OUT NOW! Divinations Issue 4: Disco

🕺🪩🎵There’s something going down and I can feel it…🎵🪩🕺

The latest issue of Divinations is now available to read and is packed with disco horror goodness! Sixteen talented creatives have contributed their work to this issue and there are all sorts of poems and stories, from mysterious nightclub meetings to vengeful hen party homicide. Some of my personal favourites are ‘Tips for Surviving a Party’ by S.C. Williams, ‘A Bloody Mess’ by Halle Preston, and ‘Mood Belt’ by Sam Logan.

Peep my name in the acknowledgements under the fiction editors section! It was great to work with Divinations once again and I am proud to be apart of this issue. Reviewing pieces and editing them can be challenging but it’s always fun overall. Combing through submissions and helping them evolve into their final form is something I really enjoy.

Let me know your favourite parts in the comments below!

ACCEPTANCE: ‘Necrobiome Love Affair’

For the fourth year in a row, I’ve been accepted into Aberystwyth University’s MA Anthology!

This year’s theme was ‘metamorphosis’–I always like to take the themes of these anthologies and turn them into something dark, and this was a particularly fun one.

Inspired by my current obsession of flies, maggots, and decay, Necrobiome Love Affair is a short story with gothic vibes and sexual undertones.

Written from the perspective of a dead body, the story follows the decomposition of the corpse and its relationship to the lifecycles of flies as a metaphor for failed romances.

So happy my streak hasn’t been broken and very excited to see all the other pieces!
