A note to the FBI: If someone asks Chat GPT "How to grind bones" then that means they could be a thriller/horror writer and not a serial killer. M'okay?

Ever since that NXVIM Netflix documentary, I have not trusted a person who wears a colored sash...And yet many therapists wear one...?!!!

"My mother she killed me,
My father he ate me,
My sister, little Marlinchen,
Gathered together all my bones,
Tied them in a silken handkerchief,
Laid them beneath the juniper-tree,
Kywitt, kywitt, what a beautiful bird am I!"

The Juniper Tree

Such a hard veneer, these polished ladies of Surbiton. And now two of them were dead and one was in fear of her life. Her mother had never been afraid, never been vulnerable in any other way.

A glitch in the matrix, a glitch in the algorithm, everyone stuck on repeat. Or maybe in retreat.
“I’m not really here,” Ania muttered again, and then she wasn’t.

Malevolent Fairy
BB Clifford

As the shape of misogyny grows, she remains trapped by men
and their acts and declarations that this growth inside her must be revered and protected.

This is how a horror story grows.

Malevolent Fairy. BB Clifford

“When we are born we are magical and loving and full of wonder. But darkness and ignorance surround us at every corner. Until the day someone calls us a monster or a devil and we believe them.”

― Philip Ridley, In the Eyes of Mr Fury

“But if we have learned nothing else, we have learned this: humans can walk away from, and forget, anything. Civilization can go back to 'normal' after anything.”

― qntm, There Is No Antimemetics Division

A sneak preview of Malevolent Fairy.

It feels like Halloween…

Malevolent Fairy is out now.

Am I writing a thriller or horror? I'm writing about the human condition, so you choose!

Anyone else read The Push (Ashley Audrain)? What did you make of it.
I am still digesting it...

The one with the heart and balloons. Amazing.

Bearded Tit

Finally made it to Scotland for the first time this year, and fair to say that we’ve started with a bang. Superb views of large numbers of Bearded Tits alongside the River Tay. #birdingScotland #birds #UKWildlife #photography #birdPhotography #birdsoftheworld #wildlifePhotography #nature #wildlife

Nobody. Wants. This. Audiobooks are an art form. AI narrators are not even remotely qualified to replace the talented human narrators. And I think Audible is kidding themselves if they think people are going to use a $12 credit on something read by a machine.

The spookiest Halloween read? 

You tell me.

Oh, @sarahgailey.bsky.social, this is brilliant:

“Her mother’s approval settles over her like a jacket that’s just a little too thin for the weather.”

Don’t you love that new novel feeling? 20,000 words done and dusted.

Beautiful precision from Sarah Gailey:

“In Vera's memory, Daphne Crowder was a tall thin square jawed woman with a tennis bracelet she never wore and a habit of biting through thread instead of cutting it.”

WIP alert! No better feeling than a new novel taking shape.

Yes, oh yes.

Just in time for the spooky season…
The Tangled Knot trilogy is available now.
