"Stunning...a bit like if you took Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Monsters Inc. and shoved them in a TARDIS." —Buzzfeed It's a tentacled, inventive, gooey, world in there. . . . Elliot Von Doppler and his friend Leslie think nothing ever happens in Bickleburgh, except inside the gleaming headquarters of DENKi-3000—the world's eighth-largest electronics factory. Beneath the glass towers and glittering skywalks, there's a rambling old mansion from which all the company's amazing inventions spring forth. And no one except Uncle Archie knows what's behind the second-to-last door at the end of the hall. Until Elliot and Leslie are invited to take a glimpse inside. They find stooped, troll-like creatures with jutting jaws and broken teeth. Tiny winged things that sparkle as they fly. And huge, hulking, hairy nonhumans (with horns). It is unlike anything they've ever seen. But when... Views: 6
What elevates 'teaching my mother how to give birth', what gives the
poems their disturbing brilliance, is Warsan Shire's ability to give
simple, beautiful eloquence to the veiled world where sensuality lives
in the dominant narrative of Islam; reclaiming the more nuanced truths
of earlier times - as in Tayeb Salih's work - and translating to the
realm of lyric the work of the likes of Nawal El Saadawi. As Rumi said,
"Love will find its way through all languages on its own"; in 'teaching
my mother how to give birth', Warsan's debut pamphlet, we witness the
unearthing of a poet who finds her way through all preconceptions to
strike the heart directly. About the author: Warsan Shire is a Kenyan-born Somali poet and
writer who is based in London. Born in 1988, she is an artist and
activist who uses her work to document narratives of journey and trauma.
Warsan has read her work internationally, including recent readings in
South Africa, Italy and Germany, and her poetry has been translated into
Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. You will find her on twitter at: @Warsan_shire Views: 6

They'd love to have you for dinner...20% Black Comedy, 30% Peril, 50% Family, 100% DeliciousSasha Savage is in love with Jack Greenway—a handsome, charming, clever... vegetarian. Which would be acceptable if it weren't for the fact that Sasha's family are very much 'carnivorous', with strong views to boot. Behind the respectable family façade all is not as it seems. Sasha's father Titus rules his clan with an iron fist, and although her mother Angelica never has a hair out of place, her credit card bills are shocking and her culinary skills are getting more... 'adventurous' by the day. As for Sasha's demonic brother Ivan? Well, after accidentally decapitating a supermodel in their family bathroom his golden boy image is looking wobbly. To the outsider the Savages might look like the perfect family, but there is more to them than meets the eye. When the too-curious private detective Vernon English starts to dig for darker truths, this tight knit family starts to... Views: 6
