After the weird horror comes more weird horror

Today sees the publication of issue 12 of Weird Horror magazine, and it’s been a bit of a thrill to be included, alongside wonderful writers. Is horrible weirdness having a moment? Isn’t it always?

My story is called ‘After the Last Night comes the Rest of your Life’, which I think might be the longest title I’ve ever given to a story of mine.

You can order the magazine here. Thanks to Michael

Quotes by Aliya Whiteley (?)

“There are two types of understanding in this world. There's the kind that comes from the reading and the hearing, and it doesn't penetrate the skin. It is surface knowledge, like a soft blanket that can be placed over the shoulders. And then there's the understanding that comes from doing. That kind of understanding is not soft. It is water that soaks into the rocks and earth, and makes the seeds grow. It is messy, and painful, and impossible to hold.”
― Aliya Whiteley, The Beauty

“There is so much to say about a past. It's a vein of gold through a mountain, leading to an incontrovertible stone heart of truth. But the future is a horizon - a faintly visible line that will promise much, and always remain to far away to touch.”

“The past, the present and the future - none of those are set. We know that now. They change as we change.”
