It can’t be helped. But to palliate this time around I highly recommend you pick up the Hingston and Olsen Short Story Advent Calendar - actually a box of 25 individually bound stories, beautifully designed and brilliantly edited by the incomparable Natalie Olsen and Michael Hingston respectively. This year’s calendar features new stories by Carmen Maria Machado, Casey Plett, and Ed Park, together with a variety of classic tales and um let’s just say that if you like Every Night… and are looking for more from me this might be the place to go. It’s a dream come true to be part of a project I’ve admired for so long! Order your copy now.
