And yes, there is a story called 'What Would Nicolas Cage Do?' in my collection. Nobody tell him.

Thank you!

Lovely!

In the meantime, I plan to spend tomorrow catching up with some reading, so silver linings and all that...

Thank you!

Thank you!

It's been three weeks since @titanbooks.bsky.social published my Collected Short Stories, WHO WILL YOU SAVE? featuring 32 of the very best stories drawn from my 20-year career. I hope you've been enjoying it. If you haven't read it yet, you can find links here: tr.ee/1bNmUSTL1b

Thanks

There are lots of yellow books on my TBR pile right now.

Pictured: Billy Summers by Stephen King, Creation Lske by Rachel Kushner, The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler, and Dead Luons by Mick Herron.

Just a reminder that instead of posting NO DMs in your bio, you can simply go to your chat settings and disable them.

Being a mood reader, I'm much the same. And Piranesi is on my list for when I get around to it...

Future's Edge and Stars and Bones by Gareth L Powell

If you like your aliens terrifying, deadly and relentless, try these horror-tinged voyages into universes more dangerous than we could possibly have imagined, where it's not just the endless freezing void that will chill your blood.
