isfied she had time, Marie reached under the picture, found the edge and unfolded it gently. The rest of the picture came into view and Marie drew a sharp breath. The picture showed another girl. Or at least it showed her thick and wavy hair, red like James, not blonde. The rest of her face however had been violently obliterated with something sharp and thin that left a mass of jagged white lines. Beneath the white lines, a single word had been scratched. BITCH.

Thank you! It’s a little bit of both. Slow burn mystery, laced with supernatural that builds up to a slasher-esque finale!

👻 HAPPY RELEASE DAY 👻

The Devil’s Double by @ashericmore.bsky.social has hit the world 😱

Very graphic with scenes so vivid you can hear the crunch in your head. Even more disturbing is the psychological entrapment compounded by the equivocal narrative. You simply can’t escape!

HOW THE HELL IS IT NOVEMBER?!!

Morning #skywriters!

My commuting joy continues.

Heading to the midlands today.

Woke up at 4.30 to find that my train had been cancelled.

So, into the car I jumped and I’m now freezing my backside off in Toddington services, while consoling myself with a coffee and an all day breakfast wrap! 😎

Hey, here’s some more books I liked. You might like them too. #BookSky
#TuesdayRecs

As a veteran London commuter for almost 30 years I can say with quiet confidence that the Elizabeth Line is the worst rail service I’ve ever used.

Delayed every single time I get on it.

And I only go up to London once, maybe twice a week these days.

Utter shite!

The books badlands and bleak waters against a white and red background.

Dark deeds.

Stunning settings.

Strong female leads.

Welcome to Dark England…

Get both books for less that £2 until Halloween!

Was gonna crack on with Badlands 2 tonight but I’m now doing an emergency drive to North London and back to pick up my flu-struck eldest from his girlfriend’s place.

FOUR DAYS TO GO!

The book takes its name from the eerie ruins of St. Benet’s Abbey, in the Norfolk Broads.

The wooden crucifix stands on the spot of the Abbey altar & a brick mill tower was built inside the monastery gatehouse ruins.
