A few more chapters left to go of this wonderful book by @johnhiggs.bsky.social. I don’t want it to end. And a rare book that warrants the hype. Will finish it now facing the offing - which feels somehow appropriate.

If you’d like a read, this is a short story I posted back in March. Elden Ring. Ideaspace. Christmas lunch. kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/i...

On new short fiction: I Am Malenia, Blade of MiquelleBoth girls eventually admitted that the photos were faked. The fairies were cardboard, or something. But one cousin was adamant that the last photo, the fifth, was real. She couldn’t let it go, not…kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com

Scrooge & Marley keeping it real on a Sunday.

On the books I’ve been reading in JulyI read the first few chapters of The Hobbit and came across the best line written in English: “The washing-up was so dismally real…”kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com

Early morning scrollers - ditto! 📚

Thing about the Beatles is - - they follow you around..

Today’s lunchtime read in the shrub behind the industrial wasteland. One I’ve been meaning to get to for a while!

Latest story on the blog is ‘A Short Introduction to Block Time’. Experiment in second-person address - not as tedious as it sounds (I hope)!

Shocking grammatical error on TOTP Big Hits 2002. Badly Drawn Boy deserves better 😔

30 minute album - - you love to see it. Really enjoyed this, particularly the last track featuring, of all people, David Cronenberg. Genuine LOL moments on Camera and Wink, Wink. I also like how Scorsese is navigating a difficult fart on the cover.

Cheer up Marty, it might never happen!

My post on Our Mutual Friend by the big CD 💿 Certainly one of the longest and weirdest reading experiences of my young life. Thanks for reading! kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2026/07/03/o...

On the book I’ve been reading in June: Our Mutual Friend by Charles DickensI won’t be getting back to Preston until close to midnight. I have my floppy Wordsworth Classics edition of Our Mutual Friend, and I have been making notes in purple ballpoint pen.kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com

Lazy Monday evening with Marley.

Watching Scott Pilgrim and every character that has been introduced with their name age caption card has been older than us - even the ones that seemed like the old characters when we were young. Time!!

Scarborough weekend. Because I can’t drive (legend 😉) Alice has driven coast to coast twice in as many days, so big up.

Special night seeing CMAT baby. 💶

A piece of flash fiction from last year if you want to take a look! Ghostly goings-on on the Fylde Coast.

The estuary was going, going – gone. I opened the cupboard above the sink. The tub of Sweetex was melting and pooling. It gave off something carcinogenic. Between the flames, Mum stood, anaemic, breathing slowly through her mouth. kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2025/10/21/o...

On new flash fiction: Melting in the MotherI was in the corridor when it happened, looking at the BBC News app. An image of a crater, then Joe Biden. I went back into the room. The chair in the corner, near the French windows. Outside: tree…kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com

Getting my hydration break meme in early tonight if that’s okay.
