“I believe in the power of the imagination to remake the world, to release the truth within us, to hold back the night, to transcend death, to charm motorways, to ingratiate ourselves with birds, to enlist the confidences of madmen.”

I’ve collected some new followers over the last few days, so thanks. I’m a massively unprolific writer of short (usually very short) fiction: surrealistic, weird, science-fictioney, horror type stuff. I also produce art, mainly to moodboard the writing.
