My latest short story, Elsie’s Eternal Eden, appears in Issue 12 of The Crazy Oik, out this month. This is another of my literary-weirdos which I wrote back in 2010 while I was experimenting wih style, in particular with slipstream stories. It might appeal to readers who liked my story, Seven Pets for Seven Years, which came out in August last year.
If you buy the issue, check out Brett Wilson’s story, All of Me. I love quirky stories like this that leave a dark aftertaste (sorry for the pun – if you read the story, you’ll know why!)
About Leilanie Stewart
Leilanie Stewart is an award-winning author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She writes ghost and psychological horror, as well as experimental poetry. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis and create a new sense of identity. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Anthologies, a creative writing publication with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
