Wow! Just realized my bookβs nearly 4 years old already!! Which doesnβt sound right because Iβm pretty sure it only came out last year. Buy Deliver Thy Pigs, my earnest little novel about trees and Illinois and slaughterhouses so I can afford to send it to college!

Excerpt from the story "You Deserve This" by Nicholas Claro:
"Beckettβs eyes are deep green. Like his motherβs, a deep jade. It doesnβt happen as often as it used to, but in the initial months after his mother and I separated, there were times Iβd notice a physical feature they shareβprimarily their eyesβand find myself resenting him, resenting the resemblance."
Have you read "You Deserve This" by @nicholas-claro.bsky.social from the latest issue of Variant? Read this story about a powerful moment between a father and son
