I really like, no, honestly I LOVE these stories I wrote over the years, so I'm selling them for a cost-covering £4 (inc UK p&p) to get them read: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26752117...

They're on Amazon, too. Either way, I really hope one or two more of you get to see 'em.

Virginia Woolf’s foreword to the catalogue of Vanessa Bell’s solo painting exhibition of 1930.
Virginia toyed with the issues of gender that had plagued her own career as well as her sister's: One says, Anyhow Mrs Bell is a woman; and then half way round the room one says, But she may be a man. One says, She is interested in children; one has to add, But she is equally interested in rocks. One asks, Does she show any special knowledge of clothes? One replies, Stark nakedness seems to please her as well... Is she - for our patience is becoming exhausted - not a woman at all, but a mixture of Goddess and peasant, treading the clouds with her feet and with her hands shelling peas

I'm sorry, but I can't be the only person who is wildly amused by the legs sticking out from the top of the door on the RESIDENT EVIL poster. I literally laugh every time I see it out in the world. To me, Door Legs is an icon. A diva. The moment. Door Legs is Time's Person of the Year.

DANGLING (out Oct 1) is a collection of dark short fiction, featuring 28 stories about people on the precipice. Absurdism, literary realism, and horror, with a dash of the speculative.

Let me know if you'd like to review an ARC. Also available on NetGalley:

"We require heroism of our entertainers. We want them sacrificing themselves to a certain ultimate degree of input... No one can survive being this intensely cherished, but it is we who are wrung out like sponges watching her, hearts pounding, slightly afraid of what’s next." - Ann Carson on Rosalía

But is it fascism? Do they really yearn for apocalypse? Isn't that polarizing? Shouldn't we be nice to them?

We made a short video so folks can hear the end timers in their own words and judge for themselves:

First watch: REDS (1981)

This film is remarkable both as a tumultuous love story (Diane Keaton and Warren Beatty have perfect chemistry) and as a historical drama of the Russian Revolution and how it irrevocably changed their lives.

It also succeeds by ...
