Those Shadows books always look so great together. Thanks for choosing Green Fingers!

Black Shuck Shadows books

Work sent me a bookstore gift certificate so I stayed extremely on brand by spending it on weird british horror books @blackshuckbooks.bsky.social

Some good news overnight. Writing the Magic, the latest in our series of essay collections from Dead Ink Books, has made the longlist for the BSFA Awards! Thanks again to all the contributing authors, and congratulations to everyone on the longlists. #BSFAAwards2026

Board of Peace.

Well they seem to be enjoying our cover reveal for UNEARTHED over on Instagram. 1.2K likes so far, and counting.

Here's the full lineup:

Tananarive Due, Christopher Golden, Josh Malerman, Tim Lebbon, Eric LaRocca, A.M. Shine, Jonathan Maberry, Hildur Knútsdóttir, Ai Jiang, A. G. Slatter, Mark Chadbourn, Priya Sharma, Benjamin Percy, V. Castro, Gemma Amor, Cavan Scott, Premee Mohamed, Hache Pueyo & Steve Toase

I have a story in here. AI Cathedral.
Because AI is a false god that only leads to destruction. Unless something more ancient gets it first.

So grateful to @dancoxon.bsky.social and @pfracassi.bsky.social @titanbooks.bsky.social

UNEARTHED has been a long-term project of mine: co-edited with Philip Fracassi, it collects together nineteen brand-new tales of ancient ruins and archeological horror. Unearthed will be published by Titan Books on 15 September. Hold onto your fedoras, and keep an eye out for more info!

We're thrilled to reveal the cover of UNEARTHED, a horror anthology from award-winning authors and editors @dancoxon.bsky.social and @pfracassi.bsky.social which digs beneath the crumbling structures of historical ruins to reveal their archaic pasts, and their darkest secrets.

Out September 15! 💀

Book - Unquiet Guests from Dead Ink

Now reading - Unquiet Guests (2025), a collection of haunted house short stories edited by @dancoxon.bsky.social and published by @deadinkbooks.bsky.social

Really enjoyable so far, with a good level of modest experimentation with form and genre. Was surprised to see Palahniuk going Weird! #booksky

The collection is complete! These three books are invaluable for any speculative fiction author 🤘🏻

#1 Hot New Release in Amazon's Cosmic & Eldritch Horror category too, ahead of new books by India-Rose Bower and Ronald Malfi. I'm honestly thrilled and confused. Clearly I sacrificed to the right gods.

Erm, what the hell?

Inside Trump's deportation 'goon squads' that are blueprint for Farage's Britain Armed ICE officers ruthlessly swoop on US homes in the dead of night, rounding up men and locking them in shackles ready for deportation. The Mirror has watched them in action

Farage wants to bring Trump’s death squads to the streets of Britain. Together, we will stop him.

Yeah, consider me shocked.

I was thrilled to see that five of my stories appear on Ellen Datlow's Recommended Reading list this year, all of them from my collection Come Sing For The Harrowing ('In Flickering Light' is reprinted in Best Horror of the Year, where 'Beyond the Beach, the Trees' also gets an Honorable Mention).

Thanks Ian!

I feel kind of guilty saying it since the world has been such a bin fire, but 2025 has been good to me. A World Fantasy Award, haunted houses, magic, Neutral Milk Hotel, alcoholism in Wake in Fright, folk-horror and Best Horror of the Year. Bring on 2026.

Honestly, I enjoyed the queuing more than the ride.

Hope you enjoy it!
