I Would Haunt You(r Ebook Reader) If I Could

Lestat & Louis from Interview w the Vampire (1994). Louis looks exasperated by Lestat and is raising his hand to the side of his face, to cut off whatever Lestat is saying: By Lestat is the word "Life" and by Louis are the words "Me, trying my hardest to enjoy spooky season."

Oldie but goodie, and still very apt. HAPPY FRIDAY!

When you’re publishing your publisher friend. @alexwoodroe.com wrote an amazing horror sci-fi banger! So stoked be publishing her!

Okay, good news for those hungry for it: Heard from my friends at Deep Overstock that the eBook for FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN has been submitted to IngramSpark. Once it gets approved, it'll be available for 5 bucks whereever ebooks are sold & the dope physical copies are still available all over!

And here is that very copy of All the Devils Are Here (yes I look after my books, because they are my friends). Twenty years and counting! Anyway I’m very proud to have played a part in giving new life to this particular old book. Loved revisiting it on the new @backlisted.bsky.social.

I read this book last year and it became an instant favourite. If you're looking for non-fiction that feels grubby, liminal and haunted, then this is the book for you. In the first Backlisted ep Rachel Cooke describes Seabrook as someone you feel both afraid of and for. That's really stuck with me.

Wonderful! Extremely glad to join you!

Thanks Karlo!!!

Thank you so much!!

Mega excited to have a story in Weird Horror #12 next year! One of my favourite magazines to read and it's a big honour to be part of it!

Warms my frosty heart to be part of this. 27 gloriously snackable stories! Out now for nine quid! For The Wildlife Trusts! Even if you hate my story, you can't possibly hate all 27 AND animals AND the concept of charity!

Ooh I read The Lost Lady by her last weekend! Absolutely planning to get to this one too. Glad you enjoyed!

I, personally, think it's very concerning to be attacking someone online for exploring ideas through fiction at a time when everyone is being encouraged to funnel their creativity through generative AI instead. I think it's bad to try to punish people for making art you don't like!
