Joe McLaren's fabulous cover for Everything Will Swallow You

A close up of the small tear on this first edition of Everything Will Swallow You

I'm giving away this signed 1st edition h/b of my new novel (it has a tiny jacket rip which means I wouldn't sell it) to one person who reposts this.

You might like it if you like:
Folkloric creatures
Old records
Intricate psychedelic stories
The idea of circular time

All shares much-appreciated.

Thanks for having me. It was fun.

Pulling up the drawbridge.

What. A. Cock.

Does it? I made radio docs for the BBC for decades, and podcasts for ages as well. I can only think of a couple of times when I heard of people being ripped off (not by me, I stress).

It’s so shit, isn't it? Where in the process did they think ‘fuck it, no one will care/notice if we cut out the guy that actually wrote the book’?

Messaged you on Linked In (the platform all the cool kids are using).

Looks like a full kit wanker as well.

You *could* listen to a podcast that somehow fails to acknowledge me or my book. But if you value actual research and proper journalism, you can read the definitive account of EMI and Terra Firma here. (Hem hem.) uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I should point out that these are my responses to the book. D’s writing is entertaining and even handed throughout. Blame posting before coffee. Also; If he consumed all the mad (and no doubt overwrought) media referenced in the book, how his mind’s not rotted competely is a miracle.

Cover of Dorian Lynskey’s book ‘Everything Must Go - why we are obsessed with the end of the world’

Finally got round to @dorianlynskey.bsky.social’s excellent history of the ways mankind has been convinced the world will end. First three quarters of the book; weirdly optimistic. Last bit; “Oh my God! What are we doing? We’re all going to die!” #conflicted

Every local authority has been cut to the bone for years – this is common knowledge - but Grimey and his Reform chums swore blind that £millions were being wasted through incompetence and laziness. DOGE found fuck all - welcome to reality, dickhead.

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

Wow, that’s a crunchy way to start the day!

What about cats?

Also Chris Evans.

"Eamonn Mullally's wife snags top job."

Rats. In a sack.

JUST IN: Former Trump spiritual adviser and Texas megachurch pastor Robert Morris pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl.

He will serve only 6 months in jail and pay $250,000 in restitution.

EXCLUSIVE: BrewDog has announced it has sold its 'Lost Forest' after 250,000 of the trees it planted on the Scottish estate died

Ah, got it. Thanks - never seen it. Seabrook looks nothing like I imagined.

Have you heard the most recent @backlisted.bsky.social episode on ‘All The Devils Are Here’? Lots of discussion of this film.

Tommy Robinson will be organising a mass protest any time now.
..just wait...
..here it comes...

Didn’t know that. #nepowelsh

Just listened. Re; ‘who should read the audiobook?’ Young(ish)? ✅Air of disreputable danger? ✅ Kind of literary bent? ✅ connection with Kent Coast? ✅ Ladies & gennelmen I give you… Pete ‘Peter’ Doherty. You know it makes sense.

Will it make you really mad if I told you they were fantastic?

‘Sure, boss, loads of people have hair that colour…’

I've just sent an email to the Forfeiture Committee saying they must remove Michelle Mone's title for profiteering during a pandemic. How many British lives did her actions cost?
You might like to send an email if you feel the same way.

Reform UK have quietly reinstated the councillor that threatened the Prime Minister (and WAY more), without explanation.
