Each month, we select somebody for the Creatives Grant. December 2023 is the 40th grant we’re giving out! 40th!!!!! It’s going to writer Emily Unwin 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Emily shared with us a collection of surrealist horror stories in which her casual grasp of surrealism makes the horror all the more threatening, because it could almost be real. She writes with the exact kind of sharp, bodily, contemporary imagery that we both love and we hope that this grant can buy Emily some time to produce more perfect weirdness we can share in. 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
