As it’s Saturday night…
Paperback: Intervals of Darkness by Ray Newman.
Looking forward to starting this later after a bimble around town. Recharging my short story battery.
Thanks for the recs! I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far after a very brief look, especially the self portrait.
A beautiful piece by Mike @polyscribe70.bsky.social. Found the opening especially vivid. I hadn’t seen Gwen John’s work before, so it was interesting reading this without context and then searching online. Another great story on The Lonely Crowd.
What a milestone, congratulations! Check out Free Flash Fiction, it’s brilliant. Very pleased to have two stories on this site. Particularly proud of this piece: freeflashfiction.com/fiction/long...
Probably my favourite track is the opener. youtu.be/nXyTxw0NFrI?...
CD: Gained/Lost by The Wave Pictures
CD: Gained/Lost by The Wave Pictures
Bought this album on the strength of its artwork. Gained/Lost by The Wave Pictures. A collage of nostalgia and horror. Deborah Kerr was calling out to me. Warm. Fuzzy.
What a brilliantly strange and entertaining novel. Become a real Royleist the last few years.
A yellow sign with black writing which reads Herefordshire rural watch with a pictogram of a black scarecrow with yellow eyes and a crow on its hat. The sign is on a wooden fence with a churchyard and blue sky just visible behind it
Herefordshire rural watch is folk horror

As it’s Friday morning, here’s the story I posted last weekend. Something a bit different for me. But that’s what the blog’s for, I think. Thanks for reading! kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/i...
Do you think when Paul McCartney talked about having his aerial up in the 60s, he was anticipating what it would feel like to type one line into a Google Doc and then forgot about it for a year?
Sometimes I’ll go into M&S and blow £5.50 on one of their Best Ever sausage rolls. That’s how I get my kicks.
I think this is out next week! Can’t wait to share it. I’ve not had much energy for writing recently - new job, lots of life stuff - so this is a nice lift.
Hardback: First Novel by Nicholas Royle. And said packaging from Wings Greatest (facsimile of a Japanese CD) which should make a neat bookmark.
Time for a new bus book. I’ve chosen First Novel by @nicholasroyle.bsky.social. I remember some anti-bookmark sentiment in Shadow Lines, so have chosen not a bookmark but part of the packaging from a CD reissue of Wings Greatest.
“They would call it something very English, like Lily. She could hear David now, singing to the baby. We’ll drink the drink the drink, to Lily the pink the pink the pink, the leader of the human ray-hey-ace. He would bounce that baby up and down…” kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/i...
My partner (teacher) is dressing up as Wee Willie Winkie for World Book Day on Thursday and is now searching the flat for her candleholder. Running around like WWW himself.
Posted a short story yesterday on the blog. Inspired by the Cottingley fairies and the repitiousness of Elden Ring. kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/i...
Gig stage: tribute to The Sensational Alex Harvey Band about to start.
Back again. Don’t know much about TSAHB. With the old man. Learning opportunity.

My neck hurts. Between this and finding out Geese are 23 yrs old. I’m old, Gandalf.
Kurt Cobain said he liked my Sonic Youth t-shirt at the bar. Brilliant.
If you love vaping, get yourself down to a gig - any gig - and everyone around you will vape. The sweetest, most horrible scents imaginable. My guarantee!
That’s interesting - oh, of course, agreed!
Incredible album. Glad I’m finally on the Geese train. Excited for the future. Standout track for me is ‘Husbands’, but it’s all great. youtu.be/H2qb7k8SZLI?...
