My backyard this morning
Duffer Falls in Washpool National Park and World Heritage Area.
Alan's small town horror is amazingly crafted and delivered. True masterpiece stuff - a tapestry of so much to get lost in, and creeped out by
I'm a big fan of Alan's writing, but the Gulp trilogy is perhaps my favourite
"We hear the warnings. We read the reviews. We know this place swallows people. And yet, with Baxter as our guide, we can’t resist stepping out of the truck and into the dark, welcoming streets."
Reviewed A.G. Slatter’s ‘A Forest, Darkly.’ A dark, atmospheric witch tale with a standout older heroine. More than just a fantasy, it’s about found family and survival.

I don't often write stuff about writing. But I wrote something about writing. And awards and how often my eventually recognised stories got rejected.

ICYMI, "Branches" is a short story by @mktighewrites.bsky.social about how sometimes every path you take can lead to loss. Read this one for its bittersweet multiverse and the impossibility of letting go.

Today my daughter finished breakfast and asked for some ‘walking around bacon’. She might be a genius
Imagine these scenarios for the hard-to-gift-for person in your life:
1. You buy them my book. They have no idea who I am. Unique gift!
2. You buy them my book. They know who I am. They are intrigued.
3. You don't buy them my book. They still have no present.
