This book swept me up and away. — Derek McCormack Nearly pulls off something completely new and brilliant. — Noreen Masud like uneasy summer light in the surface of a photograph. — Imogen Cassels let Fragile July drive you crazy. — Jordan/_ Hell brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/o…

Its atmosphere is uncanny rather than overtly surreal, with domestic scenes tightening around pits, locked spaces, missing rooms, and half-seen figures at windows. brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/o…

Built from repetition, incremental shifts, & documentary attention to objects & photographs, the text tests how memory hardens into narrative, how evidence clarifies and corrupts, & how dread can arrive retrospectively as a structure imposed on the past. brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/o…

Fragile July by Oscar Nearly is a prose-poem of obsessive reconstruction, circling a single childhood summer in which the ordinary textures of suburbia, garden games, camera snapshots, pop songs, and family rituals begin to feel charged with threat. brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/o…

Happy to say that the first issue of Queen Mary's postgraduate-run journal is now published online! Was a pleasure to read the work of our brilliant contributors and to co-edit this issue with @misbahahhmed and @NearlyOscar .

We're pleased to announce the publication of the inaugural issue of POLTERGEIST, Queen Mary University's new postgraduate-run journal for literary and critical studies. In this issue, our contributors approach the topic of FAILINGS. You can find it here: sedpoltergeist.com

Absolutely thrilled to have been part of such an amazing conference!! And massive thanks to @Digitintimacies and @simulated_maria for such a great panel and moderation and letting me be involved

In the lead-up to the abstract deadline for our first issue, FAILINGS, we will be posting our own choice examples: These crumbling heads of US presidents were the feature of Presidents Park. The park, a financial failure, closed in 2010. The Ozymandaic busts now decay in storage.

I'm organising a journal with @RyanOShea42 and @misbahahhmed and I want all of your failures!!

My grandma passed away this morning. You might know that I helped to look after her for the past few years. These are some photos of her playing Blanche DuBois in one of the first amateur productions of Streetcar Named Desire.
