This month on the Story Works Reading Series, I am pleased to present Chris Hasara reading his short story, “Housekeeping.”

After the story, we chat about writing in the cab of a truck, the Midwestern voice, single-character stories, his writing influences, including Edgar Allen Poe, and much more.

Do you have a short story or essay ready to read? I’d love to see it! www.storyworkspodcast.com/submit
