Not sure if it's safe to have in the house while we sleep, to be honest, Rex.

This is a turnip that my daughter carved last Halloween. Time has ravaged his once youthful turnipiness and revealed his true soul. [Toothpicks for teeth].

Hello Evening Crowd - a host of haunting tales for you tonight! Tis the season

Howaya, Womble. I'm wallowing in vodka and drugs, late night parties and clubs in Belfast with Close to Home by Michael Magee.

If you see this, post a bridge.

All’s Well That Ends Well a collection of wickedly imaginative dark tales by Vivian Kasley book cover

In this collection of wickedly imaginative dark tales by Vivian Kasley, you’ll discover what sometimes lurks beneath the seemingly ordinary. All that’s left to do now, dear readers, is open the book and watch nightmares come to life.

Coming this Halloween!

Pic on the Sunday Times article mostly pitched at the unlikelihood of a civil servant on a small press getting Julia Roberts involved in the TV show of Leonard and Hungry Paul. (Spoiler alert: it's down to the fact that she liked the book.)

In the Sunday Times today talking about Leonard and Hungry Paul, Julia Roberts and the whole business.

Good afternoon, Womble. I have just wrapped up Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle. It's the third novel of his I've read. I like his style.

As a native of Navan, I'm dismayed and disgusted.

Just watched Jakob's Wife and loved it. Grubby American realism, cheap, old-fashioned, and brilliant. Imagine Hal Hartley made a vampire movie, or Buffy for the middle-aged.

Sceach Gheal It's not that I exactly believe in them, see. It’s just, why would you risk saying you don’t?

New story is available to read now in Strange Horizons! 'Sceach Gheal' is the Irish name for the hawthorn, a tree often associated with fairies, not that anybody actually believes in fairies... or do they? 🧚‍♂️ 🌳 🇮🇪 strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...
