‘Take the protagonists of Withnail & I, make them aspiring poets and transplant them to a squat in 1980s Liverpool…soak the whole thing in the sad eternal beauty of the Blues…’ LATCHKEY by Jeff Young From Sacred Parasite @sacredparasite.bsky.social www.sacredparasite.com/product/jeff...

‘My memory of the seaside dissolves into the memories of the people in the photographs. And everything we need to know is in these small things we hold in our hands’: a typically brilliant piece of writing by @wildtwin.bsky.social

The colourful realm of words to ride out the storm... @wildtwin.bsky.social

Lovely piece of writing on thoughts and memory and old photographs by Jeff Young @wildtwin.bsky.social

A morning swim then read @wildtwin.bsky.social‘s ‘Latchkey’ in a small Brighton café — the home of “ne’er-do-wells”. I don’t know, between Rampling, Fingerprint Man & Pete, I can’t quite decide who I like more. A superb novella of 1980s squatsville.

Spiders and Flies 🕷️🪰 By Richard Foster A dream journey through the Dutch underground music scene of the 2000s-2010s. Foster resurrects a lost world – one preserved in mouldy gig flyers – until now. 3/3/27 More at tinyurl.com/478v3v8. @richardjamesfoster.bsky.social @turnarounduk.bsky.social

Just finished this and it’s KNOCKOUT! I really recommend it.

The Northwest USA is special. Portland, to me, is even more so. So I am extremely pleased to announce that those 6 SP titles—books by @andreicodrescu.bsky.social, @wildtwin.bsky.social, JWGoll, William Minor, Howie Good, and me—are now available (and so perfectly displayed!) in Word Virus Books.

These two, @wildtwin.bsky.social's Latchkey and JWGoll's The Terminal Art, are on their way to @typewronger.bsky.social in Edinburgh. Gonna join a LOT of their Sacred Parasite friends. Actually, they may already be there. If not: Soon!

Jeff Young's collages are a marvel.

Critic @davidcollard.bsky.social kicks off a series of conversations with authors and publishers on the state of criticism, small presses and the reception of a certain novel. First up is @cdrose.bsky.social, author of We Live Here Now, winner of the Goldsmiths Prize. youtu.be/EUbitLCUnqE?...

And if you need another reason why you should stop whatever it is you're doing and buy Latchkey, Wild Twin, Ghost Town, and Delíria, go ahead and read @wildtwin.bsky.social's latest article in Science & Magic 34. It's called "Silence." And it is beautiful. www.violetterecords.com/science-and-...

Liverpudlians and Scousers: Fear Not! That box, packed with @wildtwin.bsky.social's new novella Latchkey, got on its way to News From Nowhere yesterday and should arrive Mon. or Tues. If you've bought one: Dankeschön! If you haven't, get in there this weekend and either buy or reserve yours today.
