CJW: Hey there! Let’s get to it.

nothing here but plastic-eating psycho-biddies

issue 273 - 24th November, 2024

CJW: Welcome back! The horrors don’t stop, and neither do we. (The hope doesn’t stop either. As hard as that is sometimes.)

nothing here but the hideousness of super yachts and private jets

issue 272, 10th November, 2024

CJW: Welcome! A big issue today, so I hope you take the time to scroll through and pick out some links that speak to you. Bugs, space, space marines, mutual aid, and so much more.

The Hum of Hate in His Bones

issue 271 - 3rd November, 2024

by Corey Jae White and Austin Armatys

nothing here but vibe barons

issue 270 - 27th October, 2024

CJW: Sorry for the delay - had an issue that required waiting on Buttondown for help. But here we are.

nothing here but fossil fuel colonialists

issue 269 - 13th October, 2024

CJW: It’s a short one this issue - cue collective sigh of relief. Dan’s been struck down by Covid, and I’ve been too busy with family and freelancing to do my usual (admittedly ungodly amount of) newsletter reading. But the few links gathered here are well worth your time.

nothing here but acidic terrorism

issue 268 - 29th September, 2024

CJW: Welcome again to another issue of nothing here. We’re happy to have you.

Fishing Off Kaiju Break

by Corey Jae White

When the wind is right, the smell reaches the shore before the sound: a sickly, ripe-garbage scent carried on a salty spray. That gut-deep bass follows – dhoom... dhoom... dhoom – kaiju footsteps beating steadily across the ocean floor.

nothing here but intentional ecocide

issue 266 - 15th September, 2024

CJW: Bit of a short one this issue, but I think you’ll probably be thankful for that with all the bumper issues we’re often dropping in your inbox.

nothing here but a witty title

issue 265 - 1st September, 2024

CJW: Welcome back. Let’s go.

nothing here but satanic artworks

issue 265, 18th August, 2024

CJW: Welcome to another edition of nothing here. This time around, no only is it not just me, but we also have returning guest Maddison Stoff on board.

nothing here but corey jae

issue 263 - 4th August, 2024

CJW: It finally happened, gang. We came close a handful of times over the years, but this issue is all Corey Jae from beginning to end. Marlee and Dan are on holiday, and I can only assume Lidia is doing her Indiana Jones-style catacomb exploration.

nothing here but demon cat burglars

issue 262 - 21st July, 2024

CJW: Welcome to another edition of nothing here. Lots to share, so let’s get right to it.

by Lidia Zuin

nothing here but shareholder infernos

issue 260 - 7th July, 2024

CJW: A big thanks to Marlee for sending out the last issue while I was off frolicing. You may or may not be pleased to know that the newsletter gods punished me for abandoning you with a dose of covid. I do not recommend it.

nothing here but elephant names

issue 259 - 23rd June, 2024

othing here but the real threat of being human

issue 258 - 9th June, 2024

CJW: Welcome to another issue of nothing here, where I’m personally still coming to terms with the fact that it’s June. Let’s get started shall we… But first, if you would like to support us (and if you’re able), you’ve got a couple of options:

by Corey Jae White

nothing here but disaster-prone gossip

issue 255 - 12th May, 2024

CJW: Hey everyone. Welcome to another edition of nothing here. The sky has really been breaking out all the stops he past day or so. Let’s take it as a good omen. Things will change for the better, especially if we agitate for, and work towards, it. In the wise words of The Crow, “It can’t rain all the time.”

nothing here but an exodus

issue 254 - 28th April, 2024

CJW: Welcome gang, to another issue. It’s great to have you.

issue 251 - 31st March, 2024

CJW: Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Hi, I'm trans.

nothing here but four albums

issue 250 - 24th March, 2024

CJW: Welcome to a special bonus presentation. To celebrate nothing here’s 250th issue, we thought we’d put together a bonus to send to you all about some important, meaningful, or just favourite albums of ours.

CJW: Welcome to another edition of nothing here. We're glad to have you. 

nothing here but our unlikeable selves

issue 246 - 4th February, 2024

CJW: Welcome to the latest issue of nothing here. Today is gearing up to be 37 degrees Celsius here (98.6 F, apparently), so I'm struggling to say anything more than coherent in this introduction. But I'm glad you've chosen to spend some time perusing these links, recs, and opinions.

Neadful Things

issue 244 - 21st January, 2024

CJW: Welcome to another issue of nothing here - a broad download of the past fortnight that's bound to contain something illuminating (in one way or another).

nothing here but made up murders

issue 243 - 7th January, 2024

CJW: Happy New Year, gang! Hope you enjoyed our seasonal The Shining rewatch and took part yourself if you needed to fill in some holiday time (if you got any of that - I had very little myself).

nothing here but Johnny (A Very Shining New Year)

issue 242 - 31st December, 2023

CJW: Happy holidays everyone. For this year’s holiday bonus, we decided to go with The Shining, a classic of film and film horror from Stanley Kubrick, based on a classic horror novel from Stephen King. (Originally we picked it because I saw it on a list of NYE films, but I think that’s only because there’s some argument as to whether the party featured at the very end of the film was actually a NYE party despite being labelled as a 4th of July party. I only picked up on this too late, so… enjoy?)

nothing here but a 2024 retrospective

issue 241 - 24th December, 2023

nothing here but the language of the sacred

issue 238 - 12th November, 2023

CJW: Welcome to another issue of nothing here. I'm a few hours late, so let's keep this brief. Andrew Dana Hudson joins us again for this issue - he and I have a new short story out in Analog magazine (see The Self-Promotion below), so it seemed as good a time as any to have him join us in these pages again.

Emer

by Marlee Jane Ward

MJW: I wrote this recently for a reading with the theme 'monster erotica'. I left it to the last minute and sat down to write it the day of, thinking, "You're not going to get away with this procrastination this time." Especially as writing has been so hard for me for the past while.

nothing here but a dangerous and irrational toilet

issue 227 - 23rd July, 2023

CJW: Welcome back. Hope you're keeping your head above water, and taking the time to look out for yourself and those closest to you. Let's get to this fortnight's dispatch, shall we.
