Craig Renfroe is another old classmate from the UNC-Wilmington’s MFA program who’s doing some interesting stuff.
You might know Craig as the man who looks likes something like this:
(That’s a terrible joke; he actually looks a lot better than that.)
But check out some of his writing. He’s the author of the short story collection YOU SHOULD GET THAT LOOKED AT (Main Street Rag Publishing Company). He was a finalist for the Novello Literary Award and the Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. His work has appeared in Puerto del Sol, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Pank, Hobart, and 3:AM Magazine, among others.
Just now he’s working on a collection of linked stories, set in the fictional town of Sumerville, NC. You can read one of the stories in the pulp issue of Pank:
