A very happy pub day to the always amazing @mattjwesolowski.bsky.social

Three people on a train hurtling through ghosted country where an old evil awaits. This one will drill into your head and make every night journey a pure terror. Absolutely bloody loved it!

Bravo

A man with dark grey hair pulled into a tight ponytail looks at the camera. His expression is serious and his eyes are blue and looking directly at the camera. His is standing in front of an ornate pillar and is visible from the waist up. He is wearing a black cardigan and t shirt that has white writing on it saying 'Lucifer' and a circular symbol.

Matt Wesolowski @mattjwesolowski.bsky.social is on Northern Voices today talking about class, his new novella from @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social (Don't) Call Mum and the depth of horror as a genre.

I wish I could share a relevant anecdote here about something a publisher once said to me but I am too discreet. HOWEVER, if you're ever told the key to an author's success is something that isn't writing books, run.
