My irreverent writing explores the weirdness of living in a body under capitalism, employing playful yet biting satire as a cheeky audit of the macabre. Guided by the mercurial impulse to provoke and piss-take, I tackle class, the body, death, greed and neoliberalism.

I draw on Western history and mythology as a means of interrogation, destruction and reform; I mix Arthurian mythology with unionism, alchemy with body horror. Formally, I am inspired by postmodernism, bricolage and the act of pastiche; textually, I play with short-form writing and genre-bending, undefinable works. I draw reference from authors such as Charles Dickens, Terry Pratchett and Voltaire, as well as playwrights Harold Pinter and Samuel Beckett, forming worlds governed by knowable rules in unknowable configurations.

I believe that now, more than ever, we need art to resist absorption into the current class structure; my work aims to bring glibness and merry rage to the patronising business of the neoliberal world order. I am currently working on The Librarian of the Second City, a science-fantasy novel that explores death, time and the politics of who gets to make art.
