Is it possible for an area to be ‘too good’ to have a McDonalds? Or a Tesco? Apparently there are those who think Stirchley (in Birmingham) is. A great piece from @danielcave_ in the @brumdispatch https://t.co/71qIeo90cp
Utterly delighted that our sophomore anthology Night Time Economy is one of the mighty @vocebooks’ Books of the Year. We could not have done it without them. Thanks!
Night Time Economy is a wonderful anthology from @FloodgatePress and you can now find out a bit more more about some of the stories behind the stories. What a great idea!
This is so, so true. My reading has been immeasurably enriched by the carefully curated recommendations from Clive & Maria at @vocebooks. The best way to ‘beat the algorithm monster’ is not to engage with it. Support your local indie bookstore.
Had my short fiction published over the weekend at the wonderful @CrowKeys . Been a big fan of their output for a while so I'm very pleased to have work of my own featured! Check it out for some derelict shorelines, a derelict relationship, and strange goings-on. #shortstory
We love that dilapidated seaside atmosphere. At any moment the sea, the buildings, a buried urban legend that everyone pretends doesn't exist, or an overlarge seagull could swallow you whole. So relaxing.
