Sinossi

'I do not have a future, and I do not want dreams. My dreams are stories, written by a machine.
And I will not think of her.'
Luke Kierley has visited the writer and asked it to exorcise from him all memory of her. Now he has no idea who she was and he must try to find a way to live with a bleeding hole in his memory.
Told in a unique voice that recalls southern gothic, classic horror, and frontier literature, Writer is like nothing you have read before. JM Burgoyne's debut brings her virtuosic voice alive in a striking and unforgettable meditation on free-will, love, and the lengths we'll go to avoid pain.

Jody Cooksley

London, 1873. Madeleine Brewster's marriage to Dr Lucius Everley was meant to be the solution to her family's sullied reputation. After all, Lucius is a well-respected collector of natural curiosities. His 'Small Museum' of bones and specimens in jars is his pride and joy, although firmly kept under lock and key. His sister Grace's philanthropic work with fallen women is also highly laudable. 
 
However, Maddie soon finds herself unwelcome in what is meant to be her new home. The more she learns about both Lucius and Grace, the more she suspects that unimaginable horrors lie behind their polished reputations. 
 
Framed for a crime that would take her to the gallows and leave the Everleys free to continue their dark schemes, Maddie's only hope is her friend Caroline. She will do anything to prove Maddie's innocence before the trial reaches its fatal conclusion.

The Act Of Killing God - A Short...

Michael van der Voort

To stand opposite your own grave is a strange and deeply unnerving experience. I did it first at eleven years old, with my parents standing either side of me, Mother holding tightly onto my hand as Father intoned with brutal nonchalance the words, “This is where we buried you.”To see the name, your name, carved into granite and marble, gouged into the stone with chisel-edged finality, is enough to chill the blood to the same temperature as the slab. It is a leaden declaration for all the world to read that once you did exist, but now, now you do not.Still, it is not a unique experience. I read once that both...
