With my Welsh Horror PhD postponed until next year due to lack of funding, I'm returning to my fiction after a (painfully) long break. Here's the last story I published, an eldritch ecohorror for @grantamag.bsky.social granta.com/sing-stone-s...

We're really excited to see our latest single on Guitar World's Editors' Picks playlist 🖤 "Infernal Star I is a barreling rager that channels the majestic blood and thunder of Mastodon and adds a serrated edge of post-hardcore." www.guitarworld.com/artists/musi... @apfrecords.bsky.social

Thanks @boolintunes.bsky.social for the review of our new single: "In a master stroke, they turn the track’s rock’n’roll chorus lick into a sweeping lead line, making for a soaring instrumental outro to contrast all the heavy grit that’s been mulched before it." boolintunes.com/news/new-mus...

Despite initiatives purporting to promote working-class writing, the publishing industry remains woefully out of touch with the needs, pressures, and dreams of life outside bourgeois Britain. Is another working-class literature possible?

Another fantastic competition from @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social this time to celebrate bookshop day! Enter here: uk.bookshop.org/shop/BookSpa...

Promo poster / flyer arrival day is one of my favourite things.... It seems more real that something is happening. Psychologically I feel like im doing it properly. Meet super supportive people who have them up in their shops. Shooting the shit while pushing flyers out at gigs is a buzz.

Late 2020s British culture is dominated by an oppressive mix of boredom and quiet violence. Meanwhile, working-class forms of expression are aggressively marginalised by a decaying bourgeoisie.
