By The Seaside

I’ve always been fortunate enough to live within a fifteen-minute drive of the beach. As children, we would be there all the time, tackling waves on our boogie boards or shielding our pile of hot chips from the marauding seagulls. While visits may not be as frequent now that I’m an adult, there is still something calming about heading out into the surf. Well… most of the time.

By the Seaside is the eighth Thuggish Itch collection, and although lockdowns and rapid antigen tests slowed down its progress, we are proud to present these stories from a mix of frequent collaborators and GST first-timers.
