Starting on midnight of the 25th January, Resonance FM will be broadcasting a series of specially-commissioned collaborations between writers and musicians, Weird Tales For Winter, curated by the incomparable Jonny Mugwump.

The Dinner Party Wars by Matthew De Abaitua and West Norwood Cassette Library

The first story sees Moon Wiring Club work on a short piece by the late Nigel Kneale, author of Quatermass, The Stone Tape and The Year of the Sex Olympics. I had the honour of interviewing Nigel Kneale for my TV show SF:UK, which you can watch here.
The second Weird Tale for Winter is my own The Dinner Party Wars, a story I rewrote and performed after the death of JG Ballard, as my own modest tribute to the great prophet of futuristic psychopathy. The West Norwood Cassette Library have done a fantastic job in hewing, smoothing and varnishing my raw recording, adding a rumbling bassline and various sonic constructs that any writer would be pleased to find himself within.
