“No Smoking on These Premises” at Lowlife Lit Press

April 8, 2025 by Cliff Aliperti

Lowlife LIt Press

I’m back at Lowlife Lit Press with “No Smoking on These Premises,” a quicker (cleaner) read than my previous story over there, “Spin Cycle.” I am thrilled to see this new lit site continues to be busy, updating with new stories, poems, and more, multiple times per day throughout the week.

“Obedience Training” in Spring Into SciFi: 2025 Edition

March 31, 2025 by Cliff Aliperti

Obedience Training in Spring Into SciFi 2025

Okay, I’m […]

“Iced Tea” at Humankind Zine

December 18, 2024 by Cliff Aliperti

Humankind Zine

To close out 2024, I had a flash fiction piece appear in Issue #5 of Humankind Zine, Tasting Memories. You can read “Iced Tea” in full from this page—just scroll down to the flip-book edition of the magazine and page through to page 8 (and enlarge!). Beautiful design! This one is just a page long, […]

“Fifty-three” at The Rye Whiskey Review

November 29, 2024 by Cliff Aliperti

The Rye Whiskey Review

My story “Fifty-three” appears on The Rye Whiskey Review, November 29, 2024. It’s free to read over there, but here’s the very open if you want a quick taste: # I wrote this one earlier this year and had sent it out to a couple of places before I happened upon The Rye Whiskey Review. […]
