The Muleskinner Journal
Long journeys. Hard roads. Good times.
The journey is long, and the road is hard, but that’s why we love it.
We publish stories and poems that keep things moving.
We deliver the goods. Right Here. For Free.
Journal Sixteen
Sabotage
So fun to say.
It thumps like a shoe dropped into the gears. It smolders like a slow fuse lit under the floorboards.
Coming soon:
your beautiful wreckage, your quiet detonations, your elaborate ruses, and your betrayals of self.
Listen for the sound of gears grinding, the machinery silenced.
Muleskinner Journal Sixteen is open for submissions until December 15.
Our submission guidelines are here. Do your worst.
