Rounding out our 2020 list, Trouble Department will publish Blake Johnson’s novella Prodigal: An American Parable on November 10th. Fans of authors like Stephen Graham Jones, Kyle Minor, and Bennett Sims will enjoy this unsettling, noir-toned journey through American notions of faith and family viewed from a reflex angle. The book will have cover art by Jessica Lawson.
Blake Johnson writes a lot of fiction–sometimes he eats and sleeps, too. His stories have appeared in Brilliant Flash Fiction, Ellipses Zine, Zizzle Literary Magazine, and other outlets. You can often find him hanging out in the Twitterverse under the handle @bjohnsonauthor and can check out his stories on https://bjohnsonauthor.wordpress.com/.
