The Erotica of Cruelty & Stories of the Body Without Organs
Recently, I’ve been reading a quite a lot of stuff by two French thinkers: Antonin Artaud and Gilles Deleuze. Admittedly, reading the French can be a chore (if you’re not French) not only because I get the feeling that often their translators had one hell of a time trying to translate the ideas and concepts […]
These Lips
These lips kissed the feet of Christ. Gave life to the verses of dead poets. Fed blind and unweaned kittens. Whispered secrets into deaf ears. Begged forgiveness of an absent god. Drew smoke from the last cigarette after midnight. Wore your favourite shade of red. Kiss them.
Ice: Forty Feet Thick
Great tusks curl triumphant beneath the ice. Lying on her side where fate took her and the cold holds her now. Cruelly frozen in the act of being an anachronism, an evolutionary joke. All her drives and instincts, every foolish desire fixed in the permafrost. The pitiless antisepsis of time allows neither rot nor erosion, […]
Writer as Reader & the Art of Critiquing
I get a lot of people sending me stories and asking me to read them and give them feedback. This is something I used to do frequently when I was an active member on the ERWA storytime list. It’s been more than a year since I’ve really participated and, although I do miss the give […]
Narrative Violence: Movie Review: Antichrist by Lars Von Trier
I was reading Tony Comstock‘s post “Do you want to be put in the same category as Alfred Kinsey, Max Hardcore, or Catherine Briellat?â€: The limits of sexual expression in an algorithmic world.” in which he reported that, Matinee, a film that depicts actual sexual intercourse between actors was, essentially, refused entry at an Australian […]
‘Hurt Me Good’ by RedBud @ The Erotic Writer
I am totally lacking in grace when in comes to accepting compliments. I’m at a loss as to how to respond appropriately. However, I can’t let this particular compliment go unacknowledged; it would be simply unforgivable to let it go. Will Crimson (RedBud) has written a story called ‘Hurt Me Good‘, which he says was […]
In Other News
In other news… I have had the distinct pleasure of being interviewed by PopSyndicate writer Alex Hambly. The interview goes into quite a bit of detail about my process as a writer, and how I became one. I have been, to my surprise, accused of mysteriousness. Well, if you’ve spent any time on my blog, […]
I Waited for You By The River of Time
I waited for you by the river of time but you didn’t come. Is it impolite to fuck someone because I’m sad and tired of being sad? I don’t know. Perhaps it is. But the rain has started and it’s a long way back to my hotel. His is closer and more expensive. He’s middle […]
The Fourth Kiss
Some of you may remember that a while back I posted a piece of flash fiction called Three Kisses. Mols Erotica (you can follow on twitter @mols_erotica ) has offered one more. Read more of Mols on his/her site at http://www.myownlovestory.com I trapped you, in a deathly game of cat and mouse… My tongue leading […]
One Word – A Parable
This is going to be the last piece of crap I post on this blog for a while. I don’t want to post anymore op ed pieces spouting my opinion on stuff. I don’t want to post anymore shitty fragments of garbage. I have to get my head back on straight and write good erotic […]
