The Short Story Grind
A Mimetic Sequence - Volume I: Pressure
by C.P. Koch
Once, literature could shake the ground. Now it's softened, streamlined, and forgotten before the cover closes. The Short Story Grind resists that erosion.
Seven stories. All pressure. No padding.
From Depression-era barbershops to ghost-riddled bookshops, from mountain hostels to digital mainframes-these stories haunt the margins of memory and system. Quietly disruptive, structurally subversive, they hold their ground without asking permission.
This isn't a protest. It's a pulse.
The first volume in Koch's Mimetic Sequence, The Short Story Grind sets the tone:
Low-signal. High-pressure. Built to endure.
Perfect for readers of Borges, Carver, Ligotti, and anyone who believes short fiction should still leave bruises.
