While the wife watches Harry Potter, I’m cracking on with this. Man alive those first 50 pages are intense.

It’s a bit warm at the gym.

Just a reminder that I have a new collection of short horrors arriving on 30th June. Preorder your copy here, if you dare…

Started playing with format for a new short story. Kind of a fun exercise in finding alternative ways to invoke fear.

I used to be such a fan of Neal Asher. He was my favourite author for a long time. But, alas, he’s become yet another author that’s picked a hill to die on I find disappointing and disagreeable.

Do better Neal.

Bank holiday Monday.

Sad times everyone. Tino, my ever faithful VW Up, has a stuck clutch. Queue breaking down right in front of traffic lights and being the person responsible for Thursday night traffic in Salisbury.

Watching Nosferatu. I will watch anything Eggars does in future. This is outstanding.

Everyone! I have been strucketh down with the Man Flu yet again! Send funny memes or cute pet pics during this difficult time.

Fucking hell America, your government gone messed up big time.

Sadly, this book isn’t going to finish itself.

The paperback version of Badlands, featuring a green cover with the silhouette of a woman against an ocean background.

A cover page showing the words BADLANDS & GARY KRUSE

A page from the dark thriller, Badlands. The text reads: "I'm a reverend, not a priest," he said. "And anyway, who said us Holy types don't know how to sin? Maybe we sin better than you normal folk cos we've got speed dial to God and can buy forgiveness in a flash." He grinned and clicked his fingers. The sparkle in his eye and the smile on his face made him seem softer, warmer. An old feeling, a heat like molten gold blossomed in her chest, and she looked down, her cheeks warm and ruddy. "She missed you," Goddard said. The glow faded, and she thought of Ellie. She bit her lip. "After you left, she talked a lot about you, told me you'd gone to London, that you were settling in ok. She seemed happy for you, but lonely." Tears pricked Willow's eyes. She wiped them. "I missed her too." "Go and see your dad." Goddard nudged her shoulder. "Why?" "Ellie might be there." "Doubt it." "Life's too short for anger, Willow," Goddard said. "And your dad is sorry." She peered up at him. "Is he still with Connie?" Goddard gave a tight smile. "Not that sorry then is he?"

First book haul in a year. It’s like early Christmas 😂

My latest novel, The Eyeless, is completely free on Kindle for the next few days. Grab a copy of this hellishly bleak tale of Lovecraftian horror if you dare 😈

I’m still thinking about it. My wife and I were heaving full body sobs by the end. I really happy you liked it and I really love that it doesn’t offer any easy solutions. You can still be a good parent and have this happen. It’s terrifying in that respect.

Adolescence on Netflix. It’s probably one of the most emotionally devastating pieces of TV in recent memory. It’s honestly perfect: one of those rare achievements where everything works so well you forget you’re watching tv. It’s a masterpiece in every sense of the word.

Andrew Tate really is one of the most deeply insecure men to have walked this earth. I’d pity him is he wasn’t, you know, a giant asshole.

So, just finished The Laws of the Skies. What a truly, deeply nasty and upsetting book. It has an ending that is one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever read. Literally made me feel dizzy.

When your brother asks for a sensible photo.

Blue Steel.

Heard a woman calling her toddler a wee toe-rag, and now I feel it’s the perfect title for a Scottish set folk horror.

A blue book cover with white text, showing a skull and crow in silhouette. The text reads Gary Kruse, The Mistress of the Crows. The background is dark with green ghostly figures.

Who is the Mistress of the Crows? And what does she want with the children?

9 tales of #witches, #vampires, #ghosts and human monsters, now only 99p/99c on #kindle or FREE on Kindle Unlimited.

RIP Gene Hackman. What a great, great actor.

Gotta love Amazon recommending you’re own book 🤦🏼‍♂️

Watching the USA right now is like saying I told you so, but without the smugness, just endless disappointment.
