A little while ago, a woman gave out about blackout poetry (erasure poetry) on Twitter, and people got mad at her. I’ve since started making my own. Below was my first attempt, having only the barest familiarity with them and having never done one before. This weekend will see the launch of my first chapbook…
After a weekend of not looking at the Internet, I found out on Monday that Limit Break Comics has been nominated for Best Publisher in the European Science Fiction Society Hall of Fame Awards! Nominees are selected by members from that country, which means the Irish nominators saw fit to put us forward! Check out…
On the back of my press release for Fractured Realms, Katy from All About Books reached out to see if I’d do an interview! We spoke about the creation of Limit Break Comics, the anthologies, and my Shelf Life. You can listen to it here: https://www.mixcloud.com/1032DublinCityFM/all-about-books-23rd-march-2023/ It feels very strange to be included in the highlights for…
I’ll likely have a big ol’ proper update on the Limit Break Comics website soon enough about the convention, but here’s the short version. First, the Friday-night table set-up: We really do need two tables to properly space everything out, but given how much material we have with our names on it – from Cupán…
The other big news I have this week is about Dublin Comic Con. I’ve already said I’ll be there, but now I can reveal that Limit Break Comics has two panels lined up for it! I need a proper map, but in the meantime… there I am: Now, onto the panels! The Octocon crowd (who…
It took some going, but we did it – Fractured Realms is now on Kickstarter! The campaign launched seven hours ago, and we’re already at €2,013. Absolute madness. You can check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/paulcarroll/fractured-realms-a-norse-horror-anthology The early-bird pricing on the book lasts for a week. And hey, I can finally show off all the extras. (I didn’t have…
Over the weekend, myself, the rest of the Limit Break crowd, and my twin brother made our way to the convention centre for Dublin Comic Con. It’s only the second such show in three years, so we’re still getting used to the idea of being around people. Returning to Comic Con properly after all this…
Thanks to my limited budget for most of the last two years, I haven’t gotten to make a lot of new comics (because paying artists is expensive, but I won’t let anyone work for free). We launched everything from during the pandemic in March. So now… we’re making some zines! I’ve been working on a…
The big news as far as publications is concerned is that I’ve had a short story accepted into Volume 3 of the Dark Side of Purity, a zine of poetry and comics that’ll be distributed digitally to the 400+ backers of the Kickstarter. My story is called The To-Do of Hoodoo, and deals with much darker…
If you hang around Twitter enough, you’ll see calls for pitches to comic anthologies quite a bit. One such anthology is Amongst the Stars, a sci-fi romance anthology. The selection for 2022 was announced a few days after the last newsletter. Check it out! Did you see it? I got in! Myself and James Killian are…
