Adam Maxwell’s Fiction Lounge by Adam Maxwell

Adam’s subject matter tends towards the surreal or at least the very least weird.  His writing has been described in the press as a ‘Chandler-esque hard-boiled cocktail, stirred with equal parts humour, mystery, gut-wrenching realism, and trademark minimalism’, ‘weird, wonderful, twisted and witty’ and even ‘almost Fawlty Towers’ which is, unsurprisingly, one of his favourites.  His first book, a collection . . .

Hyperlink Your Heart by randomhuman

Until there's nothing left

Out of loneliness, or boredom, maybe, you assign a URL to your heart and share it on the forums and social networks you frequent.  The hits trickle in at first, the unusually curious trampling through, poking and prodding, unsure of what they’re seeing.  But then the links spread.  Everybody wants to see your heart, to have a role in pulling . . .

THE SPACE TURTLE

Diamond in the Rough perhaps?

Editor: Sonja Nitschke
October 1, 2008

I read the first installment of Idiosyncracy and Intrepidity and instantly fell in love.  I know I fell in love because it’s sci fi, because there are galaxies involved and shiny worms that chew wormholes through the fabric of space. 

The writing is rough because of typos/grammatical errors/writing nuances, but it [more . . .]

(S)WINE: SHORT, LEAN CUTS

Good Stuff, for Real
