Absolutely chuffed to announce that I have a story in this month's Aurealis magazine!
It's an Australian gothic historical horror that begins with something that has always scared the shit out of me: a knock on the door in the middle of the night.

According to the Nazis: The evidence was all fake, the prosecution winners revenge, and anyway, Hitler and Himmler did it all themselves.
They hung (or in the case of Goering, died) convinced they were the good Germans.

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

I guess it's unlikely but if Aus does end up winning COP31 this is probably a good taste of how the government will treat the Pacific nations it's claiming to be elevating

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.
Does this sound familiar?
Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

pretty weird that our second most populous state will treat 14 year olds like they're adults, but won't let them on social media until they're 16. feels like a bit of dissonance there

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

October blog is UP! Typical of my kind of Halloween, things got very WW2 and Frankenstein focused.
