Thank you, Kerry 🥰

I'm going to run a six week online 'Writing Psychological Thrillers' course. If you're interested, message me and I'll send you all the details

It’s true. We are publishing a mini-collection by this talented writer. Normally we publish stories singly, in pairs. If that makes sense. Something made us break that pattern.

Looking forward to finally meeting in person! ☺️

My first collection of short stories is out this month (17 October) on @nightjarpress.bsky.social ! Very excited. And nervous. But mostly excited.

The Course of the Heart by M John Harrison review – imbued with mystery and the occult Back in print for its 20th anniversary, The Course of the Heart refuses give away all the answers, or hardly any for that matter.

'Masterpiece... you might just have found your new favourite author'

#TheCourseOfTheHeart by @mjohnharrison.bsky.social, reviewed in the Big Issue. This new edition of Harrison's cult novel, featuring an introduction by Julia Armfield, is out now.

Day 2

Lovely day for a hike

You‘re very welcome 🍷!

Light

David Lynch in a black suit and black tie, smiling after being asked to elaborate in which he says, “no.”

What a legend. Adored him and his work, and I always found this exchange particularly inspiring.

💔

I’m sure he will! I‘ll make sure to ask him about it (not too soon, obvs 😉).

I thought about leaving Twitter and not going anywhere else, but as this was my only social media account until I joined Bluesky (not counting MySpace), it ultimately felt too much like cutting myself off from the world.

I particularly loved the Burke series. Will let you know if I find any second-hand copies 😊!

So chuffed to see readers still find him! I was absolutely obsessed with Vachss‘ novels in the 90s and still think about them all the time.

2025 looking good so far

Good morning! We might be looking at a rare White Christmas here.

@richardlittler.bsky.social Just saw this in the November issue of the NZZ‘s Folio magazine. The guy‘s a TV comedian (don‘t know his work, really, so can‘t say if he‘s any good), but his taste is impeccable.

Leaves

Microsoft Word once again hilariously trying to sabotage my translations by insisting that "resit the exam" should be "resist the exam" (tbf, the students who are supposed to read the finished product probably wouldn‘t mind if I went with 'resist' 😅).

All these apps asking "What do you want to do?" and me, shouting at the screen, "None of your effing business!" Modern software is clearly not being developed with people like me in mind…

There's a sticker on a window that read, "Directed by DAVID LYNCH," and now my fucked up funhouse of a ilife doesn't seem QUITE as - no, that's not quite right. It's still a surreal, bizarre, whackadoo carnival of fuckery from hell. But at least if it's taking place in a Lynchian universe, I can assuage my devastating anxiety and terror with the knowledge that all of this is ordinary in Lynchworld. Now all I have to do is keep an eye out for anything that seems NORMAL in the NORMAL sense... because that's the shit that'll really fuck you up.

Stuck this to the window and now the world makes a LITTLE more sense...
