Segueixo actualitzant Zenodot.app amb bases de dades internacionals i fent créixer el corpus (en breu espero poder explicar les noves xifres). Avui, per exemple, m’ha dit que "La pesanteur et la grâce” no existia en català/valencià; fals negatiu. Una vegada més, @fragmentaed.bsky.social no falla.
I’m on paper. Dark Horses Magazine #51. One of mine is inside. It’s on Amazon.
Four months ago I asked a simple question: has this book been translated into my language? No one tracks this. Not ISBN. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries. So I built Zenòdot. Yesterday, it exploded here. Today, Michael Cader wrote about it in Publishers Lunch. Thank you all. Zenodot.app
101. No fireworks, no giveaways. Just more stories from the dark side of the sea. Thank you for taking a seat.
Today I’ve seen this live in Barcelona. I can’t write it right now ‘cause -not related- I’ve recived some bad news just before entering the theatre. But I’m gonna write something about it.
The decision is made. This Sunday I begin publishing my first serialized story on Substack. Six parts. Six Sundays. Dark fiction. Someone is waiting for you. And you have no option. This is… Inevitable.
Me: talking into de Void about posting a short novellette serialized on Substack. A bunch of strangers that had never read me:
Some days the sea forgets it’s Mediterranean. But make no mistake, it never forgets your sins.
Cal aplaudir fort a Marta Armengol, que ha col·locat un "botiflera" amb una subtilesa meravellosa.
Apparently, 2026 has decided to be generous. Here’s where you’ll find me.
OK, 50% de la revisió acabada i tinc 7 dies fins al deadline. El vostre Nadal què tal?
Northern Gothic: the house rejects you. Mediterranean Gothic: the house welcomes you in, offers you water, closes the door behind you.
What I've been building at Mediterranean Gothic: Flash fiction about devotion and dread. Essays written from hospital beds and bad nights. E. Nesbit translated into Catalan/Valencian for the first time. Horror doesn't need fog. Ausiastsel.substack.com
Mireu quina cosa més bonica que fan els amics de @pegana-cat.bsky.social
Un teòleg alemany mort fa quasi un segle m’acaba de fer la pregunta més incòmoda que m’han fet en mesos. I estic en un tren passant per la Plana. No estava preparat.
Rejection from Milk Candy Review for “Dear Raquel” today. “I like how you make this epistolary seem so intimate, yet you still manage to tell a story with it.” The story works. Now it just needs to find the right cemetery. #booksky
En valencià/català com li dieu a l'aparell per llaurar que va amb gasoil? Ací tota la vida li hem dit "muleta", però veig que no està al DNV, ni al DIEC ni a l'Alcover-Moll.
A summer assignment that probably shouldn’t be on any school desk. My flash story "My Sumer" has found a home at Flash Phantoms, a horror journal for stories of 1,000 words or less. Publication date: December 1, 2025. Slowly letting more of these odd little things out into the world. #booksky
He acabat la revisió. És fosca, cau com una llosa, i n’estic massa orgullós per fingir el contrari. #booksky
