First book of the year finished and it's a belter. Probably missed some of the references and literary gags but made up for it by picking up the ATV, Crass and Poison Girls lines

Many of you will have seen this before but the first fiction i ever had in physical print was this xmas ghost story in 2022, republished the year after online w/thanks to @andrewgallix.bsky.social at the legendary 3:AM magazine 🙏🖤 www.3ammagazine.com/3am/last-cal...

Thanks to Dennis Cooper for including Loren ipsum in his books of the year

Here’s my review of @andrewgallix.bsky.social’s wonderfully irreverent debut novel, Loren Ipsum, in the print edition of today’s @theguardian.com

Delighted to announce that MALC’S BOY by Shaun Wilson will be @conduitbooks.bsky.social’s first title! Coming April 2026.

Loren Ipsum uses a murder premise to satirize vanity, pretension, and performative culture among contemporary writers, critics, and literary scenesters.

“It is brimful with puns, literary references, and exuberant humour, some sophisticated, some Carry On double entendres. Its elective affinities are as much with Beerbohm and Waugh as with Joyce and Proust” Richard Clegg reviews Loren Ipsum bookmunch.wordpress.com/2025/11/05/a...

Book mail. UNWORDS by Andrew Gallix editor of 3ammagazine. Enjoying opening this at random to pick up anecdotal gems with conversations in Filthy McNasty's, considerations of writing in the Platonic or Ionic style and more. A lot of fun and cultural and literary analysis.
