Huge thanks to Joe Darlington from Manchester Review of Books for this lovely review of Things Grown Distant. Available to pre-order now, all pre-orders come with 3 postcard sized prints. confingopublishing.uk/shop "There’s a kind of twilight power in the prose. It is refreshing to read. Satisfying. It is therefore hard to write about this book without doing it an injustice. Summarising the stories, reducing them to plot, would flatten them beyond recognition. To try and pick out samples of the prose and present them like baroque jewels, however, would also miss the point. The final effect is not to be found in a sample, but rather as a result of the whole process of reading. One has to engage with the whole book to feel it working." manchestereviewofbooks.wordpress.com/2024/10/15/the-reality-of-the-moment Nicholas Royle #MikeFox #NicholasRoyle #shortstorycollection #newrelease #indiepublishing #confingo #bookstagram #booksofinstagram
