I was lucky enough to beta read this phenomenal horror novel - believe me, you want to get yourself a copy. A visceral and deeply menacing debut.

Obviously I can't vote in the Gorton and Denton by-election, but my support is 100% behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social and Hannah Spencer. The Labour Party are looking increasingly obsolete, and Reform have increasingly shown their true colours as the party of racist and misogynistic self-interest.

i think it's important to remind everyone that you can already pre-order my next book, Quaint Folk, which i wrote entirely because i wanted to make fun of british people (its only a laugh, though, no harm done)

UK: 6.5% of the population is Muslim.

Monaco: 76% of the population are foreign-born. 20-30% are millionaires or billionaires, including Jim "we are being colonised" Ratcliffe.
