The Hole In The Sky is out today!

The Hole In The Sky (Part One: Fragmentation) is finally out today. It’s been a long road for a book that I started in 2018 after I concluded that my other work-in-progress, a manuscript with the name The Green Man, wasn’t going to amount to anything. Strange how things work out. THITS takes me back to my science-fiction roots and tackles the strange complexes and crises of identity that come about in the creative industries. True, not everyone has the ability to dream up monsters and make them real, but the thought holds true.

Chronscast Episode 29 – Mulholland Drive with Tade Thompson

Bean and I are joined once more by one of the good friends of Chronscast, Tade Thompson, to discuss the great David Lynch’s towering masterpiece, Mulholland Drive. Lynch is one of our favourite filmmakers, and his films continue to astound and bewilder like no other director’s can. We wanted to do an episode to give our own small tribute to the great man, so you can imagine our delight when our old pal Tade told us of his own love for Lynch.

Long Read: Gormless, Ghastly Equality in Gormenghast

It’s been said that the characteristic difference between left and right wing politics is the question of borders; generally speaking, the more conservative one is, the less one is inclined to keep the borders open, until you get to the extreme end where the ideal number of people crossing the border is zero. And vice versa for the left-wing, whose ideal border policy can be described in two words: Open Door (although I’m aware that the descriptors “left” and “right” might be losing their meaning as the political landscape undergoes its current changes. But that’s another topic for another day).
