For July we have a short story by Ethan O’Connor, titled ‘The Knights Templar.’ Guest edited by Racheal Crowther.
Ethan O’Connor (b. 1991, Manchester) is a writer of fiction and personal essays.
In 2024, he performed his short story ‘Dungeness’ at Factory International, Manchester, which focused on the cosmic nature of ageing, creative legacy, and collective cultural trauma inherited by gay men.
He collaborated with his sister, artist Evie O’Connor, on a publication for her show ‘The Gulf’ at Taymour Grahne Projects, London, in 2023. He also provided a piece of flash science fiction for Armando D. Cosmos’ SHTF works at Nest gallery, The Hague, that same year. He is a graduate of The University of Glasgow’s Creative Writing MLitt and Central Saint Martins’ BA Fashion Communication program.
Image Description: A series of screenshots stating — ‘The Knights Templar,’ Ethan O’Connor, a section of the story read out loud by Ethan, and a link to access the full text.
My short story, “Dungeness”, is now online at @factory_international . I’ll be reading it live at Factory on Wednesday 22nd, alongside other writers and their works from 4-6PM.

“Tara and Liam live at The Sal Hotel. She, an arthouse starlet and he, a waiter to London’s elite. Both contemplate their monotonous presents, chemically-inducing enthusiasm while they wait for their grander futures to take hold”.
