is an essential piece of crime fiction.”

I’d heard of the magazine but only recently learned of Bourjaily’s connection. And then I found the entire set on eBay for not very much.
