Pedlar of different varieties of modern gothic or anthropocene noir, mostly in the form of stories and novellas that publishers shy away from, forcing me to produce weird folk-horror tragicomic podcasts.

My most recent long-form writing often blends genre novels with novels of ideas, such as Baker Street 2033: The Glass Cryptographer – in which Sherlock Holmes materialises in 2033 as a 3D ‘bioprint’, and ponders the ontology of fictional creations. It has now been released as an audiobook podcast via Acast and should be available on Spotify, Amazon Music, Google, iTunes, etc.

Also available is Dear Old Blood: Notes on a Wittgenstein Noir (2023)- a hardboiled noir based on Ludwig Wittgenstein’s life, a potential literary hoax over which two academics fight a war of authenticity.

I have been a contributor to Firmament, Shooter literary magazine, the Times Literary Supplement, Tragickal, The Tangerine magazine, 3: AM magazine, Berfrois and STORGY, and had an essay – Profundity is a Slim Volume by an Obscure European Author – and podcasts published at Minor Literature[s].

Four years ago, I was also the inaugural winner of the Verso Prize for work on the speculative aesthetics of human extinction, part of a Masters in Cultural and Critical Studies at Birkbeck, University of London; I’m still attempting to trade on this achievement. (Desperate stuff.)
