RT @david_cameron:

RT @david_cameron: I look in the mirror. I see a confident, sexual man. My skin goes white when I press against my luscious mirror self.

RT @david_cameron: And when their backs are turned, Jeremy Cthulhunt will rise, a burning hospital on each tenticle.

RT @david_cameron: Words are just shapes. People are just ideas. That's why I bathe in cornflakes.

RT @david_cameron: No. Virgin Media are fine. I've had no problems.

RT @david_cameron: My robotic legs transmit disgusting urges through microphones. It's the metal. It's always the metal.

RT @david_cameron: I am often mistaken for Esther Rantzen. And by 'Esther' I mean 'Mr' and by 'Rantzen' I mean 'T'.

RT @david_cameron: I nuzzle Boris Johnson's hair. That's when I hear the voices.

RT @david_cameron: When I fail to come up with an anagram of 'Eton', I become deeply afraid of death.

RT @david_cameron: Melons. Melons. Look at the lovely melons.

RT @david_cameron: When I am low, the shapes in the dark remind me of my past. Tears fall silently. There is no light.

RT @david_cameron: Release the monkeys. We have no monkeys. We'll make do with string.

RT @david_cameron: I just vomited Gove all over my Johnson.

RT @david_cameron: Gaz Top isn't the one under the rockery. You're thinking of Fred Dinenage

Two-toke pass: Now Then magazine

I've got a story in the Manchester edition of Now Then magazine alongside my Flashtag cohorts.

My short piece Two-toke Pass is a sweet little wordplop about a landlord, someone's flatmate and the destruction of the entirety of existence. It's 168 words long.

It's the first Manchester edition of a magazine that started in Sheffield. Now Then Manchester also includes stuff from Manchester Mule and Manchester Scenewipe. The design, it has to be said, is proper right gorgeous.

Get your virtual hands on a copy here, or use your real hands to find a free print edition in venues across Manchester from tomorrow.

The Flashtag writers return to Didsbury Arts Festival with Word>Play

I'll be reading a new horror story at Didsbury Arts Festival on Thursday 27 September.

Word>Play is an evening of soundtracked literature, with Monkeys In Love headlining alongside prize-winning author of Enough Valerie O'Riordan. Expect amazing Powerpoint genius from Les Malheureux, Alabaster De Plume via video, the brains behind Bonbon Experiment Adrian Slatcher and my Flashtag cohorts. Plus (murmur) with an unmissable performance of Tether.

Have a look at the poster for more. It'll be our second appearance at the festival: we launched Quickies there last year.

As for my story? Here's a sentence from the first draft:

She took them all and now I lie awake listening for her return.

'She' will be revealed, complete with sinister music from my music alter-ego Hounds of Hulme, at Word>Play. It starts at 8pm on September 27 at the Albert Club in Didsbury.
