Short Story: Dinner From Dante’s Inferno, by Mark Tulin/Adelaide Literary Magazine

I’m pleased to be included in Adelaide’s Literary Magazine, No.78, July 2025.

Dinner From Dante’s Inferno.

"Despite idolizing him, Dad didn’t have much of a connection with me. He had a bigger life somewhere far away, over a hundred miles in a small town in upstate Pennsylvania called Mammoth City. He had many friends there whom I had never met. He spent more time in his truck, listening to country music and hauling produce than with his son. I feel I should have meant more to him. At least I don’t make grinding sounds when I change gears or backfire when I go up a hill."

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
