OUT NOW: ‘Werewolf at the Dentist’

· Leave a comment ·

My first hybrid poetry piece ‘Werewolf at the Dentist’ is now available to read in the Halloween issue of Rawhead: A Journal of Art and Literature!

A short horror poem about the defanging of the queer rights movement and the descent towards a “safer” and more corporate-approved image of queerness, ‘Werewolf at the Dentist’ sits atop of a black and white lino print of a hollow, broken tooth.

I’m very excited to have this poem out in the world. I originally wrote it as part of a horror poetry collection that was ultimately rejected, so it’s nice to have one of the pieces break containment and hopefully find an audience.

It’s packed with fiction, nonfiction, poems, art and hybrids, so there’s plenty to dig your teeth into.

OUT NOW: ‘Little God’

· Leave a comment ·

My short story ‘Little God’ is now available to read in Dualiterary Magazine’s autumn issue, ‘Sinner & Saint.’

Following two sisters raised in a religious household, ‘Little God’ is a tragic tale of magic, protection, and belief.

Dualiterary is a quarterly literary magazine dedicated to writing that showcases duality. They encourage writing that showcases two ends of one spectrum and invite you to question the dual nature of ideas, concepts, and beings. Believing everything in creation has a balance, they wish to see work that seeks to reflect on these dichotomies.

ACCEPTANCE: ‘Little Trinkets’

· 1 Comment ·

Starting this year off nicely, I’m happy to report that my (very) short story, ‘Little Trinkets’ has been accepted for publication in a magazine!

‘Little Trinkets’ is a poetic 350-word short story, told from the perspective of three birds that discover a dead body dumped in a field. It explores the usefulness of the dead to nature. If you liked my story ‘Necrobiome Love Affair,’ then I think you might also like this!

This will be my second paid piece ever and it should be coming out later this year.

🕺🪩🎵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.
