“Sisyphus, Bound” by David Stevens is such a banger. Experimental fiction that almost actively resists being read. God bless ergot. for being out there publishing the really unappealing stuff most other places wouldn’t touch with a barge pole.

I too am grateful to ergot. Also grateful to Jonny Pickering of Seize the Press magazine for reading this story and taking the time to comment.
