Des Lewis will be 77 years old on 18 January 2025
Those who have read these episodic brainstorming reviews of mine must know they are very personal — rough-shod and spontaneous. Synchronicity and anagram mixed. I know they are not professional, never potentially publishable other than in the madness of my head, but I do hope they show grains of dark truth and cosmic panache.
These Des Lewis Gestalt Real-Time Reviews were founded in 2008.
‘What’s the loveliest word in the English language, officer? In the sound it makes in your mouth, in the shape it makes on the page? What do you think? Well now, I’ll tell you: E-L-B-O-W. Elbow.’ — THE SINGING DETECTIVE
“How shall a man find his way unless he lose it?” — Walter de la Mare
To any current genre author I have reviewed before — if you have a new story recently published or soon to be published in a collection or anthology, you may have a review by me of the story that also showcases where it is published. See HERE. (This is because I am no longer well enough to review as many books as I once did.)
Fresh Fictions, free to read HERE.
No AI input in preparation of my texts whatsoever.

A DEAD MONUMENT TO ONCE ANCIENT HOPE
ADMTOAH’s 21 stories were published among the 67 that appeared in the out of print (withdrawn by myself) WEIRDMONGER published by Prime Books. Now, these stories have been rewritten by myself – most of them revised substantially and some with different endings, different titles etc.
Life is both the problem and the solution. Each moment lived is a monument by which to coordinate my path toward a time when dread itself may die – but only if it dies at its appointed time from a force outside myself or when I finally cease being a life-insider by becoming that outside force myself. A life sui-sider. A life subsider. Sui generis.
And, thus, if Hope was once Ancient it can now no longer be Ancient: it is now.
