It's #FridayReads time!

Recently, I've been reading Kevin Barry's The Heart in Winter, an intoxicating stream of consciousness Western love story.

Tom Rourke and Polly Gillespie are a magnetic yet disturbing duo: you can't help but root for them!

Happy Publication Day to @lenniesaurus.bsky.social, POYUMS ANNAW 🌊 is out today!

These poems are a call to arms, confronting ideas of patriarchy, gender-based violence and societal injustice with equal parts tenderness, quick-wit and righteous fury.

Evening! Last week I went to see Juliet Stevenson in David Lan’s The Land of the Living @nationaltheatre.org.uk.

Stevenson was magnetic and slightly terrifying in her portrayal of Ruth, a UN worker trying to repatriate children stolen by the Nazis.

Len Pennie won praise and faced criticism for exploring domestic abuse in her award-winning debut. She talks about partying sober, writing in Scots, and why she’s rooting out stigma in her follow-up collection

A very nice write-up for THE DEFINITIONS in Kirkus, and, dare I say, *very* good news for readers who like their entries into the canon of contemporary dystopias elliptical, unsettling and belonging to the lyrical tradition www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Jumping on the #WyrdWednesday Wagon!

Today we’ve got the cover of Steven Quincey-Jones’ Fishfolk.

It's a fable involving shapeshifting nautical creatures of the sea and their dominion of the waves.

Very Lovecraft-coded!
