Black Lawrence Press is publishing my chapbook of six short tales,

I hope you'll give this little collection a look and get a copy for
yourself and/or as a gift for the person in your life who loves to read.
You can order the book
here, which will be giving
future you a gift when it arrives via post later this month.
And here are some awfully kinds words about the book:
These stories are like tiny portholes into worlds teeming with rich, surprising life. Blake Kimzey is a master miniaturist. —
Ramona Ausubel, author of
No One is Here Except All of Us and
A Guide to Being Born
Each of the stories in Blake Kimzey’s astonishing
chapbook Families Among Us are intricate, beautifully written universes
unto themselves. These stories blur the lines between what is real and
what is possible yet they are also intimate and familiar because they
are stories about people and connection and the very human desire to be a
part of something greater than ourselves. —
Roxane Gay, Author of
An Untamed State and
Bad Feminist
Blake Kimzey has given us all the pleasures our imagination can bear,
six stories to savor slowly, to break our hearts and then mend them. I wanted more of these good things.

Kyle Minor, author of
Praying Drunk and
In the Devil's Territory
In Families Among Us, Blake Kimzey’s inventive prose
summons six weird worlds of the imagination—but more than anything else,
these imagined worlds conjure not some other space but the forgotten
weirdness of the world we know, revealed here in all its wondrous
everyday magic. —
Matt Bell, author of
In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods
