David Beaty holds the record for the most Disquiet programs attended in a row – all of them! You may remember “Toad” from 2019’s fiction workshop with Camille Bordas –  and even if you don’t, you can read it now in Green Mountains Review.

2018 alum Anna Catalano‘s story “Lazarus”  can be found in the Spring 2020 issue of Planet Scumm – an energetic and extremely readable triannual magazine of short science fiction with a hilarious editorial voice. Check them out at planetscumm.space!

Vanessa Chan was shortlisted for the Disquiet Prize in 2019. Her story “Coronation” can be found in Porter House Review, a great-looking online journal from Texas State University.

Enjoy!
