A hardcover copy of my book, Night Terrors: Troubled Sleep and the Stories We Tell About It. The font is translucent over Henry Fuseli's painting, 'The Nightmare', which has a woman lounging over a bed with a goblin-like incubus on her chest.

My first book, Night Terrors, came out three years ago today. I wrote it to make sense of my own spooky sleep, but also to help people talk about their parasomnias and to know they're not alone.

Last night I dreamt I was looking for a sword in a warehouse, but kept finding potato mashers...

A lifelong dream is finally real, I made a full FMV horror game by myself in the Australian rainforest.

Crow and Autumn Sky

Crow sat and watched the first leaf fall. Autumn had arrived.
He thought how wonderful it was of the trees to give up their fading leaves, and even their golden ones.
The trees knew when it was time to let go.
So did he, he thought.
How beautiful it was to let things go.

Is Murderous Muses a Halloween videogame? Nah… #PleasePlayOurGameThisMonth

A newsletter! In which I play a very old game and realise it's way better than I thought it would be. Also, some talk of ships. And a video. <3

Hey @heblenn.bsky.social have you heard of Whumptober before? @jenneh.bsky.social told me about it; she writes microfiction/drabbles for each of the prompts when she participates.

I had no idea about this before today. It's 31 ways to hurt a character, basically:

Ooh interesting, thanks - I'll check it out!

Our 5th suspect, Saphira, is a scientist who deals with death and blood. She’s much older than she looks though… powerfully played by Anna Fraser! ❤️🩸

A paper collage of a green tree against a pink sky. A large spotty pink sun shines out below the branches and the outlines of two oversized birds can be seen in the foliage. Handwritten words read: Why don’t birds..?

Made a collage yesterday. Don’t hate it 🐦‍⬛

It definitely gets more complex the more branching you have, let alone stat tracking 😲 Shapeshift was the most complex script for us to write - lots of branching there. I don’t miss it 😂

Glad to read it’s still going well! Btw due to the UK’s new online safety act I’m not receiving DMs anymore so I can see from my notifs that you messaged but I can’t read what it says :/

This was a really interesting, sensitive study of 20th Century paranormal investigation in Britain and one quiet man at the heart of it all. Spooky and sensible in equal parts. Recommended! 💙📚

Never mind. Now it's collage, Korean, and reading about medieval monasteries. Still looking for ghosts though.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

The Rise of Spiritualism (and Séances) After the First World War The First World War began in July 1914, and by its conclusion in November 1918, over nine million soldiers had been killed in the conflict. Each death was devastating to relatives and friends left …

I'm thrilled to have an extract from Ghosted on @literaryhub.bsky.social today! The chapter on Spiritualism in the aftermath of WWI really broadened my understanding of ghost-hunting, and made me realise just how much grief is tangled up in our search for spooks.

He put his head close to my ear and said: “Tell me a story and I will give you a slice of funeral cake.”
“Must the story be true?” I asked, setting down my burden.
“All stories are true.,” he said. “Begin.”

A poem in black text against a white background. The poem: And Now It's September By Barbara Crooker and the garden diminishes: cucumber leaves rumpled and rusty, zucchini felled by borers, tomatoes sparse on the vines. But out in the perennial beds, there's one last blast of color: ignitions of goldenrod, flamboyant asters, spiraling mums, all those flashy spikes waving in the wind, conducting summer's final notes. The ornamental grasses have gone to seed, haloed in the last light. Nights grow chilly, but the days are still warm; I wear the sun like a shawl on my neck and arms. Hundreds of blackbirds ribbon in, settle in the trees, so many black leaves, then, just as suddenly, they're gone. This is autumn's great Departure Gate, and everyone, boarding passes in hand, waits patiently in a long, long line.

First time seeing this - the line “I wear the sun like a shawl on my neck
and arms.” is sublime.

Happy publication day to Ghosted! This book was so much fun to research and write, and I can't wait to go on a ghost hunt again.

Thank you to everyone who's ordered a copy! I hope you enjoy reading it...with all the lights on, obviously. 👻
