Justine Sweeney

Thank-you @bloodhoneylit.bsky.social for publishing this wee story!

Thank-you @thecitronreview.bsky.social I'm delighted to have a wee Belfast story in this issue 😀

Christmas ’Lights, where one of our Trash Family tell you which anthology story they loved, and why. Lucienne Cummings, author of God Plays Marbles, highlights Thin Place by Justine Sweeney.

Our charity anthology authors share the love!

"In Thin Place, a reluctant traveller comes to a place where times and memories bleed into one another. Lyrical and evocative."

Such a powerful story, Kate! Congrats on getting this one published! 🤩🥳

A textured dark grey background with white text centered on the image. The title reads 'Field Observations Made During an Alien Abduction.' Below is a quote: 'The alien cries into my hair. I wonder if he remembers doing the things that put me in hospital; his body caging mine against the bed until I couldn’t breathe.' The quote is attributed to Kate Horsley, whose name appears at the bottom. The overall tone is stark and unsettling, suggesting themes of trauma and metaphorical alienation.

'Field Observations Made During an Alien Abduction' by Kate Horsley / @katehorsleywriter.bsky.social is not what it seems. A piercing metaphor for trauma, control, and survival.
