The Almost: Gutter Magazine

Read “The Almost” in the latest issue of Gutter, Scotland’s leading literary magazine.

From the issue’s editorial:

“A literary truth: reading gifts us new ways to write, and speak, and read, and live. To engage with the written work of others is to be changed by something intangible but essential: intertextuality. The space between texts is where the magic happens—and Gutter #33 is riddled with texts, and the spaces between…In Kelli Dianne Rule’s ‘The Almost’, the rustling physicality of a smutty romance novel finds echoes in groaning pleather, chugging engines—and say what you will about Kindles, but you cannot conceal a lover’s number on a bookmark within an ePub.”

I love this story and I love this magazine. Buy your copy here.
