040
This is the 40th grant we’re giving out… holy moly. What a way to round out 2023. Thank you Creative Debuts for letting us do this!!!! The 40th recipient of the Creatives Grant is Emily Unwin. Emily shared with us a collection of surrealist horror stories in which her casual grasp of surrealism makes the horror all the more threatening, because it could almost be real. She writes with the exact kind of sharp, bodily, contemporary imagery that we both love and we hope that this grant can buy Emily some time to produce more perfect weirdness we can share in.
