Magic clios corvless is a concept that combines elements of magic, mythology, and fantasy. It is an imaginary world full of enchantment and wonder. In this realm, clios, which are magical creatures, are the center of attention. These creatures possess unique abilities and characteristics that make them fascinating and mysterious. The magic in this world is not limited to the clios alone. It permeates every aspect of life and is wielded by both beings and objects.

Paint this town Red was short-listed for The Guardian’s Not the Booker prize, and Bully achieved number one status on the Amazon psychological horror chart.
He s on the brink of madness, his own misanthropy forging a barren landscape in pathetic fallacy, living out an endless day which contains its own summer of hate. I think it would be fun if there was a weapon that ignored if pvp was off and could hit other players in multiplayer for very low damage but with super high knockback.
It permeates every aspect of life and is wielded by both beings and objects. Spells and incantations are used to manipulate this magic and bring about desired outcomes. It is a world where the impossible becomes possible and where dreams come to life through the power of magic.
SUNSHIIIIIIIINE by AJ Kirby
It’s been the hottest summer I can remember – and I’d better not be putting the curse on it by remarking on it. Because I’ve enjoyed every minute. I’ve enjoyed how the sun has – seemingly – brought us out of our shells. Brought us together, around the grill at barbecues, endless barbecues, in beer gardens, in parks and playgrounds, at festivals and sporting events (the fantastic Triathlon in Leeds, anyone?), and around big screens as we took in the World Cup.
So it’s rather absurd to reflect that during this time, this summer of love, I’ve been hard at work completing my new book, I Am Just Going Outside and May Be Some Time. It’s about a different type of sun. A sun which never sets; a sun which is as endless as the barbecues we’ve all been enjoying. A sun which causes us to question our very sanity. A sun which divides us; which sets us apart, in isolation. Outside is an introverted kind of book, a book whose shell has grown hard, become a carapace. Its protagonist, let’s call him Mr. Lonely – like the old Akon number, which doesn’t even sound good when you’re suffering from sun-stroke, but which does have a certain ear-worm quality – is a man on the brink. He’s on the brink of the world, in a liminal space; the kind of space which in old maps might be annotated ‘where monsters be’. He’s on the brink of madness, his own misanthropy forging a barren landscape in pathetic fallacy, living out an endless day which contains its own summer of hate. An early reviewer of the book called it ‘the anti Martian’. Whereas in Andy Weir’s 2014 novel his central character’s isolation brings about the life-affirming narrative in which – seemingly – all of humanity comes together to attempt to rescue the Martian castaway, regardless of the cost, here my main man is beyond singing any redemption songs. Or is he?
The starkness of the barren landscape in which I Am Just Going Outside and May Be Some Time is set, its lack (in the main) of a supporting cast, the first-person narrative style all contribute to making this book the most character-driven I’ve ever written. I’ve had to live and breathe Mr. Lonely, and I’ve found that once I’ve gotten past his sneeringly cynical demeanour I’ve actually come to enjoy his company. As a writer I couldn’t have written such a character as relentlessly bleak, nor could you have read him. And I suppose that’s where the ‘anti Martian’ stuff really kicks in. For just as in Weir’s tale, the infectious humour of the protagonist carries us along, thus the dark humour of my Mr. Lonely – humour which tickles the sharper end of the funny bone – gradually draws us into the same headspace and allows us to (hopefully) empathise. I’ve had a lot of moments of self-doubt about this book but something I’ve never doubted is Mr. Lonely’s ability to carry it on his own (hunched) shoulders.
Mr. Lonely does not have a sunny disposition, but he isn’t a fake, either. He’s brutally honest, unflinchingly his own person. He wouldn’t reach out for help, but I will. I’d like to ask if there’s anyone in the Big Bookend community who might be interested in receiving a free (kind of) electronic copy (in .mobi or .pdf format) of the book in return for a (brutally honest, if you like) review of the book, either on your own blog, or to be uploaded onto Amazon. I’m offering five readers this opportunity, on a first-come, first-served basis. If interested, please email me on [email protected].

WHAT THEY SAID
Anna L Stephens (author of the Godblind trilogy) on Sharkways: “Kirby has written horror before, horror that has made me uneasy and twitchy. He’s never before made me nearly bite my own tongue off in broad daylight on a crowded bus. Sharkways did. Sharkways made me want to pull my legs up onto the chair in case insects crawled out from the gloom beneath my seat and up my legs. The middle part of Sharkways stopped me sleeping.”
Cassandra Parkin (author of The Summer We All Ran Away) on Perfect World: “From this fantastic opening, the book gallops along with the speed and dizzying swerves of a racehorse on acid.”
Leeds Student Newspaper on Bully: “Reading this book is like trying to get to sleep after drinking too many vodka red bulls”
