"Surreal-Absurd" selections in Mercurius!

Thank you, Marcus Slease, for featuring my work in the Jupiter Project for Mercurius, an arts, literary & current affairs magazine.

”I like to surprise my reader and myself as I write. To do that, I have to set up a familiar situation on the page in which expectations are clear, then subvert those expectations. To zag instead of zig. Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it's weird and creepy and feels like a ghost is typing through me.”

Mercurius Magazine was founded in May 2020, with the aim of connecting writers, artists, and thinkers under the loose themes of “transformation” and “vitality”. The idea was to create a meeting place for an eclectic range of voices, to be relevant and look for common ground in an age of fragmented discourses, cultural over-production, perpetual crisis, atomisation and hyper-specialisation.
