💥Another review for TOADHEAD💥
⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Toadhead is a weird and enthralling novella. As the story progressed, it had me on the edge of my seat!"

I'd certainly watch the first episode first and the last two in last place, but other than that you can pretty much go hog wild. I wouldn't recommend anyone watch the penultimate episode as their introduction to the show like the OP suggests!

🐸🔪 More love for TOADHEAD!
I am thrilled that readers are empathising somewhat with my monster. That was one of my secret hopes.

TOADHEAD has hopped it's way into the top 100 of British horror fiction.
(I know toads don't hop but let me have this one)

My friend Andrew's new book TOADHEAD is out today. I was lucky enough to see an early draft and I can't wait to read the finished version.

It's creepy and weird yet retains a sly sense of humour throughout, even (or especially) when things get disgusting (in all the right ways).

I ordered my copy today, so YOU should, too. If it's anything like Andrew's first two books, it'll be excellent. Go support fantastic talent.

Someone has taken a chance on my overlooked 2nd book! Overlooked because I never knew how to market it, but I do LOVE it.
If melancholic, post apocalyptic fairy tale intrigues you then I'd urge you to read the reviews on Goodreads & Amazon and maybe take a chance yourself!

Superb! And it's nice to see that Anguiras still gets some love.

TOADHEAD arrives in 1 week!

I've got to a point in my life where my favourite fictional character is probably Godzilla, and I'm okay with that.

C'mon, we all know Donny doesn't read.

"If Toadhead had appeared in the pulps of the fifties and sixties it would be a classic by now.

Toadhead is the upcoming novella by @grumpyandrew.bsky.social where he asks "what if Pixar's Ratatouille but murder?" and it is as gloriously demented as that sounds, threaded through with a rich seem of beautiful melancholy.

It's a perfect summer evening read. Releases later this month.

TOADHEAD is coming on 25 July 2025.

I'll be sharing the first 3 chapters over the next 3 weeks and you can read chapter 1 here: open.substack.com/pub/andrewl...
