Out now: THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR, my uncategorisable novella out about Ru, a 'boy from nowhere' growing up in 90s/00s Calcutta, facing the impossibility that his family may be migrants from another reality, & Alice, a neighbour from Chinatown who is pulled close to their secrets. Links below:
ICYMI, my mythic realist novella about a boy coming of age in an extended family who may refugees from another reality, in a house in Calcutta that may be a dragons' nest. It won a British Fantasy Award and a Subjective Chaos Kind of Award, if that affects one's inclination to read it:

I like it when filmmakers just drop any subtlety or discretion and let a whole scene just be an AMV.
Movies are for Tony Leung at his most suicidal committing egregious acts of human evil while Radiohead Creeps their Creep, and do not let anyone tell you fucking otherwise.

It’s one of the most challenging parts of writing fiction: your characters can know things you don’t know, but they can’t know all the things you don’t know you don’t know.
I love Manhunter/Red Dragon but I’ll never get over the part where they show the hanzi for “middle” and everybody is like “oh yeah that means red dragon actually”

Obscure YT of the day: Abel Ferrara's still not released in the U.S. MARY (2005). Sort of AF's response to PASSION OF THE CHRIST. Juliette Binoche, Forest Whitaker, Matthew Modine, Heather Grahm, Marion Cotillard, Stefania Rocca star. Good stuff!

Seeing Americans who are border-brained and dismiss this stuff as 'foreign' interference is so funny.
Who do you think pays for such work? It's Americans.
It's no more 'fake' and no less 'American' than y'all using cheap outsourced Asian labor for your publishing, animation, or VFX work, etc.

The reactions to this Location feature on Twitter are funny to me in that, it's very amusing to me that anyone with common sense thought America or Europe could get anything done without cheap outsourced African and Asian labour.
Including mass-propagation of racismo and hate lol.
