McSweeney’s provides new multimedia content each week from the popular indie publisher, including material from McSweeney’s Quarterly and the book magazine The Believer. ($3 monthly; iOS)

Storyville “keeps it simple: one story each week.” The company’s staff showcases both mainstream and small presses. ($5 for six months on iOS; $1.50 per month for Kindle)
