Welcome to Twenty-Four Hours

From 2001-2016 Twenty-Four Hours was a literary and culture website, featuring a variety of writers and styles. I took a break for a year, to decide whether or not I wanted to continue. And I do. But we are making a big change.

Twenty-Four Hours is now a small press publisher, and we will publish 1-2 chapbooks per year. Please stay tuned to this website for more information.

Like most of you, I had to read this twice when I first saw it. They say there are no frontiers left, but apparently these women have … Continue reading Whips, Cossacks and a Flashing Torso by Paul Handley
