Happy Paperback Publication Day to @jonnywaistcoat and FAMILY BUSINESS!

DEATH. IT’S A DIRTY BUSINESS. When Diya Burman’s best friend Angie dies, it feels like her own life is falling apart. Wanting a fresh start, she joins Slough & Sons – a family firm that cleans up after the recently deceased. Old love letters. Porcelain dolls. Broken trinkets. Clearing away the remnants of other people’s lives, Diya begins to see things. Horrible things. Things that get harder and harder to write off as merely her grieving imagination. All is not as it seems with the Slough family. Why won’t they speak about their own recent loss? And who is the strange man that keeps turning up at their jobs? If Diya’s not careful, she might just end up getting buried under the family tree. . .

'A triumph, thriving on relatable fears, hyper-realistic dirty homes, and understandable grief' - Fantasy Hive

'It completely blew me away' - FanFi Addict

'Don't read by yourself in a strange hotel room if you want to come out psychologically unscathed' - Me, specifically, learning lessons the hard way so that other people don't have to.

If you want a book that will:

Make you twitch at strange shapes outside the windows as the nights get darker

Break you in the smallest ways with the simplest observations of the meaning of humanity and love

Give you new and exciting things to be scared of that actually, on reflection, had probably always been lurking in the depths of your psyche just waiting to be called up

FAMILY BUSINESS is the book you want to grab.

I want to be permanently bloated & only getting bigger each week.. No matter how much i fart or burp, my body produces double the gas I expelled, inflating my guts more and more, constantly expanding my limits

I probably get used to my situation after some time, continuing my daily life as usual. After just a few months, i look pregnant with twins, my belly round, tight and shiny, covered with stretch marks from growing non-stop, throbbing and roaring from the constant thunderstorm of gas inside it. I pay no mind to it, it's just a regular part of who i am at this point, no need to hide it... But i certainly receive a few horrified looks every time i go shopping .. It's embarrassing, but there's nothing i can change about being such a disgusting gasbag

Strange Noises from The Hole in the Wall was SO GOOD. I want to pick it apart piece by piece and study it under a microscope. This would be a banger of an animated film. The way my heart absolutely DROPPED when Timothy/Benjamin's father ran off without recognising him and when Tim/Ben realised he didn't remember his name anymore to say it on the phone was just *incoherent noises of distress*

Anyway, this play was so creepy and terrifying and my nightmares will be plagued by The Train Entity (oof I need to write about him separately, there's so much-) and the collapsing train carriages. My head will be buzzing with deranged analyses of the themes of identity (and losing it), aimless journeys and being transformed without recognition due to the work you were absorbed into just like every single person from the generations that came before you.

my favorite thing about the "stop using your phone at full volume on public transit" posts is all the people who actually do that shit hearing tens of thousands of times how unpleasant everyone else thinks they are being. my least favorite thing is the replies complaining specifically about it "always being Rap Music" yikes

no earplugs: overstimulation

earplugs: anxiety

one earplug: worst of both worlds

tell me why i can hear another tenants fucking music from my flat. HE DOESNT EVEN LIVE IN MY BUILDING. HE LIVES IN A COMPLETELY SEPARATE BUILDING ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND I CAN HEAR HIS MUSIC FROM MY FLAT. MY FLAT WHICH IS IN A DIFFERENT SEPARATE BUILDING.

Just sitting at work trying to act normal as you fell your guts getting blown up like a balloon. Your shirt pulled tight over your tummy. you're so bloated. Trying to excuse yourself to the bathroom because if you don't let some of the gas out your gonna burst, but when you stand up, everyone just stares at your massively swollen belly. Every step to the bathroom forcing a fart out of you as your just to full to keep it all in.

Oh yes, that would've been exactly what would've happened ... My shirt ripping and exposing my bloated round gut, me still trying to waddle away to the bathroom, but failing and just leaning on the nearest wall... Clutching my overdue-pregnant looking belly with my other hand, massaging it just to force some farts out and release some pressure... The sounds my guts and ass produce are so loud, it can be heard throughout the entire office space. And still, that doesn't help at all, it seems as soon as i release some gas, the amount of it triples inside of me, and everyone around me is just shocked how can this be even possible.
