The Moment's Finally Here...MY PODCAST!!!

Oh.

Emm.

Gee.

No, not the first three words out of my mouth usually, and I appreciate that hasn't been, like, dude, used since Clueless. But I'm excited, and it's all because my Thank Book For Podcast and readings are finally up and posted!

I'm not going to ramble on here, because the work is there to be heard, but if you want a super fun yankee doodle happy mister fun time, click on the first link to get taken to the Thank Book For podcast starring yours truly:

Chris Stanley's Thank Book For Podcast

EXTRA, EXTRA!

You lucky people also get something for nothing, or as I like to say, Deep New Something. And it's doubleplusgood, folks, because not only do you get to hear an exclusive extract from my forthcoming book The Sad Club (with accompanying notes):





"This is a teaser chapter from my current project, a novel called The Sad Club. It's the story of four men who plot their revenge against their old school bully. In this reading, from early in the novel, we introduce Sam, a simple, naive boy who is finding the transition to big school difficult, and show you what he can expect from the soon-to-be notorious Paul Tiler. A number of incidents from my own schooling inform this project."

You also get a brand NEW, never been heard before short story from my collection 'Silver and Gold', called 'The North Korea Supporter's Club':





"Love can make us do funny things, but desperation's almost as potent. I know from my own experiences of dating that we often read things into people which we only see ourselves. The North Korea Supporter's Club is the story of Kim, a man aching for love but with zero confidence. A one-way spark of attraction turns to something more sinister as Kim lapses into fantasy about the intimacy he craves. This is part of a collection called 'Silver and Gold'."

That's free. For nothing. Gratis. Zero squared.

Gee, baby, ain't I good to you?

Please give me a follow at @chrisstanley1 on Twitter, or on Googleplus, or just comment below and let me know what you think. And join the orderly queue for first usage rights!

Enjoy!

"We Don't Want to Give Anybody Sleepless Nights": Revisiting 'Ghostwatch'

Image
Lights explode and the studio is plunged into demonic darkness. The souls manning the telephone lines have long since vanished, leaving only  Mike Smith ’s panicked requests after his wife's welfare. Papers whip across the screen, caught in a maelstrom of malevolence. Watches attached to wrists hundreds of miles away have come to a dead stop, and there have been multiple reports of inanimate objects tearing themselves from surfaces and throwing themselves across rooms all across the land. The people of Great Britain watch entranced as Michael Parkinson , controlled by some force that earlier in the evening he’d foolishly dismissed, sleepwalks beyond the camera’s lens, muttering a nursery rhyme. Yes, the BBC has paid heavily for messing with the supernatural alright, and on Hallowe’en , of all nights. Samhain ; the night the divide between the living and the dead is gossamer thin. Sarah Greene has passed through a doorway of her own, until this night just a cupboard beneath the sta

My Christmas Presents, 1991-99

Image
With it being Christmas Day tomorrow, and with the two years we’ve all had, nostalgia might well be the key ingredient gracing the dinner table in people’s houses. Christmas is a time for creating memories, good or bad, and you can guarantee that whatever the weather there will be smiles, tears, arguments and people going over the top about that Nando’s gift set which will be next seen in the window of the local Blue Cross . After having a lovely memory of Christmas 1990 published in Museum Of Jerseys , it dusted off a few memories of the next few Yuletides, and so I thought I’d put all my nineties Christmases together to see if there was a thread - a Christmas ribbon, if you will. If you won’t, well, sod you - you’re the one reading when you ought to be wrapping. Enjoy! 1991 - Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Action Figures I think I grew up in the Golden Age of action figures. At the age of ten I had caught the tail-end of Star Wars merchandising, which was such a big money-spinner

Mad As Hell

So, welcome back to my world. It’s debatable whether or not it’s better than the real world, but trust me, I wouldn’t have voted for him, so there’s that. People use the phrase “in a perfect world”, but it seems like 2016 was fuckin’ Nirvana compared to the shitshow this year is looking to be. Naturally, I’m back online to spread a little sunshine on proceedings, because my Smiths blog went really well (sample review: ‘you’re talking shit’). There are people better qualified and give a toss more than me about international politics. The Falklands Conflict was memorably described by Jorge Luis Borges as being “like two bald men fighting over a comb”, and the world has become a more spiteful and petulant place since the chilliest days of the Cold War. All I can say is that historically you don’t know you’ve lived through a crisis until you see it on a documentary. I watched some Channel 5 thing about 1990 the other day; turns out it was full of barricades, resignations and civil d
