"Andrew Hook’s slipstream Somnambulant Hearts is as deeply unsettling as it is darkly compelling. The collection perfectly enmeshes the texture, specificity, and lethal eeriness of Hook’s writing.” Eugen Bacon (@genni.bsky.social) blackshuckbooks.co.uk/somnambulant...

As it's been announced in the Black Shuck Books newsletter, I'm delighted to confirm that my (appropriately) 13th short story collection, "Somnambulant Hearts", will be published by them in June. blackshuckbooks.co.uk/somnambulant...
"The Good Men" can be read as a riff on the 1962 film, "Les Bonnes Femmes", directed by Claude Chabrol, but with the genders reversed and the action relocated from a Parisian domestic appliance store to a Birmingham garage... Only a fiver (plus postage) here: www.salopress.com/store-2/the-...

For those who missed the unboxing yesterday, my copies of "Union City" arrived. It's truly a beautiful book! It's not only about a film, but about filmmaking itself. I hope those who read it enjoy it! #blondie #deborahharry #unioncity
Unboxing video for my new book! (low res, badly scripted, the film is way better 🙂 )
