Two people posing for a photo. One of them is me, and the other is author, dreamweaver and duke of darkdom Garth Marenghi.

It might look like I'm stealing Garth Marenghi's new book, but rest assured that he charged me full price for it, along with a substantial additional fee for signing his name in it.

Same as the previous post but presented as a book. This time the font has more of a 1930s feel.

Aaaaand here's the UK version. Gone for less Tim Burton more a classic 1930s feel which I also love and fits the book really well as it's a whodunnit.

I love them both.

Really enjoyed Del Toro's Frankenstein. Worth seeing in a cinema if you can!

I'm so glad you enjoyed! Thank you for taking the time to let me know! ☀️❄️

Oh! This is basically the plot of J. O. Morgan's Appliance

This is how you blurb

this is a classic blunder

Litfest’s event on co-writing novels kicks off with a reading from THE NEEDFIRE by “Mo” (one half of @mkhardywrites.com) exploring the border places, equally linked to @oliverklangmead.bsky.social’s mysterious CITY OF ALL SEASONS which we turn to next…

Went to Tron: Ares for the soundtrack, came away also super impressed by the CG. The script's pretty basic, but I had a really good time. Deserves better than a lot of the reviews it's been getting.

A tree in the middle of the road

If you see a tree in the middle of the road, please be patient as it takes time for them to cross

why has the political discourse in this country become about appeasing the racists - is the racist vote really that overwhelming?

"designed to sound genuine... and credible" hah

The Publishing Industry Has a Gambling Problem | The Walrus Companies keep betting on the next bestseller. Literature is poorer for it

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...
