In advance of my short story appearing in Die Zeit's English-language Spotlight magazine, catch me talking about all things writing with Die Zeit's English-language Spotlight team. This was so much fun! All in English!

We’re looking at early 27, but it’ll be worth the wait, I promise!

Delighted my forthcoming novel DARKSOME has been bought by Jason Kaufman, who's also Dan Brown’s editor, at @doubledaybooks. I'm hugely grateful to my agent @cbuccibookman.bsky.social of Aevitas Creative for stepping in so swiftly and expertly after the tragic death of Esmond Harmsworth.

Wow! My novel The Devil Aspect has been chosen by Mysterious Bookshop for USA TODAY’s ten best thriller/mystery novels! I’m in there with Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins, and Stephen King. Huge privilege to be in their number.

It was—but Golden Age Hollywood is a subject that fascinates me, so I enjoyed it enormously

Clever and enjoyable horror/suspense novel from @craigrussellauthor.bsky.social about Hollywood’s silent era. Some deft passages detailing the politics and filmmaking process definitely benefitted from some excellent research.

Book cover of the novel “The Devil Aspect” by Craig Russell. The cover features the name of the book, with a flaming hexagon in the middle containing a cropped image of a persons face centered around their eye.

Part horror, part crime thriller, it follows a Dr. working in a prison/asylum while a serial killer continues to strike in the nearby town. The story is really interesting but so is the setting of 1935 Czechoslovakia. Combining the horrors of the story with the growing horrors across the border.

Pues esto es un grandísimo libro. Craig Russell sigue en plena forma especializándose en thrillers con una mezcla de gótico y un toque de terror.
¿Qué es El paraíso del Diablo? Pues la cinta cinematográfica de terror más grande de todos los tiempos. Y sobre ella pesa una maldición.

Acabo de ver que Craig Russell publica nuevo libro.
¿Que quién es Craig Russell? Un escritor escocés que tiene en su haber uno de mis libros favoritos: «El aspecto del diablo».
Por cierto, tengo pendiente jugar el escenario con Trueque basado en el libro. 😀
