  • Gore/Stars/Sex

      As the wind swept through the streets outside, I spent a few hours watching compilations on YouTube of car crashes and shit like that.

  • Boy/Girl

      Through one door and out the other, there are flashes of light on your face and static charges that jump the length of my arm.

  •   A video where I discuss how the creative act, namely writing, has become my faith. There are also readings of two pieces from the second volume of Damned Lovers, Dysmorphia and Not Lovers. I fuckup throughout this video, so it’s good for a laugh if nothing else. A Journal for Damned Lovers on Amazon.co.uk… Read more

  • Harmony

      80’s horror films and cups of tea that taste like that blonde girl I used to know at school, the one who had flaky skin on her fingers. The biscuits I eat taste like her as well. Those crumbly ones with the strawberry filling. At the school prom when we were both 10, she… Read more
