His work also appears in The Southern Review, Surreal South, Twentysomething Essays by Twentysomething Writers, and Best American Mystery Stories.

Praise for In the Devil's Territory:

"In the Devil's Territory is a brilliant and electrifying debut from one of America's best young writers. Filled with grace and wisdom, Kyle Minor's bold, compassionate stories burn deep into the eternal mysteries and violent truths of the human experience with the force of a welding torch cranked to the max. I would walk through Hell to be able to write like him."...more
