I’ve got a new story in an anthology of historical crime fiction: And All Our Yesterdays (Darkhouse Books). Check it out!

One of my stories, “Gesprek Nonstop,” was published in the latest issue of Siren, a zine specializing in experimental art. The issue features plenty of unusual and adventurous work, ranging from poetry to photography, and I’m pleased to be included in it. Check it out here.

Helsinki Noir, a collection of crime stories set in Helsinki, is available in both English (Akashic Books) and Finnish (Like).

My contribution is “The Silent Woman”, a satirical tale that takes the most prototypical noir storyline imaginable (a femme fatale, a fall-guy loser and murder for money) and transplants it to Helsinki. I wanted to see what would happen if you were to play out that age-old story in the Finnish social environment. It’s mainly an excuse for dark culture-clash comedy, as the narrator is a self-absorbed, self-pitying Brit. The reviews are all over the place, as could be expected, with one newspaper reviewer selecting it as one of the best of the collection and another singling it out as one of the worst.

I’ve been slow to post about Helsinki Noir due to the death of the editor, James Thompson. RIP, good buddy.
