Rumpus blogger P.E. Garcia has a chapbook out from Awst Press. The title of the chapbook, US vs. Approximately 64,695 Pounds of Shark Fins, takes it’s inspiration from a court case concerning civil forfeiture in admiralty law.
Tatiana Ryckman writes that Garcia’s writing, “…is magical and tragic, full of a precise whimsy that cuts—cuts deep and cuts away and cuts free. He’s a sort of MacGyver of story, using tools none of us would have known to look for to make something new and fantastic.” At The Offing, Feliks Garcia writes of the chapbook: “Indeed, the stories in this collection are as unsettling as they are hilarious, as whimsical as they are raw, as unbelievable as they are real.”
