Enfilades

My twelfth collection of short stories, "Enfilades", was published earlier this year by Raphus Press, however I've just realised I hadn't blogged about it before now. This mini-collection of six stories is a career retrospective of hand-picked tales from my previously published work. As Raphus Press are based in Brazil it seemed a good idea to showcase some of my stories for a different market. Hopefully anyone reading these tales will seek out my other fiction.



The book contains my first published story, "Pussycat" (which originally appeared in the Barrington Books anthology, The Science of Sadness in 1994) right up to "The Enfilade" (published in Black Static in 2023, and reprinted in Best New Horror #16). The other stories are all favourites of mine: "Old Factory Memories", "The Day My Heart Stood Still", "Vole Mountain" and "Drowning In Air". I would describe these as 'slipstream' stories - a genre that defines me.




Published in hardback with some beautiful interior images, purchase information for "Enfilades" can be found on the Raphus Press website.
