Rock and a Hard Place, Issue 13 [EPUB ebook] 
Winter 2025

Musical genius brings the pain.

So does the stripper pole when it’s a grandmother-to-be . . .

Can it end well when a church needs a hitman?

’Oprah? You’re giving us Oprah?’ Yeah. Just read it.

In Issue 13, Rock and a Hard Place goes places you’d never expect. Unless you’ve been paying attention, because we always find the noir. Stories by: Mia Altamuro, Raymond J. Brash, Jamie Dibs, Gabriel Hart, Victor Kreuiter, Preston Lang, Eryk Pruitt, Keith Roysdon, Brian Silverman, Gabriela Stiteler, Jim Valenti, and Jane Young.

Rock and a Hard Place is the literary magazine that knows that 13 might be unlucky for some, but if it wasn’t for bad luck, we’d have no luck at all . . .
