Agony Pages

Last week, Nadir Books published David Senior's 'Agony Pages,' a short story (maybe, 6500 words) detailing one man's descent into perversion and body horror through the pages of an old S&M magazine.

The blurb as it appears on Amazon reads,

"An expectant father tracks down a semi-mythical underground porn magazine, knowing full well that its grisly contents may damn him forever. A perverse hybrid of body horror, Lovecraft, and obscure pornography, from the author of The Sinners of Crowsmere."

Very loosely keeping with the 'monsters and magazines' theme: also included is the mini-collection 'Famous Monsters of Filmland,' seven pieces of ultra-micro flash fiction (between 10 - 100 words each).

The Sinners of Crowsmere: A Fractured Novella

Several weeks ago, Nadir Books published its first ebook: David Senior's 'The Sinners of Crowsmere: A Fractured Novella.'

The blurb on its Amazon page reads thus:

"A man is released from prison and returns to his coastal home town. Broken figures inhabit a decaying landscape. Curses and crows haunt the air.

As influenced by the transgressive writings of Dennis Cooper and Derek McCormack as the East Anglian ghost stories of M R James, The Sinners of Crowsmere is a bleakly skeletal novel about erosion, misogyny, folklore, old photographs, and half-remembered films."

Now, blurbs can of course be hideously misleading things, but hopefully this does  give a sense of the book's approach and atmosphere.  Illustrated with haunting black and white photography and of a meandering, uncertain nature, 'Sinners' is stark - flirting with horror and the avant-garde yet never fully embracing either.

'The Sinners of Crowsmere' can be found here:
