| February 1st 2012: we're on the move... watch this space.December 9th, 2011: The Paraphiliacs have been extremely busy in recent weeks. Issue 13 of the reliably jaw-dropping Paraphilia Magazine is out now, and alongside works by Dire McCain, D M Mitchell, Vadge Moore, Claudia Bellocq, F.X. Tobin, Melissa Mann, Craig Woods, David Gionfriddo, dixe.flatlin3, Dolorosa De La Cruz and a while host of other first-rate writers, it features an extensive interview with JG Thirlwell aka Foetus, etc. conducted by Christopher in November of this year. It's accompanied by exclusive pgotographs shot by none other than Tony Visconti. It really doesn't get cooler than that.
The collection of postmodern ghost stories, A Dream of Stone is also available to the UK and European markets as of today, priced at £9.99. It's 334 pages in length and simply oozes both quality and ectoplasm. Essential reading, and not only because it features Christopher's postmodern retelling of Hamlet, 'Corrupted from Memory'.November 29th, 2011: Christopher's postmodern retelling of Hamlet entitled 'Corrupted from Memory' can be found in the anthology published by Paraphilia Books entitled A Dream of Stone (And Other Ghost Stories). Currently only available in the US, it can be purchased via Amazon.com.
Christopher also provided the cover art for Clinicality Press' latest title, Hack by James Wells. To tie in with the book's publication, Chris interviewed the author in a piece that can be found on his blog.
In the pipeline are more works of fiction in various zines and anthologies, plus interviews with James Grahan of The Twilight Sad and JG Thirlwell of Foetus legend. Watch this space....
September 12th, 2011: While Christopher continues to notch up at least a review a day for Whisperin' and Hollerin', he still manages to produce works of fiction. From the forever-delayed opus that will one day become So Dark All Over Europe, the short piece 'The Sinking of Venice: A Catalyst to Propagate Global Panic' sees Chris adopt shades of J. G. Ballard and is published in issue 12 of Paraphilia Magazine, accompanied by stuning photographic images courtesy of Guttersaint. August 4th, 2011: When he isn't writing books or writing about music, he's often to be found writing about books. American Scrap-Dragon, the latest poetry collection by R. G. Johnson, features a blurb by Christopher. Chris describes Johnson's writing as 'more than mere poetry', and it's a cracking read. You can obtain the book via this link.June 25th, 2011: Written as a companion text / sequel to From Destinations Set and centred around the 'Liberate Yourself!' pamphlet, 'Liberator!' is a short story published in serial form over ten parts in Christopher's blog on Wordpress. You can read the story so far here. The full text will be published on this website some time in the future.
Christopher has also recently completed a few more short sories which will hopefully find their way into print anthologies and zines before the year's out.
June 13th, 2011: From Destinations Set is now - at long last - available through Amazon and other on-line retailers. Christopher has written a sequel / companion piece entitled 'Liberator' which he is currently publishing on-line in serial form in his blog.
In other news, while Christopher maintains a prodigious work-rate with his music reviews for Whisperin' and Hollerin', he also has other works in the pipeline, including a blurb / introduction for a forthcoming poetry collection by a writer he greatly admires, and a new mid-length story in an anthology scheduled for publication in the not so distan future. Details of both of these to follow.
April 24th, 2011: From Destinations Set has been out for almost a month now and while it may not have revolutionised the face of narrative yet, the book Flexwriter Leeza Coleman descirbed as 'a revelation' in her review can only a few small steps away from breaking on through.
His contribution to issue 2 of I'm Afraid of Everyone, entitled 'Blaming
Bukowski' also receives a (positive) mention in a review of said
publication in Cadaverine Magazine.
Meanwhile, Christopher has two more new pieces published: issue 11 of Paraphilia Magazine features an extensive interview with the multi-talented Malcolm Mc Neill, who collabrated with William S. Burroughs on the lost cult classic Ah Pook is Here, and the stunning new poetry book by cutting-edge cut-up merchant Antony Hitchin, Messages to Central Control features an introduction by Dr Nosnibor.
March 27th, 2011: Only 3 months into the year before the first update... as ever, this is by no means an indicator of a lack of activity. In excess of 100 music reviews published at Whisperin' and Hollerin' since 2011 began,a pamphlet project under way, guerilla performances at various open mic nights, including the Takeover Festival at York Theatre Royal, and the blogs have been rolling: it's been a productive period for Christopher. Then there's the book: From Destinations Set is published in paperback by Clinicality Press tomorrow. There's a 'virtual' launch event on Facebook, an interview with Christopher consucted by Stuart Bateman on Clinicality's Blog/Zine and more to follow, including audio-visual pieces and special offers.
And there's more in the pipeline... watch this space!
December 7th, 2010: Christopher would like to confirm that despite the Arctic conditions, he will still be appearing at the launch night for Vol 2. of I'm Afraid of Everyone on Friday night. He should also have some books with him for sale (or for trade in exchange for beer as he attempts to launch his barter-based micro-economy).
November 22nd, 2010: Issue 2 of I'm Afraid of Everyone, published next month, will feature a new story by Christopher entitled 'Blaming Bukowski'. There will be a launch event at the Python gallery in Middlesborough on December 10th, starting at 7:30. Christopher will be reading some of his latest work.
September 18th, 2010: A collection of short stories, some new and some previously published in a disparate array of zines will be published through Clinicality Press as The Gimp next month. It will be released simultaneously with another booklet by Vincent Clasper, entitled Kicks. Expect abrasive nastiness.
The short film, THE PLAGIARIST - intended as an audio-visual counterpart to the anti-novel of the same title - will also be available soon. Details to follow.
July 26th, 2010: It's been a while in coming, but From Destinations Set is finally to be made available in its entirety. As Christopher writes in his MySpace blog:
'Started as a piece to offer Bookworks as part of their Semina series, it made the 2008 shortlist but failed to get a commission. Nevertheless, having written a good chunk of it and planned out the rest, I finished it, then immediately gave up hope of publication after a strong of rejections and the realisation that I had no idea how the formatting could be made to work as a print conversion. I left the manuscript with Stuart, and one day, he figured it out and decided it should go out on Clinicality. I wasn’t going to argue...' June 14th, 2010: The music reviews keep on coming (approaching the 150 mark for the year), and Christopher's work on a number of book-length projects remains ongoing. However, his plan to publish less during 2010 may be foiled with talk of a new collection of short stories before the end of the year.
Today is also the day that Stewart Home's new novel, Blood Rites of the Bourgeoisie is published by Book Works as part of their Semina series. What has this got to do with Christopher Nosnibor? Other than the fact that large sections of Blood Rites are cut-and-paste appropriations of spam emails in a fashion not entirely dissimilar to THE PLAGIARIST, 'Christopher Nosnibor' also makes a 'guest appearance' in the 'appendix' that occupy th last 20 pages of the book, consisting of comments left on Home's blogs.
May 25th, 2010: The lengthy spell without updates shouldn't be mistaken for inactivity. Chris has been working hard on new material for the last few months, and while the longer pieces are yet to be completed, he has produced a lot of music reviews for Whisperinandhollerin.
Today also marks '120 Days of Brutality,' a virtual event hosted by Clinicality Press to celebrate 120 days since the publication of the book Clinical, Brutal... An Anthology of Writing With Guts. Christopher has written an essay for the occasion: 'Reflecting on 120 Days of Brutality' can be found here.
March 24th, 2010: Christopher may have been keping a seemingly low profile since the publication of Clinical, Brutal, but he's hard at work on new stuff. He also has a new slice of vileness which goes by the title 'The Boss (aka Everyday Horrors)' in issue VII of Paraphilia Magazine. The quality of this publication ust gets better. It can be downloaded for free here.
January 17th, 2010: In the first update of the new decade, we can report that the anthology Clinical, Brutal... An Anthology of Writing With Guts, edited by Christopher and featuting two previously unpublished pieces - 'Into the Earth' and 'Some Kind of Stranger III' (a different version of the story 'Some Kind of Stranger' that appeared in Geeek Magazine in 2008) - and an introduction, which charts the history of Clinical Brutality, is on schdule for publication on January 25th.

In support of the book, Chris has been conducting interviews with some of the contributing authors. These are being posted on a trickle basis over the weeks at Clinicality Press.-----------------------------------------------
December 13th, 2009: December 30th sees the publication of ‘A Reflection,’ the fourth and final publication in a series of limited-edition pamphlets released at quarterly intervals throughout 2009.
Its fragmentary, multi-voiced narrative revisits many of the central themes of its predecessors – time, death, memory – and marks a return to the discontinuous narrative forms Christopher is perhaps best known for, and as demonstrated in ‘Lust for Death,’ the first of the series. Unusually, however, ‘A Reflection’ sees Chris incorporate autobiographical elements and commentary within the framework of this semi-fictional piece. As such, ‘A Reflection’ not only brings the sequence full-circle, but the decade to a conclusion, and hints at what may be to come.
‘A Reflection’ will be available in a print run of just 25 copies, available exclusively from Christophernonsibor.co.uk. Advance orders will be being taken from Monday 14th December via this link.
-----------------------------------------------
December 3rd, 2009: In between an extremely prolific couple of months of music reviews, most of which can be found at Whisperin and Hollerin, Chris has been hard at work editing the anthology Clinical, Brutal... An Anthology of Writing with Guts which will be out on Clinicality Press in January. And there's more... the end of this month will see the publication of the fourth and final pamphlet in the series that h's been producing at the end of each quarter throughout 2009. Entitled 'A Reflection,' there will once again be just 25 copies, available only via this website. More details to follow...
-----------------------------------------------
October 24th, 2009: reviews of THE PLAGIARIST continue to trickle in. The latest, from Simon Phillips, continues the theme of positive feedback suffused with bewilderment. Given that this is the book's desired effect, this can only be a good thing... Read the review here.
-----------------------------------------------
October 4th, 2009: In between his various writing projects, Christopher has produced another short film. Entitled 'Supergrass,' he describes it as being 'high on pastiche, low on content.' Watch it below.
September 30th, 2009: 'Counting the Hours,' the eagerly-anticipated follow-up to 'Before the Flood' is published today. The third in a series of four pamphlets to be published in 2009 and sold exclusively through Christophernosnibor.co.uk, it's substantially longer than its predecessors (for those who are sold on 'perceived value'), but continues pushing the same thematic elemets, albeit from another angle, and has a cover that clearly demonstrates the unity of the sequence.

 Yes, this really is the bottom of the page. There is no more. Unless you go here. Or here. But those are other pages. | | 
As you're reading this, you're probably thinking about other things too. Perhaps you're thinking about what's for dinner or whether or not you fancy a cup of tea. It may be that you're thinking about the washing, or the washing up, or what you're going to do on Friday night – where to go, who to go with, if you've enough money. You might be thinking about where to go on holiday, or where you'll be in another 10 years. There's a good chance you're thinking about going to another page. And there's an outside chance you're wondering what it's all about, if there's something more.
