The London Magazine, Free Flash Fiction, Eunoia Review, Blood+Honey. I also post a new story on my blog every month. Fylde Coast. https://kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/
New story on the blog today. This is actually a chapter from a longer story I’m working on. Nostalgia - teen angst - Dylan! Cheers all for taking a look. kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2026/08/04/o...
On new short fiction: It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue
My trousers were bone dry by the end of the set. During ‘Hurricane’, I looked out at your family. People had gravitated to the front to be with your mum.

I wanted to share the copy of Wuthering Heights I’m reading. Picked it up ages ago from a charity shop, but only just realised it came from a school library - a school we used to walk past all the time at uni. Anyway, good book, if you haven’t heard of it.
A few more chapters left to go of this wonderful book by @johnhiggs.bsky.social. I don’t want it to end. And a rare book that warrants the hype. Will finish it now facing the offing - which feels somehow appropriate.
If you’d like a read, this is a short story I posted back in March. Elden Ring. Ideaspace. Christmas lunch. kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/i...
On new short fiction: I Am Malenia, Blade of Miquelle
Both girls eventually admitted that the photos were faked. The fairies were cardboard, or something. But one cousin was adamant that the last photo, the fifth, was real. She couldn’t let it go, not…

New post up on the blog about July reading. Cheers, all! 📚 kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2026/08/01/o...
On the books I’ve been reading in July
I read the first few chapters of The Hobbit and came across the best line written in English: “The washing-up was so dismally real…”

On #YorkshireDay, enjoy this lovely railway poster of the Yorkshire Dales by Ladybird artist Ronald Lampitt
Thing about the Beatles is - - they follow you around..
Do you think Avengers Doomsday and Dune Part 3 coming out on the same day will cancel out each other's discourse or combine into an all powerful one that will destroy us all?
Today’s lunchtime read in the shrub behind the industrial wasteland. One I’ve been meaning to get to for a while!
Latest story on the blog is ‘A Short Introduction to Block Time’. Experiment in second-person address - not as tedious as it sounds (I hope)!
Kieran Wyatt@kieranstories.bsky.social · 4w agoNew fiction on the blog for July. Thanks for reading! kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2026/07/01/o...
Shocking grammatical error on TOTP Big Hits 2002. Badly Drawn Boy deserves better 😔
30 minute album - - you love to see it. Really enjoyed this, particularly the last track featuring, of all people, David Cronenberg. Genuine LOL moments on Camera and Wink, Wink. I also like how Scorsese is navigating a difficult fart on the cover.

My post on Our Mutual Friend by the big CD 💿 Certainly one of the longest and weirdest reading experiences of my young life. Thanks for reading! kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2026/07/03/o...
On the book I’ve been reading in June: Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
I won’t be getting back to Preston until close to midnight. I have my floppy Wordsworth Classics edition of Our Mutual Friend, and I have been making notes in purple ballpoint pen.

Watching Scott Pilgrim and every character that has been introduced with their name age caption card has been older than us - even the ones that seemed like the old characters when we were young. Time!!
Scarborough weekend. Because I can’t drive (legend 😉) Alice has driven coast to coast twice in as many days, so big up.
A piece of flash fiction from last year if you want to take a look! Ghostly goings-on on the Fylde Coast.
Kieran Wyatt@kieranstories.bsky.social · 3w agoThe estuary was going, going – gone. I opened the cupboard above the sink. The tub of Sweetex was melting and pooling. It gave off something carcinogenic. Between the flames, Mum stood, anaemic, breathing slowly through her mouth. kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2025/10/21/o...

On new flash fiction: Melting in the Mother
I was in the corridor when it happened, looking at the BBC News app. An image of a crater, then Joe Biden. I went back into the room. The chair in the corner, near the French windows. Outside: tree…

Getting my hydration break meme in early tonight if that’s okay.
The title of this podcast has scrambled my head. Reads like yesterday’s match was a combined France/England team.
Really hooked by the first chapter here - and not at all what I expected!
