Three Versions of the Dead Man
Saint Martin Brings a Dead Man to Life I’ve been neglecting to post here the latest pieces on the Dead Man as published in RIC – I also failed to meet the deadline for the March edition of RIC, first issue I haven’t contributed to in quite some time. However, the Dead Man never goes Read.

On ‘The Quadrant of the Dead Man’
My piece The Quadrant of the Dead Man has been published in the January 2022 issue of RIC Journal. Bit of a story behind this one. Last year, I wrote a Dead Man every month for RIC, January through to December. I had absolutely decided to take a break from that output and not write Read.

On ‘The Dead Man and the Drop Tower’
The pandemic continues, the Dead Man wanders on. My piece The Dead Man and the Drop Tower has been published in the April 2021 edition of the ineffable RIC Journal. With thanks, as always, to Saudamini for giving life to the Dead Man. Read.

On ‘The Dead Man’s Circumstances’
My piece The Dead Man’s Circumstances has been published in the final edition of RIC Journal for 2020. The Dead Man has again accompanied me through the year, guiding me through the madness of 2020 like Virgil. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating: I couldn’t have continued to write The Dead Man without Read.

On ‘Ueno Zoo’
Very pleased to be able to share that my piece Ueno Zoo has been published at Fugitives & Futurists, an exciting new lit journal out of the UK. Wrote this while watching nature documentaries and reading Kafka’s Lost Writings but also while holding in mind a couple of pieces I wrote a few years ago, Read.

On ‘The Dead Man’s Gift’
I’m very pleased to have a new piece in the November 2020 edition of RIC Journal titled The Dead Man’s Gift. The Dead Man buys birds, the pandemic continues: New South Wales has had eleven days with no reported community transmission of Covid, Victoria has had 20 days straight of no new cases, SA has Read.

On ‘The Dead Man’s Death’
So the Dead Man is finally dying, dies, dead… my piece The Dead Man’s Death has been published in the June 2020 edition of RIC Journal. I hope you like this one – it was a nice one to write, appeared in my head and simply needed to be set down, adjusted a little, polished Read.

On ‘Reverse Obituary’
Very pleased to say that my piece Reverse Obituary has been published in the January 2020 edition of RIC Journal. This was inspired by the desire to write an obit of sorts for Kabid and pull all the threads of his life story – i.e. pre-death and before he became The Dead Man – together; Read.

On ‘Shelly Valentine’ – an excerpt from 926 Years
So the 926 Years release officially begins with the November 2019 mail out from Sublunary Editions, on the way to subscribers now. The November letter takes a cut called ‘Shelly Valentine’ from the book I co-wrote with Kyle Coma-Thompson. Should give you an idea of the vibe of the thing and the games Kyle and Read.
