I am not really on Twitter anymore which I am now realising is coming across as silence in the face of awfulness so here is my Instagram.

CEASEFIRE NOW.

Only took five years, Black Dog is out today on Invada Records UK - a wonderful label without whom this release wouldn’t have been possible. Huge thanks to them and everybody who helped me make & release it. lnk.to/siMY2p7Z

A resurgence of acclaim has established Shirley Jackson as the queen of dark literary fiction, Kristen Roupenian writes. But a new follow-up to “Haunting on the Hill” is most successful when the author draws on her own talents, versus imitating Jackson. nyer.cm/C8jtfRc

Today I spoke to several distinguished genocide scholars & educators. We discussed the situation & focused specifically on this statement & the many others like it coming out of Israel’s govt.

All 6 of us agreed that this fully espousing genocidal intent.

'The places we are born come back' -- it's been years since I read Everything Under by Daisy Johnson, but these lines have stuck with me and I think about them a lot, ever more so as I get older and feel further away from home. Such a powerful opening

Who is publishing Kelly Link's novel in the UK and do they want my first already born child in exchange for a proof?

Just finished reading Daisy Johnson's 'Everything Under' and my whole body aches from how profoundly it moved me.
Johnson's story has gotten under my skin so perfectly and made me feel so entirely shaken and uprooted. I can't recommend it enough

'إنَّ كلَّ ذكرياتِنا تُنقَل، وتُستَذكَر، فلا تعودُ مماثلةً لحقيقتِها التي كانت. وذلكَ يُثقِلُني ويؤرّقُني: أنّي لن أتيقَّن أبدًا ممّا حدث'

المَكنُون، ترى النّور أخيرًا ♥️

Thank you, Daisy Johnson

This the second book I have read by Daisy Johnson (after Fen, a collection of her short stories) and what a marvellous writer she is. Maybe it could be described as “modern gothic” but whatever you call it it’s definitely haunting, poetic & I’ll be reading more by her.

OK then - filmmakers + producers pls make this happen! Daisy is one of the best contemporary writers out there. Pretty much anything she's written would make a slaying film, and one I would happily score. 👌

Everything Under by Daisy Johnson is dreamy and lyrical and simultaneously bleak and realist. Very well-written, it suited late spring walks along rivers.
