“The moments between the moments where teabags turn heavy and cold, where real stories gather under the stories we tell, and are stranger – The Bygones is a dance down that street, so present and bright you can feel it underfoot.” - DBC pierre
Big Issue North:
Nov 2022
'The debut author talks to Alexander Garvey Holbrook about the ordinary lives that populate the less ordinary short stories in his new collection, The Bygones'
Leftlion Magazine: Nov 2022
'We catch up with the writer to find out about how he uses the place as a character, how he put the collection together and much more…'
Book Review: The Bygones
'The writing is seriously impressive. The author’s imagination and willingness to test boundaries makes for vivid and engaging reading. There are thought-provoking metaphors in many of the stranger narratives, but also a sense that accepted reality should not be hemmed in by staid convention.'
Jim Gibson's The Bygones: Masterful Little Slices of Gothic Realism
It’s obvious reading The Bygones that Gibson is a very talented writer with a lot more to say, and I am very excited for his future work.
A Terrific First Collection: The Bygones by Jim Gibson
'I haven’t read a collection of micro-fictions as good as this since David Gaffney’s career starting series of miracles Sawn-Off Tales...'
Goodreads: Jim Gibson Author
'This is ranked high with my favourite short story books, it's creepy, it's moving, it's beautiful and you will not be disappointed. Looking forward to reading more by Gibson.'
