Stew was kind enough to review Alien: Cult on Nerds of a Feather.

Thank you!

I think Milked by an Alien Cult has to be my favourite title. No ambiguity in that title.

I shall have a listen.

Alien: Cult In the affluent, technocratic Alexandria Colony, people are disappearing. And witnesses are dying in grisly, mysterious ways—it all reeks of Xenomorphs. At a loss, the Hume City police call in Special...

It's finally here! Thank you for your patience but Alien: Cult, the result of nearly 40 years of Loving the Alien* is finally here on 25/11/2025! I hope you guys love it as much as I did writing it: titanbooks.com/8789-alien-c...

Lovely review of Project Hanuman here:

And Crom Cruach laughs…

It’s Poe. I know it best from Orson Welles recitation at the start of the Alan Parsons Project’s tales of
Mystery and Imagination.

I was reminded of this quote this morning: "Without music or an intriguing idea, colour becomes pallor, man becomes carcass, home becomes catacomb, and the dead are but for a moment motionless."

You never want to plagiarise but my gods I'm putting a lot of effort into not using "It rains, you get wet." in current project. Such a concise way to sum up the consequences of violence. I suspect @oneblakeminute.bsky.social knows what I'm talking about.

Today's typo. Valahala. I just think it sounds more fun.

THIS is a truly magnificent cover. The fiendish @gavingsmith.bsky.social taking us into the Alien Universe, and you betcha life I’m reading this next. ALIEN CULT … Check it!

Many thanks to mighty @titanbooks.bsky.social for the copy!

Ooh, look what the book fairies brought me today! Excitement levels very high for this one. @gavingsmith.bsky.social ’s ALIEN: CULT is out on 25th November!

I have a very strong memory of D&D being banned in Inverness at some point in the 1980s because of the Satanic Panic but I can find nothing online about it. Can anyone else remember anything about this? Points if you know of any sources on the matter.

That’s a great book.

Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

Out on thursday in the UK;-)

I’m here for you, like a sad-angry monkey.

I can do this, doesn’t even have to be pinballs.

I'm a little bit late to this as ever but here is the first chapter of Alien: Cult, out later this year!

I thought Sutcliff was the immortal Boudicca's pen-name. (Sutcliff.)

She was born in the same village as my (not-so) local, we're going there this evening.

My kitchen table, with a box of copies of VIANNE…

First copies are here!!!
