Hello, I’ve an event for my Muriel Spark biography next Weds (15th) at Waterstones Liverpool. We’ve sold barely any tickets, however, and it might be cancelled as a result. Please get a ticket if you’re nearby - it’ll be a lot of fun, and I’ll bring badges! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/waterstone...
My mother (unburdened by the limitations of conventional thinking) was worried the cat might be too hot so she gave him a slice of bread from the freezer and we shared a private, knowing look

Extra Teeth@extrateethmag.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis week on With Bite we spoke with the effervescent @aliceslater.bsky.social about her writing career! Alice told us about her beginnings in writing, what feeds her and what doesn't (the dreaded networking), navigating book deals and most importantly, making a living as a writer!

I read #deathofabookseller by @aliceslater.bsky.social quite a while ago, but I loved it so much, I thought it deserved another look. Here are my favourite quotes and mini book review. @hodderfiction.bsky.social

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

I studied in Berlin in the late 90s. One Sunday afternoon on Alexanderplatz, I encountered what can only be called a super goth—head to toe black leather, corpse makeup, thigh-high boots, *batwings*—sharing an ice cream cone with his normie girlfriend.
Alice Slater@aliceslater.bsky.social · 6mo agoI love to see goths in the wild. Incongruous goths. Goths on the bus at 3pm. Goths in B&Q. Goths in big Tesco. I was at a farm the other day petting a goat, and a goth appeared next to me to admire the same goat. Fantastic.
My brain’s so fried, I just called a haircut “getting the trims”

I don't want to exaggerate but all of my hopes for 2026 are hanging on this novel described as "lesbian Malory Towers meets The Conjuring". It's out in March so I'll let you know.
