This went up on the Patreon last week for subscribers, and went up on iTunes and Spotify not long after. It a podcast in theme of earlier episodes: exploring the gulf between a novel and its film adapation (in this case, The Shining) and what it is that Horror does. There’s some loud mike action… Read More Shallow & Pedantic 4: We All Shine On

Unnamed Journal Singles Collection
I’ve started doing the layout work. One of the things we’ve used UJ for is world-building. I’ve created some shorts in a fantasy world, Cevalon, that I conceived long ago. I’ve sketched out a space opera universe as well, under the tentative title “Gods of the Sky”. And there’s the Drunk Vampire Hunter stories, and… Read More Unnamed Journal Singles Collection

Current Writing Progress
I’m somewhat stalled in a Western novella, but making slow progress. I’ve started outlining (!) a fantasy novel, but I haven’t committed to starting on it yet. The fifth Chapter of the The Meditations of Caius Caligulia is going well, and will be in the next issue of Unnamed Journal. UJ is going to be next-levelling pretty… Read More Current Writing Progress
The New Year For Unnamed Journal
Unnamed Journal has finished four volumes and is about to start its fifth. It’s gotten into a nice steady rhythm now. I enjoy the process of creating it. Short fiction and essays are always a challenge worth grappling with. But it wouldn’t be UJ if we weren’t thinking about how we could improve it. A couple… Read More The New Year For Unnamed Journal
Fantasy Maps and Cevalon
There’s an entire subculture of fantasy map-making and world-building, because Tolkein and Gygax together hammered into the genre of epic fantasy literature and gaming the need for a world to have an all-encompassing backstory, including a theogyny. I’ve been farting around with a fantasy world of my own devising, known as Cevalon, since I was… Read More Fantasy Maps and Cevalon
New Pumpkin Spice Unnamed Journal!
It’s obligatory to do Seasonal-themed issues of a lit mag, and as much as I enjoy bucking trends, I also enjoy bucking the need to buck trends, because contrarianism knows no bounds. This is one of our longer issues, as one of the four pieces is a radio script, and the other is almost 7,000… Read More New Pumpkin Spice Unnamed Journal!
