Red On Yellow. Content Warning.
I swirl my wine in one hand, feet crossed and resting on the wooden coffee table. In the dim, warm light of our lounge room, the rich liquid looks black through the delicate glass. I have one arm resting on the back of the lounge, but remove it to check my watch; gold straps with a black-backed timepiece. In the silence I can hear its soft click as the seconds tick by.

Underskin. Content Warning.
There’s something under my skin. I feel it moving there, sometimes. Squiggling like a maggot flailing in a bird’s mouth. Slowly, it works its way from place to place, and my fingers writhe with its passage; the passing of a slug leaving rot along its wake.

Atomic Shadows and International Security
Historical events can reveal information about the present when they are examined in their context. One such example is the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the people who burned that day, and the shadows they left behind.

Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies: 200 Word Reviews #8
Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies by John Langan is truly fantastic and offers a collection stories so fresh and freaky I am frustrated I didn’t think of them first. The worst thing about great writers like Langan is realising long the road is to being one of the greats, and how much ground is left to cover.

The God Of Small Things: 200 Word Reviews #9
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy is an utterly phenomenal book. I struggle to put into words the beauty of its prose, or do a semblance of justice to the ragged and raw story of trauma it tells. Reading it changed me, changed the kind of books I hope to write.
