Read as part of my 2025 Tor reactormag.com short story reading challenge
This story is available;e for free here
Mags growls. “Nothing wrong with vampires,” they say. “But there’s plenty wrong with abusive pieces of shit.”
I fall almost directly in the middle of Gen-X, so I was not on Tumblr in 2012. I'm not even sure I knew what Tumbler was at that time. That did not make this short story any less powerful. The scenes were gritty and stark. You could feel the hopelessness and confusion the characters felt.
This might be the best thing I have read this year. I'm giving this one all the stars.
