I write dark fiction where monsters are metaphors, beauty meets tragedy, and the line between right and wrong blurs. No answers, just reflections. Cure fan. Debut novel - The Great Orme, released October 2024 Find me here: www.pauldcoombs.com

We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker and wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw all the songs we know
Into the sea, you and me

Gotta switch it up from time to time. So here's a beautiful new profile photo. Taken last night in Liverpool.

A great afternoon at the incredible Books on the Wall in Chester.
The best thing about doing a book signing is meeting so many interesting people and discovering their stories and talents. @cavahn.bsky.social here, (an artist amongst many other things) is one such person I met today 🖤

I’ll be at Books On The Walls in Chester this Saturday at 2pm.
​Come by, grab a copy of The Great Orme, and tell me your best ghost story. I’ve got a few of my own I shouldn’t tell in public. 💀✍️

Is there anything better than a local bookshop? 📚 I'll be at Books on the wall, in Chester on Saturday. Whether you want a signed copy of The Great Orme or just a quick chat about books, your support would truly make my day. Hope to see you there! ✍️

Yep. I kind of feel it's important to step back and take on board philosophical viewpoints

Yep. I'm a huge Cure fan. Killing an A. About time I read it.
