Ivy Spadille published in FIYAH Magazine!

BSFW is on a roll!!

Ivy Spadille's novelette "The Other Side of Otto Mountain" has been published in issue six of FIYAH magazine!

"The Other Side of Otto Mountain" takes place in a fictitious version of a historically black town in Oklahoma and centers on Lazarus Caruthers, a retired Vietnam veteran. Daily, he seeks solace while fishing on the lake near Otto Mountain until events disrupt his routine.

"For me the story is about retaining a curiosity and openness to aspects of life not always apparent in everyday experience," says Ivy Spadille. "It also looks at how past events, regrets, and fears linger and limit our perspectives. I hope this story echoes that on the individual (character level) as well as on the societal level--in the ways we perceive social ills, and whether or not we choose to address them."
