"a pack of mead sodden braggarts," the Man in Black and other brief tales

Glad to report some writing has surfaced in the North of Ireland, a place once thought to be the edge of the world and now known only as "norn irn" to the half-crazed natives. The Derry-based Guildhall Press have published the Wonderful World of Worders, edited by Jenni Doherty, which features (amongst others) several short short stories of mine about zombies, botched kidnappings and train travel.
Also in Doire-based idle ramblings, there's a review of Vivian Cash's I Walked The Line about her life with the late great Johnny in the stone cold quality Verbal Magazine (expertly helmed by Catherine McGrotty).
As if any excuse were needed, over to JC -
