Uncanny Landscapes #8 - Gary Budden

An interview by Justin Hopper with writer Gary Budden

Gary Budden is a Kent-born, London-based, writer of weird fiction and also-weird non-fiction. His latest collection of short stories, London Incognita, explores the realities of a fractured capital through tales of the otherwise. His non-fiction collaborations with the artist Maxim Griffin explore his uncanny home on the Kentish shoreline. He speaks with us about Landscape Punk, underground music, birdwatching, Arthur Machen and more.

Links: Gary has a website here; his latest book is available from Dead Ink Books, and his collaborative works are available from the author.

The music is by Swedish band Seeds in Barren Fields, from their project, Sånger som rämnar - available via their Bandcamp. Used by permission of the artists, and with great thanks.

Host Justin Hopper is on twitter, and has a Link Tree.
