Amazing. Great work.

Remarkable essay in the form of marker posts, a haunting record of a walk through landscape, encountering nature, human activity & industrial archeology & recording evidence of personal endurance & the menace of nationalism & reflecting grief for a lost friend.

I did like those early stories.

More of their crap going in the recycling. Might as well get some good out of it.

Whenever I come across child-killers’ literature in book exchanges, I take it away – and recycle it.

Very happy see my story ‘Helium’ in here alongside so many great stories and writers. Many thanks to @nicholasroyle.bsky.social and @saltpublishing.com and @fictivedream.bsky.social

On a TGV, running a slight delay, which could affect my connection. SNCF have emailed me, saying they’ve booked me on the next one should that be the case. Just sitting here, watching the French countryside fly past, trying to imagine that happening in the UK.

About time too @mjohnharrison.bsky.social

Please don’t worry. Now I know it’s large format I’m not so interested.

Is it one of those weird large format things?

What the hell is that? I’ve never seen it. May we see the spine & back cover?

Love that about the buses.

That book was a bestseller. A fact that makes it stand out rather on my CV.

I can’t take the credit, Stephen. For Marlowe, yes, but not for Behm.

No, was a smaller charity *looks up LSA vases*

*shakes head*

Weary traveller entering suspiciously smart-looking charity shop in Chelsea: Hi. Do you not sell books?
Volunteer (half amused, half confused): Books? Not at the moment.

Thank you, Marc, you’re a gent.

Did anyone else not receive the emergency alert who wanted to receive it?

Thank you to @dustynewrose.bsky.social for new Paris Fantastique-themed profile pic.

Excellent! I pitched an article about finding interesting things in books in @nationaltrust.org.uk second hand bookshops to NT magazine, but they passed.

Did you laugh?

What a difference a single word can make.
