Bodies of Water by V.H. Leslie6/7/2023 This is Leslie’s debut novel, or novela perhaps. I’m currently studying for my PhD in English and Creative Writing at the University of Chichester. My novel Bodies of Water, hailed a “feminist ghost story” was published by Salt Publishing and has just been translated into French. James and Shirley Jackson and was nominated for both the World Fantasy Award and the British Fantasy Award. My debut short story collection Skein and Bone garnered comparisons to M.R. I won the Lightship First Chapter Prize in 2013 and was a finalist for the 2014 Shirley Jackson Award in the category of novelette. I’m a Hawthornden Fellow and was recently awarded a place at the Saari Institute in Finland, where I was researching Nordic myth and folklore. My short stories have appeared in a range of speculative publications, including Black Static, Interzone and Shadows and Tall Trees and have been reprinted in a range of “Year’s Best” anthologies. I like stories that are driven by setting and those that make connections to other texts, to mythology, folklore and art. I enjoy reading and writing fiction that focuses on psychological issues and perspectives, that blurs boundaries or takes place within liminal or marginal spaces. Although I always knew that I wanted to write fiction, it was only recently that I began in earnest. I taught English A Level for a number of years and I still write academic articles for a range of literary publications. I came to books early and enjoyed them so much that I’ve spent the best part of my life studying them.

Habibi craig thompson review6/5/2023 After all, comics are for little kids, right? He attributes his early affinity for comics to this. The only medium that wasn’t censored were comics. Since childhood, almost every piece of media he consumed was carefully filtered, from movies to music. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about the author.Ĭraig Thompson was once a rural Wisconsin small-town boy raised in a highly conservative Christian family. But I can compare and synthesize what other critics - better qualified critics - have said, and use that to build a personal, informed opinion that absolutely should not be taken seriously. I’m neither from the Middle East nor some kind of comics connoisseur. It’s a story with so much character diversity, aesthetic beauty, and emotional value… but many consider it problematic. I’ve been avoiding talking about this graphic novel.
