The cover of Lionhearts by Dan Howarth showing a Lion's face on a blue background

Fantastic new novel out today from my friend @danhowarth20.bsky.social.

LIONHEARTS is an ugly story, one that’s difficult to read, but that makes it all the more important.

Happy release day to @danhowarth20.bsky.social

Book cover of Lionhearts by Dan Howarth. The head of a lion features against a vivid blue background. The tagline reads - Don’t Let Them Sink Their Teeth In

👻 HAPPY RELEASE DAY 👻

Lionhearts: Northern Ashes by @danhowarth20.bsky.social has hit the world 😱

Henry must make a choice between redemption and darkness, knowing that violence will come with either...

This Is England meets Taxi Driver; a propulsive novel written for these dark times.

🩸📚😱📚💙📢📚

I get the feeling @danhowarth20.bsky.social's new one is going to have some very big and important things to say about the state of this country...

A mainly text heavy graphic says: From pen to print: Dan Howarth on Lionhearts. Dan is pictured at right in black and white, alongside the book's cover, a striking image of a lion's head face-on in blue ink.

With his gritty new novel unleashed tomorrow, 21 November, on his own Northern Republic Press, @danhowarth20.bsky.social walks us through the genesis of his “very nearly book”, Lionhearts.

Lionhearts cover transposed with a slogan.

Wrote something on Substack about writing to be remembered, writing books, the fear and the fury behind my forthcoming novel, Lionhearts.

A split graphic. On the left the book cover for a horror anthology, Blood In The Bricks, depicts a sinister figure with a rat's head standing in a dirty lane with a spray can in his hand. The tones are yellow and brown with splashes of red. On the right, "Nineteen chilling tales of urban folk horror" and several glowing endorsement quotes.

It's officially launch day for Blood In The Bricks! It's folk horror, but right here in our towns and cities, written by some of my absolute favourite contemporary writers. Get it now (or They'll pay you a visit).

We have an extremely hectic and ambitious publishing schedule this year, but each and every book we've done makes us proud 😍

Only 1 last cover to reveal for the class of '25, and it's a special one!

Unsolicited writing advice: no. 8075: There is no such thing as serious writing. There are only writers who take their work seriously, and those who don’t. Tragedy is no more “serious” than comedy. Children’s writing is no less “serious” than writing for adults. Good writing is wherever you find it.

Jesus Christ Kinski by Benjamin Myers review – a trip inside the frazzled mind of Klaus Kinski The German actor’s real-life meltdown is the springboard for this compelling autofictional account, in which the author sets out to write about Kinski during lockdown

"This fitfully engaging narrative experiment isn’t really about Kinski or even Myers so much as the 21st-century cultural marketplace. As lapel-grabbing rants give way to downbeat musings, the book exerts a strange charm..."

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 154:
Feed your writing daily. Feed it with fiction, non-fiction, news, games, theatre, films, art. Feed it with conversation. Feed it with experience. Feed it with curiosity. Don't expect to get anything out unless you also keep putting in.

🩸 “I refuse to write anything that doesn’t scare me.”
This week, I revisit my powerful conversation with @ericlarocca.bsky.social — author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and one of the most fearless voices in dark fiction.
