Tom Leins Interview @ Urban Pigs Press

“Who would have thought a queasy cabal of millionaires and billionaires would fuck a country in such a dead-eyed, remorseless fashion?”

This Thursday will see the release of Hunger, a brand new charity anthology from Ipswich-based independent publisher Urban Pigs Press. The collection includes my story ‘In the Land of the Pig (The Butcher is King)’.

I’ll be sharing more details regarding the anthology later this week, but in the meantime you can check out this interview I did with Urban Pigs Press co-founder James Jenkins to promote the anthology.

“I peel the bloody dressing off my nose and drop it into the sink. Jesus. My face looks like something out of a fucking horror-show. I’ve been sticking my nose into other people’s business for longer than I can remember. Usually for money, sometimes out of sheer perversity. My latest injury – caused by deranged Albanian with a box-cutter – feels horribly apt.”

My first story of 2019 went online today: A Vulgar Display of Power. Thanks to Paul D. Brazill at Punk Noir Magazine for running it!

This one follows on from the events depicted in Repetition Kills You, and sees Joe Rey get reacquainted with his on-off lover Cherry – and a new bunch of unsavoury characters!

She also appeared in Venus In Fake Furs last year, and I’m keen to explore their warped relationship further in a future book, as she is a woman who can definitely get Rey in all kinds of trouble!
