First up,'The Coiled Serpent' by Camilla Grudova. Perhaps even more gross than her debut 'The Doll's Alphabet', but that is no bad thing. 🖤 @atlanticbooks.bsky.social

'Topographica Hibernica' by Blindboy. Poignant, hilarious, abject stories of geographical and bodily wastelands @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social

'Terminal Zones' by Gareth Rees. Darling comic eco-collapse will always be my jam. I especially love the one about the new father who falls in love with a pylon. @garetherees.bsky.social @influxpress.bsky.social

Now reading the soothing, haunting and humane 'Quickly While They Still Have Horses' by Jan Carson. 2024 was quite a good year for short fiction, I reckon... @jancarsonwrites.bsky.social @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social

No worries, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just realised my typo of 'darling', which should be 'darkly' but I reckon we just go with that....!
