the best kind of right/left discourse for me this holiday season:

One of the last books of 2025 - stumbling into another alternate-history without realising, three in a row. Incredibly dense and oblique beginning with diegetic future slang opens up to pretty fascinating and intricate almost-thriller. Elvis cults, Moby-Dick, Fisher-King, newspeak. Recommend.

'AB OVO USQUE AD BOTRUS' - Crest of the Worshipful Guild of Vintners

WIP spot art by Alice Carroll for an upcoming heist for @melsonian-arts-council.itch.io and @lukegearing.bsky.social's SWYVERS

The Alteration - Kingsley Amis, 1979.
Interesting alt-history, propped up by the fascinating world building, even if the story is all a bit forced to resolution
