Dear Readers, you may remember E.L. Siegelstein ( @ericsiegs ) as the author of 3 of the most spectacularly flappy stories we ever published ("Ghost-Sick Jarvis," "A Bullet for Mr. Sweet," and " The Trump Wedding"). He's also the author of an even more spectacularly flappy novel, LOVEBITES & SUNGUNS, which is now available on Amazon for a real good price.
A few weeks ago I got a DM from the editor of this new zine, whom I'd never met and, aside from a brief personal decline I sent in response to a story he submitted to FLAPPERHOUSE many months ago, had not corresponded with before. His message said some very nice things about FLAPPERHOUSE, and he offered to send me a copy of this zine he started called EXCUSE ME. I finally read it & was delighted to see how it's keeping the spirit of weird, irreverent lit alive-- plus I was surprised & tickled to read a special shout-out in the issue's intro. Anyway if you still miss FLAPPERHOUSE you may want to check out EXCUSE ME. Find them on twitter @MagExcuse
Our managing editor @josephpob gives one last once-over to our Year Five anthology before it flies on 10/31
Our Year Five anthology, containing all four issues from our final year, will fly at last on October 31.
Four years ago today was a very special reading. We launched our 7th issue with a stellar lineup of readers (including the late F. Scott Fitzgerald, our first ever dead writer guest). We also had one of our biggest & best crowds for this one, including a few people seeing us for the first time-- Stephen Langlois, Ron Kolm, and Shawn Frazier-- who'd go on to become beloved members of the Flapperhouse family
Three years ago today, we went back to school with a vengeance & got in trouble with all these fierce writers for our 10th reading
The poster for our very 1st reading, which occurred exactly 5 years ago today
Print copies of our last issue finally arrived to FLAPPERHOUSE HQ, and our managing editor @josephpob is highly delighted. Anyone who is due to receive a copy of this baby from us should have it in their paws within the next week. We apologize for any inconvenience or delayed gratification.
Flappy New Year, everyone!
