Review of Shantell Powell, “The Qalupalik,” Flash Fiction Online 138 (March 2025): 18-21 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
Content note: child endangerment.
This story took a sharp, unexpected, violent turn right at the end — and it needed it, because otherwise the set-up felt all too familiar and almost too often told. I appreciated having things turned on their head!
