Bound by ideas and history, even rust tells tales.

New Year sun burns the frosted memories of last year in final attempt for us to misstep. The way ahead is warm and lit for you.

Not wishing to bore with repetitious mentions, but my novel, BOOK THIRTEEN (written as A William James), is now available via Audible. My two LEEPUS novels will follow in due course, once my vocal cords are restored. www.audible.com/pd/B0G5D2FX4...

The sun is shining. Look up.

Beautiful

#HorrorWritersChat Hi. I’m David Southwell. I do Hookland. For me the industrial past holds more horror in its soot cicatrix because it’s not only root of the modern ecological terror we find ourselves living through, but as I working class writer I would still echoes as intergenerational trauma.

This view speaks to me deeply.

Good people.

We wake to mornings of cold magic. Exhale dragon-breath, crunch frost-frozen leaves as we walk. The year is dying. We feel it as rush of ghosts, a shivering that foretells the blade of ice upon its neck. No wonder this is the season where folklore burns bright. – #DAKilroy, 1982 #Folklore

Every year @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social when I heave the long box inside the black bag travel bag into the taxi’s trunk I use the “Don’t worry, it’s not the wife!” quip. This year I plan to say: “Don’t worry, it’s not the sum of my hopes and folly.” Joke’s on the driver. It is.
