Body Lines: Volume I, Winter 2025

$19.00

Welcome to the debut volume of Body Lines, a contemporary journal of new long fiction. This companion series to Subtle Body Press’s well received short fiction anthology series Body Shots showcases powerful and unique voices writing in the medium of the novella.

As with Body Shots, there are no limits to form or genre in Body Lines, only a commitment to bringing you new, emerging, and established writers operating at the top of their craft.

FEATURING:

In Max Halper’s psychosexual bildungsroman That Foul Revolt, college Freshman Ashley Fadden and her boyfriend Isaac embark on a trip to Amsterdam. While there, Ashley sets out to exact revenge for her best friend Jennifer’s murder—one man at a time.

Meanwhile, Kent Kosack gives us Adar’s Freedom, an epistolary tale composed of journal entries, notes, and transcript fragments, in which an unnamed narrator documents his brilliant friend Adar’s obsession with an elusive dream that will prove either to be Adar’s salvation or undoing.

And Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee John R.C. Potter takes us back to the days of the Great Depression in The General Store at Four Corners, where a young rambler’s arrival sets in motion a chain of events igniting smoldered passions and dredging up buried secrets that threaten to upend the lives of the Burnbridges family forever.
