Erin Parker is a name that should be familiar to readers of Drunk Monkeys. Her story, “Gone Like the Moon”, was the first story published in 2014, and nominated for The Best of the Net. Her work, a mixture of the personal and the surreal, has been featured in numerous publications and anthology, most notably as a regular part of the Uno Kudo series.

"The room was so quiet, and the love coming at me from everyone listening to me read was palpable. I could feel it coming at me in waves, it was beautiful. Reading it seemed to go on forever, and I remember trying to read slower and slower because I didn’t want the moment to be over! When I was done, I felt like the story was actually gone from inside of me, the events of the story were finally, finally done after so many years."
