First book of the year finished and it's a belter. Probably missed some of the references and literary gags but made up for it by picking up the ATV, Crass and Poison Girls lines

Thrilled to hear you enjoyed it. Couldn’t help putting those references in!

Many of you will have seen this before but the first fiction i ever had in physical print was this xmas ghost story in 2022, republished the year after online w/thanks to @andrewgallix.bsky.social at the legendary 3:AM magazine 🙏🖤

Here’s my review of @andrewgallix.bsky.social’s wonderfully irreverent debut novel, Loren Ipsum, in the print edition of today’s @theguardian.com

Delighted to announce that MALC’S BOY by Shaun Wilson will be @conduitbooks.bsky.social’s first title! Coming April 2026.

Loren Ipsum uses a murder premise to satirize vanity, pretension, and performative culture among contemporary writers, critics, and literary scenesters.

Loren Ipsum by Andrew Gallix review – chronically funny satire of the literary scene Full of word games, in-jokes and grisly murders, this debut pours gleeful scorn on the pretensions of contemporary literary life

“It has a nimble wit and a punk rock attitude that is wholly addictive. Destined, as they say, to become a cult classic.” @judecook.bsky.social’s dream review of Loren Ipsum

Loren Ipsum is, by a wide margin, the most enjoyable novel I've read all year. Here's my review of @andrewgallix.bsky.social's mordantly witty debut in the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...

Thanks so much, Dan!

Great review of @andrewgallix.bsky.social Loren Ipsum from @judecook.bsky.social
He captures the utter fun that comes from reading this novel.

“It is brimful with puns, literary references, and exuberant humour, some sophisticated, some Carry On double entendres. Its elective affinities are as much with Beerbohm and Waugh as with Joyce and Proust”
