We Are All Having Fun Here by Meg Mullins

$20.00

Fork Apple Press is honored to publish Meg Mullins’ We Are All Having Fun Here as the winner of The Slice Short Story Collection Contest (2025).

We Are All Having Fun Here startles and soothes, inviting secrets and shadows out into the light and dazzling us with their complexity, humor, and tenderness. In beautifully crystallized prose, Meg Mullins dares her characters to the edges, asking us to stare right into the face of taboo. Without fear or judgement, each story unlocks a door to something hidden, toeing the line between discomfort and relatability. Explorations of kink, girlhood, grief, and intimacy find space on the page to push against assumptions and break boundaries. This collection brings clarity to what is so often obscured, inviting us to empathize with the unfathomable.

“Feral, transgressive, and heat-seeking, the girls and women in this dazzling collection seethe with life, wanting what they can’t have and getting what they never asked for.”
