Is it possible for an area to be ‘too good’ to have a McDonalds? Or a Tesco? Apparently there are those who think Stirchley (in Birmingham) is. A great piece from @danielcave_ in the @brumdispatch nitter.cf/brumdispatch/status/18…

Utterly delighted that our sophomore anthology Night Time Economy is one of the mighty @vocebooks’ Books of the Year. We could not have done it without them. Thanks!

Night Time Economy is a wonderful anthology from @FloodgatePress and you can now find out a bit more more about some of the stories behind the stories. What a great idea!

In the first of a series of blog posts from our contributors, writer Liz Kershaw shares how she approached her story ‘Intersection’ which was included in the Night Time Economy anthology published by us in September 2024. Read it here floodgatepress.co.uk/the-lon…

This is so, so true. My reading has been immeasurably enriched by the carefully curated recommendations from Clive & Maria at @vocebooks. The best way to ‘beat the algorithm monster’ is not to engage with it. Support your local indie bookstore.

My friend, the disgustingly talented @TMaguireWrite, has written a horror-washed short story, reflecting on place, precarity, loss and the tales we tell ourselves to cope with the decay and atomisation of the system we exist within. Read here: crowcrosskeys.com/2024/08/31…

Had my short fiction published over the weekend at the wonderful @CrowKeys . Been a big fan of their output for a while so I'm very pleased to have work of my own featured! Check it out for some derelict shorelines, a derelict relationship, and strange goings-on. #shortstory

We love that dilapidated seaside atmosphere. At any moment the sea, the buildings, a buried urban legend that everyone pretends doesn't exist, or an overlarge seagull could swallow you whole. So relaxing. "Brackwold-on-Sea" by Tom Maguire crowcrosskeys.com/2024/08/31…

Wrote this article for @BlueLabyrinths analysing Gary Budden's "Greenteeth", pubbed by @DeadInkBooks, with Joel Lane's "The Sunken City", reprinted by @Influxpress. Click thru for discussion of neoliberalism as a weirding entity (& how weird fictions decode it!) #weirdfiction
