From Irish writer David O'Mahony comes a collection of tales loosely bound by the things we and others leave behind them after death, whether that be emotional trauma, bodies trapped in ancient sarcophagi, spirits trapped in endless loops, or ancient entities awakened after…

Reminds me of when I asked it to tell me about my history research and it invented a list of articles I had supposedly written

Both my BlueSky and my Threads are almost entirely book related and I wish I’d revamped my social media like this years ago

It was worth a good bit of money to the film industry on the island

My novella WIP is about to hit 16,000 words and I've just magicked up a passage that could be worth a 2,000-word story or flashback. I'm thinking it'll be close to 30,000 once the first draft is done and I've started filling in the gaps I've left myself as a surprise/landmine (delete as applicable)

An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration. Tracy Barbutes/Special to the Chronicle

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

I watched it a couple of weeks ago for the first time in years, I'd forgotten about the chimney flue decapitation (crunch) and how every corridor in the house seems to stretch to infinity

One story for submission to a UK anthology finished, one for @gravesidepress.bsky.social needing another quick read, two older unpublished stories getting a dusting off and expansion to ship off for submission... never underestimate the motivational power of just finishing something

A Sumerian proverb, as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

We spent so much time reading Greek and Enlightenment philosophy when all the while it was Scooter out there asking the big questions, like ‘how much is the fish?’ and ‘the question is, what is the question?’

It’s a fantastic series

I was fortunate enough to see Brie Larson (one of my favourite actresses of all time) perform in Elektra at the weekend, a Christmas present from my wonderful wife
