KN Magazine: Short Stories
Sisters
Set in an Italian immigrant household in 1920s Newark, “Sisters” explores the volatile bond between two adolescent sisters shaped by beauty, jealousy, longing, and survival. As desire, shame, and power collide during a single summer day, the family’s fragile equilibrium fractures, revealing how love and rivalry can turn irrevocably destructive within the confines of tradition, patriarchy, and poverty.
Oh, Susanna
When a long-lost accomplice strolls back into town, elderly Susanna finally gets her chance at revenge. But in this darkly funny, sharply drawn tale of aging, resentment, and poetic justice, nothing is quite what it seems—and Susanna’s methods are far older, quieter, and deadlier than anyone guesses.
Loretta Wakes Up
In Loretta Wakes Up, Molly Wilcox delivers a raw, redemptive story about a mother haunted by her past and a daughter who turned pain into art. Set against the shimmering backdrop of early 2000s Los Angeles, this haunting excerpt from Wilcox’s upcoming novel Off the Record explores guilt, love, and the thin line between redemption and ruin.
