It's high time you were introduced to the lovely Inés G. Labarta; a writer from Madrid who now resides in the North West of England and lectures at Lancaster University. She's published six books, including a middle-grade trilogy with Spanish press Edebé, a novel with Blackwater Press called 'The Three Lives of St. Ciáran', and numerous short stories featured in a variety of publications. WHAT HAS SUNK MAY RISE is inspired by her own experiences grappling with the obscure governance of academia, living a precarious existence, seeking stability in one contract after another. Her influences include Murata, Enríquez, Miéville and Schweblin, and her interest in horror stems from its ability to dismantle the status quo. You can read Inés' latest story and the work of eleven other emerging writers in MOTIVES UNKNOWN - a crime anthology featuring Northern voices and Northern writers. Link in bio!
