Joyland published my short story, Norse Gods, Venice Beach. Post-Ragnarok, the gods prepare to meet at Idavoll. Hod is assigned to distribute the rings that will grant the gods passage. Her brothers–Hermod, Thor, Vidar, Vali, and Balder–start coming by her house in the Venice Canals to say hello.
This story was edited by Lisa Locascio, Joyland’s Los Angeles editor, who has a story herself that I really love called Barri Gotic, revolving around an English professor’s trip to Barcelona. Very funny, and very honest in its yearning.
