As a disabled teenager, Sarah R. New identified strongly with monstrous female characters, but couldn’t quite find herself reflected in her favourite genre. Twenty years on, she’s crafting her own narratives, using personal experiences to thrill and scare readers.

Her first novella, Gothic horror Amissis Liberis, was published by Alien Buddha Press in 2024, followed by body-and-mind horror novella, Hypochondria in 2026. Her most recent novella, animalistic thriller CATFOOD, was released in June 2026.

‘The Birds Were the Only Ones Singing’ is a diverse anthology of poems that reflects the world around us.

Split into six chapters, the poems are drawn from the poet’s personal experiences and explores nature, community, folk, love, loss, and metamorphosis.

Dolezal details his own personal sense of escapism into nature and where he finds solace. The poems ask readers to question where they feel most at peace. The chapter reveals how elements in nature can be a metaphor for human greed and deception.
