Black Static #28 is now out.

It features fiction by Carole Johnstone, Jon Ingold, Priya Sharma and Joel Lane, and non-fiction by Stephen Volk, Peter Tennant, Tony Lee and Mike O’Driscoll. Illustrations are by Warwick Fraser-Coombe, David Gentry, Richard Wagner.

My own story ‘Pale Limbs’ also appears, with a great illustration by Mark Pexton.

Not One Of Us #47 is out.

As well as fiction by Patricia Russo, Francesca Forrest, Mike Allen and A.A. Garrison, there’s a fine range of poetry and great cover and interior art by John Stanton.

My story ‘The Glass Presence’ also appears, I’m delighted to say.

“Apparently” Waterstone’s bookshop was the only shop in Clapham Junction left untouched by the looters.

What a lot that tells us about the looters.

Except, of course, it isn’t true.

Mark Stone’s Sky News report from the scene depicts the looting of Currys but adds (at 1:41)

“a lot of the [other shops] don’t appear to have been touched. Waterstone’s, others, not touched.”
