Crumbs
Julja's teenhood games take a serious turn as she becomes inducted into a computer cult. The surge of dopamine in her brain connects her with psychic aliens and chemical conspiracies, sordid and secret. On this dark journey of discovery, she pops pills prescribed by Big Pharm and relinquishes all ties to her sanity as she attempts to reach a heaven full of voices and gods. SPOTLIGHT is an Arts Council England-supported collaboration between Myriad, Creative Future and New Writing South to discover, guide and support marginalised and under-represented writers. In the same series: Cora Vincent by Georgina Aboud; Memories of a Swedish Grandmother by Sarah Windebank; Summon by Elizabeth Ridout; Stroking Cerberus by Jacqueline Haskell and The Haunting of Strawberry Water by Tara Gould.
