Thanks to @argonautbooks.bsky.social for sending M home with this one last month; she inhaled it this evening in the pub with a soundtrack of 90s and 00s Britpop, which was apparently "A++ vibes" for this unsettling little read.

Blimey, thank you very much!

Yes! All down to the excellent Luke Bird, that is.

This is absolutely wonderful news.

Engines Beneath Us by Malcolm Devlin (published by Influx Press). Folk horror! (Ish) But in a housing estate with a weird bit in a cellar.

Gottle of gears. Very happy that this one has had a new lease of life.

💙📚🩸 You will start & finish this in a day. It's equally chilling and heartfelt, immediately grabs you, and has much to say on reality and perception. An incredibly relevant, compelling, and scary book ⬇️

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thank you, Dan!

And Then I Woke Up by Malcolm Devlin. Frustratingly still topical. I mean, really. Come on. Seriously though.

Just putting this here. Again.

Featuring The Death of Stalin, The Prestige, La Strada and Moulin Rouge!

These are some of my favorite films and if you love them too, my novel is absolutely made for you! THE LADY, THE TIGER AND THE GIRL WHO LOVED DEATH has all the magic, drama, and political edge you crave🔥

“At its core, THE LADY, THE TIGER AND THE GIRL WHO LOVED DEATH is a story about stories.” @mondyboy74.bsky.social reviews @manuscriptgal.bsky.social

Croquet, Anyone? Making Moscow a Vast Fun Zone to Divert Minds From War.

Life imitating art: Reading about Moscow’s surreal detachment from war while people live in carefully constructed unrealities reminds me why I wrote The Lady, The Tiger and the Girl Who Loved Death—a story about power, illusion, and the lies we tell ourselves

Come for the three glorious stories, stay for the exquisite tailoring on the trenchcoat.
