We here at the Independent love every piece we run. There are no winners or losers. Having said that, here are October’s winners.
- Poetry Exemplars. Force-of-nature Grace Cavalieri brings her insight and appreciation of verse to our site each month, and readers can’t seem to get enough.
- A review of Nut Country: Right-Wing Dallas and the Birth of the Southern Strategy by Edward H. Miller. C.M. Mayo wrote a smart critique of Miller’s look at the cynical recipe behind today’s GOP. (To Serve Man…It’s a cookbook!)
- A review of And West Is West by Ron Childress. Tara Campbell really loved Childress’ latest novel, and readers really loved learning why.
- A review of In Short Measures: Three Novellas by Michael Ruhlman. Short-story writer Tara Laskowski is no stranger to brief fiction — or to writing insightful reviews of it.
- “13 of the Scariest Stories Ever.” The only thing creepier than the titles on this list was the speed with which said list was tweeted, liked, and otherwise shared. Settle down, people. Settle down.
