I don't know about everything in their catalog, but what I've read has been pretty good.

Fisher's stuff is all great.
Thacker's stuff is also really good.
Noys is good if you're interested in accelerationism as a topic and have already read Land/CCRU and #Accelerate.

Remember too, Fisher went off and started Repeater Books as well. I've read even less of their catalog, but it might be worth checking out.

>>life is a living hell, lock myself in room during term for up to three weeks on end to avoid facing others

That's me right now. How do you actually get out of it?
I feel so ashamed of myself that being around others is legit torturous.
Can barely talk to other people and haven't made a single friend or acquaintance even though I'm 3rd year uni.

Will these feelings of inferiority stop eventually? I can't see myself functioning with this in the background constantly.

>Just want to write a simple short story
>Can't get my fucking retard chimp brain to work right

How do I get in the proper mindset to write fiction? I read and read all day, and can write non-fiction extensively. But as soon as I sit down to write something that's just a bit of lighthearted short prose, my brain becomes retard jelly.

HOW DO?

>search for book title in the archive to see what /lit/ thinks of it
>notice one retard repeating the same observations in any thread about the book over the course of several years
I get that you don't care about the main character in Underworld and that you find the Lenny Bruce und Edgar J. Hoover parts funny but please shut the fuck up from now on
