On Fiction Esoteric and Philosophical
I’m faced with a problem when attempting to describe my work. Sometimes I will tell a straighforward story, as I did in Apocalypse Cow and The Garden, to name just two; but sometimes, as I do in my most recent Horror to Culture offering The Vampyre and the God, or my proem The Fool and the Harlequin, I’m using archetypical language and symbols to express something beyond everyday human experience, but which I nevertheless hold to be true of the human psyche—both mine individually as well as the way it interfaces with the collective.

Book Review: The Disruptors by Joseph Darlington
In an alternative 2016, celebrities are going missing... Mysterious inventor, Zane Lund, has created a device capable of shrinking objects down to the molecular level, or infinitely growing them. Sammy Habib, a plucky and rebellious Internet journalist, is looking for the story that will make her career. Alongside unwitting accomplice John Barton, a lonely farmhand, she embarks on a series of bizarre adventures as they try to uncover the truth behind these stories. As the technology takes off globally, a collective of governments sign an agreement to regulate how it can be used. Naturally, a seedy criminal underworld emerges as those with the knowhow start using the powers for nefarious purposes. Anything is possible for the right price... The Disruptors is a comedically dark satire of technology and it’s unknowable applications, and an allegory on clickbait news and celebrity-worship.

The Thursday Murder Club Review. AI-Generated.
Introduction The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman is an extraordinary mystery novel which has met a great positive reception by audiences all over the world since its publication. This review will solely be on the audiobook format which in my opinion made the book even more enjoyable. Though, getting the feel of the characters and their outlandish personalities, due to which each chapter radiates with the palpable presence of their idiosyncrasies are felt better while listening to a play by Lesley Manville.
