I’m thrilled to see small presses recognised in this way. They continue to be an avenue for strange, uncompromising, dangerous and unwieldy literature and in a climate that threatens a slow asphyxiation of the arts are more important than ever.

LEECH MOOCH POOCH Tins shudder in the cupboards when the leech mooch taps her lined knuckles on my door, walls so thin the bumps carry in the plaster, making flakes on my shit, the dinky possessions I’ve squirrelled…

Have a piece up at the mighty Apocalypse Confidential @apconmag.bsky.social. “Leech Mooch Pooch”. Originally appeared at Silent Auctions. Glad this freaky one has found a suitable home. apocalypse-confidential.com/2026/02/13/l...
