Snowfall mixes with burning ash

Tim Murphy reviews To An Occupier Burning Holes by Ken Evans (Salt, 2022)

Murderous parrots eat souls

Richie McCaffery reviews Mouth of Shadows by Tim Murphy (SurVision Books, 2022)

Tim Murphy reviews The Barman by Helen Bowell (Bad Betty Press, 2022)
Some white text on a bright blue background, the text is a small part of the words "Notes from the North".

Bullets, grenade-shards, mortar casings and barricades

Tim Murphy reviews Notes from the North by Suji Kwock Kim (Smith|Doorstop, 2022)
