KN Magazine: Short Stories
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.
Accidents Will Happen
When three suburban widows discover freedom—and perhaps satisfaction—in a series of “accidental” deaths, dark humor meets moral ambiguity in Ken Pisani’s Accidents Will Happen. A sharply written tale of revenge, friendship, and fate where every accident might just be planned.
Cerulean
When Deacon learns that a Category 5 hurricane is headed straight for his father’s home on Maynard Key, he races into the storm to save him. But what he finds in the old house is far more haunting than the weather outside—a mysterious blue spark, a father’s grief, and the ghostly presence of a mother long gone. Cerulean is a story about loss, love, and the fragile space between the living and the dead.
Peacock PI
When slacker-turned-secret-shopper Rich lands a job evaluating local businesses for a shady car dealer, he never expects to fall for a Praise Team singer with a grudge—and a hidden agenda. A comic noir set in small-town America, Peacock PI blends romance, deception, and undercover antics into a sharply told tale about ambition, identity, and getting played.
