Paul

I am a Brummie living in Northampton who loves to write but gets distracted with other things. I enjoy horror/fantasy and anything that provokes original thought.

My literary heroes are Clive Barker, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft. Everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .

I have work published by AlienBuddha Press, Loft Books, BlackBough Poems, DarkWinter Literary Magazine and Paragraph Planet.

The relocation of demons

Posted on Wed, 12 Jul 2023

The relocation of demons elsewhere made me think of the refugee crisis.. And the Dark Materials trilogy. It feels like there's a few metaphors circling in this particular story. Enjoyed and it made think. Which is good.
