Oooh. This woke me up so many nights after falling asleep after listening to Goosefair.

Your books have become my new obsession. Thank you for these amazing wonderful translations.

I know a lot of people would have at Sight & Sound that Jean Dielman is the greatest film ever made... They're wrong- It's Monsters Inc.

This week I am dangerously close to completing a draft of a new work and I had an email read out by Simon Mayo on @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social about Bela Tarr. (Even my terrible Hamnet joke)

I'm not sure which of these I am most proud of.

Had a blast watching Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair. In the years since last watching the Kill Bill films, I had entirely forgotten how silly and camp the whole thing was.

The Well At The End of the World is a sublime read.

Perfect stocking fillers for the horror reader in your life

I kind of like all of these...

I prefer it to Aliens as it feels more like an actual Alien 2.

My friend Shian is in this film. She is in a really fun little scene and it was brilliant to see her on the big screen.

Being on a train with wave sounds on my headphones is my new favourite place to write.

That short trip from Berwick upon Tweed to Edinburgh usually for a cinema trip on my 'day off' is where a lot of magic happens. The deadline of the journey ending: DON'T STOP WRITING!

Got my paperback of this insanitome by @grumpyandrew.bsky.social . It even feels weird to the touch. Treat yourselves to a copy of this staggeringly unsettling horror novella.

Megalon, Ghidorah, Mothra and Hedora were also made but they live with Jen our Properties Master.

You have Rodan, Mechagodzilla, Godzilla himself and Anguiras. They have full cardboard suits too to go with the noggins.

He's also the proud owner of these! We have a blast with them at home. (They're props from the one and only kids show I have written, where the kids trash a tiny town and destroy a mockup of their bullies' homes.)

Watched the American version of the original with my kid(assuming at 5years old he wouldn't watch a film where he couldn't understand the dialogue) and every time Raymond Burr came on to describe what we were looking at, his little voice chimed in "Seriously!?!? This man again!?!?"

Toadhead is the upcoming novella by @grumpyandrew.bsky.social where he asks "what if Pixar's Ratatouille but murder?" and it is as gloriously demented as that sounds, threaded through with a rich seem of beautiful melancholy.

It's a perfect summer evening read. Releases later this month.

Clive Baker's Lord of Illusion is the campest film I have seen in a long while. The score has all the subtlety of a table leg being kicked up your arse by a 'roid raging Vinnie Jones.

The Outsiders is a film that seems genetically designed to get on my nerves, as so that is on my personal 'not list'. I think our household will be doing a double bill of Predator and Prey. (Predator is much better film of you miss the first two minutes)

Right... Let's get this show on the road. (Big pot of tea and pack of gingersnaps to hand and a free house.)

@grumpyandrew.bsky.social new book out very soon...

Excited to get an advanced sneaky peak

I'm adding this to my collection. It's been a good year for reading in the garden and this story sounds wild. Super excited to read this one.

Gallivant, Andrew Kotting's beautiful documentary is one for the ages. In face a good amount of Kotting's work involves people on a walk.

Also...The Before Trilogy.

Playtime every time.

Bring back Anna and Robbie!

These latest few shows have been prerecorded as Mark and Simon are on holiday.

It seems this new prerecorded version is superseding the Substitute team which is a shame. I think a decent compromise would be to have the subs do Take One and Mark and Simon do a prerecorded Take Two.

Dark River. Criminally underseen work from Clio Barnard.

Here's a trailer for my newest play that is opening at Duns Play Fest for its UK premiere on Tuesday 7th May 7:30.

So proud to be a part of this wonderful festival of new writing.

Congratulations, Mr Lyall.

Today tried to kick my ass. Today didn't realise I'm a tenacious bastard with a lot of reasons to stick around. I'm doing this the hard way. I'm getting better. No compromise.

If you're worried about someone tonight, pick up that phone and call them. Don't NOT call. Do it now.

This upcoming show (Bite Radius ) has the best costume designs.

Bite Radius costume designs are fricking ace. It has top tier knitwear.
