November’s flash fiction. Or if you prefer, it’s a very short story. Or maybe it’s a vignette! Any which way, it’s a quick read. Set in Edinburgh, with a mention of my favourite pub, The Jolly Judge. kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2025/11/23/o...

The Lemon Twigs must be the most frustrating band of my generation. Brilliant hooks (Brian’s especially). But they’re let down constantly by their obsession with pastiche. Can’t stick the single released today. But here’s a banger from 2020: youtu.be/1TNVOqRLBwU?...

'but Claire gathered that his monologue had evolved into being about things he liked. She knew his type.' A wonderful drollery in this vignette of a story by @kieranstories.bsky.social. A tiny slice of life that suggests so much more.
I’m trying to share a new story each month. This story was inspired by two pieces of art: Break Down by Michael Landy and Las Meninas by Velázquez. It’s very short if you want to take a look! Relaxing Sunday all. kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2025/11/23/o...

Happy birthday Doctor Who. The Mask of the Mandragora tonight. Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen at their best. Fair play to the Doctor for walking around San Martino in his scarf - must’ve been roasting. These Blu-ray sets are on sale pretty much everywhere at the moment - worth picking up imo.

Sucker for books about fictional bands. This is more about what it meant to be in a band, looking back thirty years. I liked how Pete Moran moved through the book like a ghost. His presence was felt whenever he was ‘on page’. Mark E Moon was standout. @northernmailman.bsky.social

I wanted to share something I wrote in 2018 about anchoritism. Thanks to Mike Fox for reading this a while ago, and giving me the confidence to look at it again properly. Cheers all. @polyscribe70.bsky.social kieranstorieswriter.wordpress.com/2025/11/19/o...

Found on the pavement. ‘Owner of black audi…’ There’s something masterful about the crossing out of couldn’t for didn’t.

I’ve been staying up late to watch Doctor Who recently. Finished Ghost Light tonight, which I’d never seen before, and now I’ve started Part 1 of the below. Points for anyone who knows the story.

The algorithm suggested a podcast about capitalist realism, I started to listen then the host said half the interview was hidden behind their Patreon. Turns out there is no alternative!

London's giant AI artwork to be torn down
The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

I’ve had a good run of Sunday charity shopping recently. Garry Kilworth is someone I’ve wanted to read for a while now. The nights are drawing in - time for chilling tales.
