I'll link to any new publications here and, one of these days, I may actually do a little blogging too.

“The Point of Possible Return” at Lowlife Lit Press

May 3, 2025 by Cliff Aliperti

Lowlife LIt Press

Charmed for a third time over at Lowlife Lit Press with publication of “The Point of Possible Return,” a twisty speculative story, told by one man from multiple points of view. But again, one man (you’ll get it if you read it!). This one has some salty language, and starts a bit rough, but I […]

“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. It’s also exciting to […]

“Obedience Training” in Spring Into SciFi: 2025 Edition

March 31, 2025 by Cliff Aliperti

Obedience Training in Spring Into SciFi 2025

I always mention that “Obedience Training” is my dog story. It’s a weird one, sure, but how many of us haven’t wished something akin to my opening line at one time or another: It had been twelve years since they tinkered with genetics and upped the average age for dogs to fifty-six years. Okay, I’m […]

“Spin Cycle” at Lowlife Lit Press

March 24, 2025 by Cliff Aliperti

Lowlife LIt Press

I wrote this story that I really liked; I knew it was good writing, and I found it funny. I also knew it was loaded with filthy language, and comments on its first rejection warned me, women won’t like this story. I kind of thought, well, yeah, they definitely won’t like these characters, because the […]

“Present in Time” at After Dinner Conversation

January 1, 2025 by Cliff Aliperti

After Dinner Conversation

And just that quick we’re kicking off 2025 (oh, writing gods, please continue to be kind!), with my second appearance in After Dinner Conversation with “Present in Time.” Unfortunately, you can’t read this one for free, but it is available right now as an actual magazine (with paper, remember those!) with an even more affordable […]

“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, […]
