When the dog makes the heist. When life gives you a chance to make a connection after all these years. One swing of the machete solves all your problems . . . and maybe makes some new ones. Best eaten cold? Small-town revenge stays hot for years. All this and more in Issue 15 of Rock and a Hard Place. We're at it again, with stories that shine the spotlight on the desperate, the down-on-their-luck, and the dangerous and depraved. The only question is, do you dare? Fiction and essays by: Colin Adams-Toomey, Brandon Barrows, Travis Wade Beaty. Christina Boufis, Colin Brightwell, Zack Budryk, Gabriel Hart, Philip Kimbrough, Sally Milliken, Joshua Murray, Kirstyn Petras, Emilee Prado, M.E. Proctor, Tim P. Walker, and Richard Zaric. Rock and a Hard Place is the literary magazine that knows that when your back is against the wall, there are still no guarantees against back-stabbing.
