Lucy in the Pit, by Jordan Harper (Thuglit #1)
I'm sure Jordan Harper doesn't hate dogs. Almost.
Grit, by Tom Franklin (from Poachers: Stories)
Okay, so this story isn't from anywhere near 2012 (it was published in 1999), but, man, the story is exactly what the title promises. Exactly. Tom Franklin's got as secure a place at the tippy-top of American letters as anyone going.
Occupy Opportunity, Joe Clifford (Pulp Ink 2)
Great writing; bonus points for making making screeching patchouli hippies into a fictional opportunity.
The last two I cheated on, on account of editing them:
Tourettes, by Les Edgerton (Bareknuckles Pulp Dept, Out of the Gutter Online)
I solicited this story from Les Edgerton to kick off the Out of the Gutter Bareknuckles Pulp Dept., and the man did not disappoint.
The Little Death, by Keisha Lynne Ellis, (PANK Pulp Issue)
This one came through the queue out of hundreds of submissions for the PANK Pulp Issue, and it still sticks with me. A threesome with Jesus & Che? Yeah.

Thank you so much, Court. I'd extremely honored to be included in such an august group of writers.
