A week ago the Void Distribution System sent this smol void my way.
Born at a riding school, Joanie settled in about twelve seconds and is loving life. Her BFF is my dementia-haunted 17yr old orange cat.
Thank you VDS - we all kinda love her 🖤

The time of Spook and Ghoul is ever closer - a good time therefore to creep yourself out with a bumper read of short fictions full of darkliness.
Available for less than ten English poundlets, it opens with Wigleaf longlisted piece - A Whisper of Before.

It's my birthday very soon so I'm shamelessly releasing my two collections in time 😀Four years of short fic writing is crammed into these two books of my published work. I'll have links to them soon, on the 'Zon, and hope you'll give one - or both - a looksee 🖤

What a weekend @flashficfestuk.bsky.social. So glad I decided to go. I will crash out for a week now - but that's a payoff I'll happily live with.
I got to meet and be surrounded by the best flash writers as well as do incredible workshops. So much positive energy and inspiration 😀

Oh, I’ll be fine 😀

Here she is - the second of my upcoming short fiction collections. This is the darker sister, the one with a maniacal laugh and way too many teeth.
Huge thanks to @matgost.bsky.social and @sjtownend.bsky.social for their amazing blurbs.
I'm excited to unleash this one 🖤
June 11, 2025 at 6:10 PM
This is one of TWO collections I am publishing this year! One for Sorrow takes the reader on a journey forward and back between the extremes of human truth. Seeking connection. Sorrow and joy. Dark and light. Life and death.

Crawling into your inboxes tomorrow like pubic lice, Slacks is back with the plague that gripped the village's nethers for long, terrible weeks.
After this, the blog goes fortnightly - to give him, and you, a nice long time for showers and hot cocoas.

In a world where nothing is certain and indeed everything's uncertain, one man risks all exposing terrible, intimate things in his reportage of village life.
It's Part Four of a four part series.
Which means it's the last one. Heeeeere's Nutjob benettonslacks.substack.com/p/when-you-c...

It's almost the weekend AGAIN!
That means more from Benetton Slacks and the weirdest, filthiest village in all the lands. Like, everywhere.
Meet two more of the newspaper staff in this two-day Slackstraveganza 😀
