Would love to see you there!

I've wanted to start this community for a while. I feel a lack of original writing on Lemmy. Poetry tends to be short form and more accessible to many.
I intend to post my own writings, including some of my most personal stuff; writings not a single soul has seen. I would love to have you all join in, as lurkers, as posters, as poets, as enthusiasts. I look forward to seeing this community grow!
OK this was the last one. Had to post a few for Halloween, sorry for the dump. No other day defines an entire genre so I couldn't let this opportunity go.
I've posted some more iconic of his works already. This deserves to be here too.
Perhaps the most iconic of his works
There's 3 ghost stories there, but the signal man in specific is what I wanted to highlight.
The human condition can be summed up in a drop of blood. Show me a teaspoon of blood and I will reveal to thee the ineffable nature of the cosmos, naked and squirming. Squirming. Funny how the truth always seems to do that when you shine a light on it.
Well, its also diwali
Fiction, from 1994: “The idea of creating a zombie for my own purposes came to me in a brainstorm five years ago.”

Joy nearly got lost on the root-knotted red dirt path off of Highway 99, losing sight of the gaps between the live oaks and Spanish moss that fanned across her hood and windows like fingertips. Driving back to her family’s cabin twenty years later reminded her that the woods had rarely been restful ...
Do the woods do it for you? Well then this is for you

I don't wanna spoil this. So I won't say why I like it, but you won't regret reading this.
How do you folks feel about links to the genius website. I feel weird linking it but it's decent imo.

Otherwise you can read it from the link by bypassing the paywall using the extension, bypass paywalls clean d.
Good luck! And I do strongly suggest getting the extension anyways. Even if you intend to download the book for this story.
Fiction by Haruki Murakami: “Each time they had sex, she told Habara a strange and gripping story afterward.”
Its ..... You've gotta read this folks, I don't know how else to put this.
If you liked Norwegian Wood, you'll love this. Honestly I like most of his work and think this is worth reading anyways but perhaps I'm a bit biased.
“I wanted to find out why a beautiful girl like her would want to go out with a weird character like Kitaru.”

This Web site is dedicated to the wonderful world of the short story and to all who enjoy reading shorts stories as I do. I will try to add a few short stories every month.
One of the greatest stories I've ever read. If you love a psychoanalytical story or supernatural fiction, give it a go!
I cannot recommend this enough. Magical realism is one of my favourite genres and ggm is perhaps the best writer of the genre ever
