“The Alligator King” on Okey-Panky at Electric Literature

“Alligators, they say, creep right through her living room, and possums suckle litters on her velvet couch. Birds nest in her moss-festooned chandeliers. Open any closet and moths spew out.” This is the first sentence of a round-robin story concocted and performed before a terrified audience at Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe by a crew of Shared Worlds writers and editors, including Ann VanderMeer, Jeff VanderMeer, Leah Thomas, Thomas Olde Heuvelt, Nathan Ballingrud, Terra Elan McVoy, Tobias Buckell and me. Electric Literature’s Okey-Panky was brave enough not only to publish a transcript of “Aunt Francine and the Alligator King,” but also to feature a video of us spewing gibberish. Illustrations by Jeremy Zerfoss.
