issue 61

As we close out 2022, Vestal Review is trying to see some light at the end. This issue has fifteen illuminating stories and an author interview:

a hare along for the ride

an oddly happy terminal patient

three women who traffic in flesh

two brothers in front of one screen

what happens in the ER

video gaming that camouflages a lot of things

something caught in the hedge

unsuspected progeny

a dancing dog who gets all the attention

inhabiting a former church

the young taking care of the old

what a husband recalls of his wife

grandfather and grandchild alone in a boat

making it easy or hard

a confession that comes out of nowhere

Q&A with Melissa Llanes Brownlee

As always, we're grateful to our writers, our submitters, our readers, and our staff, a hugely diverse bunch and, as in all magazines, a set of circles with some overlap. We hope everyone enjoys the issue, and we'll see you again in 2023.
