My short story, Saint Stephen Street is now available to read online at the wonderful Ideomancer, with it’s gorgeous new website, in their current issue – Vol.9 Issue 2. It’s a story of fading memories, a dusty apocalypse, and the fragility of friendships. You can read it here – Saint Stephen Street.
Very pleased to see this one published. The first of the Edinburgh Street Tales, and hopefully the first of many.
Inicidentally, I had dinner on Saint Stephen Street last night, in a new-ish restaurant called ‘The Saint‘, on the trendy, non-windy bit of the street. All I’ll say is, their chocolate spring rolls with white chocolate and raspberry sauce are a tiny little miracle that will make your eyes pop out.

Ace! I’m going to go and read it now.
Oh yeah – *that* story. I remember it well from OWW. It is brilliant, Ilan. So sad. Really moving. I love how you focus on this one domestic setting as the world is falling apart. Clever, beautiful, very very sad.
Thanks, Georgina. And I liked the little bit of artwork they did alongside it. I wasn’t expecting that.
I’ve just noticed a lot of google ads keep appearing on these individual posts above the comments, which I’m not happy about at all. Must find a way to excise them.
Just read it. Great story, moving and brilliantly written.
Thanks, Westy. Glad you enjoyed it.
Really enjoyed reading Saint Stephen Street. Looking forward to working my way through your older published works.
Thanks Chris. It is quite different from some of the stuff I’ve published previously, but hopefully representative of what I’m writing these days.
