We are excited to announce that Issue Ten of Kill Your Darlings is launched today! You can purchase it here or subscribe to the journal here.

Five of the issue’s pieces are now available online for free: click through to read them.

The edition kicks off with Gideon Haigh’s lead essay, ‘‘You must go on, I can’t go on, I’ll go on’ Falling In and Out of Love with The Office’. Kylie Ladd moves to Broome, where nothing is ever black or white, and feels like an outsider, while Estelle Tang argues there’s more to Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling than good looks and funny internet memes.

In fiction, we’ve got short stories from Debra Adelaide and Jon Bauer; and for our interview, we speak with acclaimed author Andrew McGahan. Julia Tulloh ponders the chanteuse-noir appeal of Lana Del Rey, and Rebecca Harkins-Cross unravels the psychological complexities of David Cronenberg’s films.

We love our brand new cover design, too, courtesy of Guy Shield, and we hope you do too!
