I've said it before. Trash Theory @trashtheory.bsky.social is arguably the greatest YouTube channel. Short, cleverly made music documentaries, often positioned around one particular song, or genre, or era, or gimmick. Extremely entertaining. I've been waiting on this one. youtu.be/oCatW6UaCv0?...

A great feeling to be read. Thank you.
And #bookpost is Excavatum by @thispersona.bsky.social - it’s 1953. There’s three priests. There’s a boat. There’s a wayward sea captain. There’s a quest. It’s an odyssey. All at sea? You will be, if you buy this book. I recommend that you do. amzn.eu/d/0e9QijbB
Buy my novel, EXCAVATUM: a metaphysical fantasy, comic fable, and folk horror adventure about faith, grief, sex, and sea monsters. Moby Dick meets Father Ted. amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HCHG7PM6

YET
Strange what one remembers, and what one doesn’t. In the beginning it was Spiderman. Though I did not know yet. Seeing was all one could do as there was no way of knowing. Fort Street…

I found my old tape of John Waters' Desperate Living. It's as filthy and trashy as I remember. The looks I must have got buying this stuff back in the day. And the excuses I made. Until finally: there were none.
Thanks to Rae Toon for this video of all my books ranked. @beardedbadgerbooks.bsky.social @renardpress.com - my favourite two are also your favourite two and represent what I want to be doing - the angst of Flamingo and the queer joy of Saltburn. youtu.be/CIvQtX6N4BM?...

I recommend this every year. The 1982 RTÉ production of Ulysses. It's fantastic to hear these actors bring it all alive. It is among the two or three greatest things the national broadcaster ever did. (This is available on YouTube also) #Bloomsday #Joyce open.spotify.com/show/4wntQzE...

youtu.be/crwsNBNwSGs?... LISTEN to Chapter One of my novel EXCAVATUM which tells the story of a group of priests who become saddled with a dead body while travelling to Greenland. It's a story of faith, wolves, whales, sexual repression, religious corruption, deformity, and sunflowers.

‘Arkwright led Arthur outside, down to the seafront and under the full moon they tramped across the mudflats to the nuclear plant. In the distance, out at sea, the seals churned…’ ~ @drewgum.bsky.social Saltburn for #BookWormSat 1/2 🖼️ Wellcome Collection
My 4th book, You; From Pissed to Publication came just a year after Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel. A chapbook, 28 pages long, featuring the protagonist from Flamingo Hotel talking about his path to publication. TLS called it ‘indecently Bukowskian’. Happy #Pride 🏳️🌈 tinyurl.com/2p86ehd7
My 3rd book, Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel, came out 6 years ago, 12 years after my previous one. I’d given up on being published. Then I saw a new local publisher was setting up, Bearded Badger Books. Flamingo Hotel was finished so I thought, why not? Happy Pride 🏳️🌈. tinyurl.com/74b93u8a
Thoroughly enjoyed reading 'FOR ALL WE KNOW WE DON'T' by @thispersona.bsky.social Short stories set in the 80s centre around 3 lads in Ireland navigating life & the transition to senior school. For me, it's a coming of age tale with 'boys will be boys' at its heart. Highly recommended.
'The Cuckold Clock' From Joseph Strick's film of Ulysses. A truly bold and brilliant adaptation of a book if ever there was one.
For the Sunday crowd. Very proud that one of my stories is going to the launch title for this new chapbook publisher. So give them a follow because chapbooks are ace and what we need are more publishers of them! #ShortStories
Delighted to announce that the first author in our new, ongoing series of single story chapbooks will be the inimitable @drewgum.bsky.social Drew has written a tale that’s dark, funny, satirical and marvellously original and we can’t wait to publish it later in the year! #BookSky
