I am pleased to announce that the Second Handmade edition of Living Room Stories is now available to buy, after the first edition sold out in 36 days! In early October 2011 inspired by Ólafur Arnalds' Living Room Songs I wrote a story a day for seven days. The resulting seven short stories are about love, memories, hurt and hope. I have reordered the stories into a linear retelling for the physical release. Copies are available for £5.00 (includes postage to anywhere in the world (via paypal)). The second edition will be limited to 50 copies. There will not be a third edition, this is it! The cover is a new transparent print (above). The cover art is a print of the art I produced for Tricia, who won the Mensis Liber giveaway. Each of the stories are printed on individual double sided cards with accompanying art or photography, housed in a seven inch record sleeve. Each copy is signed.
'Living Room Stories is a highly original project. And you sense this before reading a single word. ... Related to this is Harrod’s extraordinary ability to attach a lyrical and poetic quality to his descriptions. ... it is an artistic interpretation, a beautiful tribute to a fellow artist’s work, and represents an innovative means of finding inspiration. It would be no exaggeration to say that I have not taken pleasure out of a reading ‘experience’ quite like this before. ... Harrod’s work should be regarded as a new form that calls on influences from literature, poetry and music. This project is a stunning marriage of the three, and I cannot wait to see what comes next.'
