    "Heathman Ldg" by Brian Evenson

    "Heathman Ldg" by Brian Evenson, narrated by Wil A splashing fountain in the center court of a mall with fully stocked stores but no shoppers, muzak cheerfully playing for an audience of none. A paper ticket in your hand, in an airport departure lounge that hasn't seen a passenger in fifty years, the board still updating flight information, with whirling letters. The front desk in the empty hotel lobby, an abandoned cigarette burning down in a glass ashtray, static on a black and white TV. .These are Liminal Spaces: familiar, recognizable, but not quite right, and also a little bit wrong, in a way that is just beyond your ability to describe. Fortunately for us, it is not beyond author Brian Evenson's ability to describe. In fact, you may want to look up now and then to remind yourself where you actually are, as we take you out on the road, destination: Heathman Ldg. Original Publication Credit:  “Heathman Ldg” was first published as a limited edition concertina chapbook in Brazil, in English with facing Portuguese translation:  Heathman Ldg (Sao Paolo, Brazil: Raphus Press, 2023). Edition of 88, concertina.  Nearly simultaneously it appeared in English as:  “Heathman Ldg,” Bourbon Penn 32 (2024), 7-22.  To learn more about the author, please visit: https://www.brianevenson.com  It's Storytime was produced in 2025 by Traveler Enterprises, Inc., who holds the copyright.
