I'm giving away this signed 1st edition h/b of my new novel (it has a tiny jacket rip which means I wouldn't sell it) to one person who reposts this.

You might like it if you like:
Folkloric creatures
Old records
Intricate psychedelic stories
The idea of circular time

All shares much-appreciated.

A horrible man* who's joined Reform cos he thinks it's the only way he'll get back into power as the Tories are finished.
* This specimen was in the previous government, you know, the one that caused all the damage.

A photo of a burrowing toad. The toad is large and blob-like, with loose skin. It is dark in color with a pale underbelly and orangey red striping on its back.

Behold the burrowing toad! It seldom emerges from its underground home, surfacing only a few times a year during heavy rains to breed. This rotund amphibian uses its snout to access the underground tunnels and nests of its prey, including termites & ants.
