In this episode, Annar and Joe had the chance to sit down with Fernando A. Flores, author of Death to the B******t Artists of South Texas, the short story collection that revived Host Publications as we know it after taking a brief hiatus.   We always like to say that Death to the B******t Artists of South Texas is a psychedelic romp through the Rio Grande Valley music scene. It is collection of 10 punk rock fairy-tales about artists and misfits trying to make noise and live forever in the unforgiving landscape of the Rio Grande Valley.   Fernando A. Flores is a writer who grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, near McAllen, Texas. In addition to Death to the B******t Artists of South Texas, he is the author of Tears of the Truffle Pig, which was long-listed for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, and the forthcoming short story collection, Velleyesque, out May 3rd, 2022.
