New short-story collection BRIGHT DEAD STAR out from @subpress.bsky.social. As is often the case there are questions about why I chose a title. Direct inspiration was a track off Current 93's The Light Is Leaving Us All, also a line from Donna Tart's Secret History (quoted in the book). & astronomy.

i’m so sorry 😞

Color photograph of a large windmill structure flanked by bike racks at night. The Sandwich Windmill, it looks like a tall and wide wooden silo with a conical top and a huge wooden windmill attached, a ring of stone facade along the ground (with a pair of bathroom doors embedded and barely visible in shadow). Some very bright white lights shine directly down the sides of the structure while the part directly in front is unlit. There is a neon sign on the dark part, four lines of text, the top two are unlit and difficult to make out, and the words "all we were" are visible in a shining white cursive script (the whole sign reads, "all we are is all we were," difficult to make out the unlit part)

Double exposed photograph of several blossoming chamomile flowers captured in a green field. Some of them are in focus, while others are blurry. They are all overlapping with each other, creating a little pattern.

Crowd gathering at the landing of the Nidhogg (1917).
Every autumn, the Nidhogg comes back to the same beach where it was born. This is where it chooses to die. In the spring, it will emerge from the ground anew.
