The Molotov Cocktail Josh Goller

A grotesque god washes ashore in Philip Webb Gregg's "What We Find in the Guts of the Bodies that the River Gives Us." A wolf in sheep's vestments gets paranormal comeuppance in Erin O'Shea's "Moist." A husband is haunted by watery death in Mary Haidri's "Lake Wife." Paranoia swirls and an angry mob swarms in R. A. Matteson's "Story of a Witch." And clouds of moths blot out the Sun in Julia Pike's "Cocoon."

Featuring incendiary flash fiction and poetry from dozens of writers across the globe, this dark and offbeat fourth volume of The Molotov Cocktail focuses on the themes of Monsters, Heroes, Killers, Shadows, and Beasts.
