Given Andy's track record I am in no way surprised to see REMAINS has been publishing some of IMO the best prose stylists working in genre, including @giselleleeb.bsky.social and @seanbirnie.bsky.social

And off it goes, Charlotte Tierney’s Personal Anthology, as aloof and detached as a sleep-walker, going faster than the snail, watching the livestream of the goldfinch, staying in the aquarium of the Jardin des Plantes for hours, bellowing for the dog, twisting and snorting...

An Animal Personal Anthology, by Charlotte Tierney

Animals might be considered, broadly, unsophisticated and unremarkable, while also being cosmically bananas, like the rest of the natural world.

My latest book is Rebel Sounds: Music as Resistance. It's a social history of the twentieth century but one that takes in the human impulse to create, share and enjoy the one thing that connects cultures and spans generations: music. It's out in America next week! uk.bookshop.org/p/books/rebe... (2)
