AKA AG Slatter. Many gothic novels (okay 4). A Forest, Darkly coming in Feb '26. Several gothic novellas (okay 5). Some Awards. Hellboy U comic. PhD.
Fact: Aughra is peak crone energy to aim for. I will be answering no questions.
"What's writing?" "Words that stay." Damn you, Dark Crystal, crying again in the Henson exhibition.
As part of a series called "Angela makes inappropriate noises in public and scares docents", I kind of gasp-sobbed when I spotted these guys. Childhood memories of watching Sesame Street in different houses. Every time we moved, that was a constant to help us settle in. At GOMA for the Jim Henson.
The noise I made when I saw the little manicula - the mediaeval laser pointer of my heart - was both undignified and a sign of true love. 👈 #ourladyofbattles #agslatter #titanbooks

The leech lords may be gone, but all across the Sourdough world, children with darkness running through their veins are waking from dreams of blood... Just saying... The art is Edvard Munch.

Also in the mail, on the recommendation of @gingernutsofh, If We Survive the Night by Jo Salazar.
In the mail! The result of a fabulous Kickstarter from Allyson Shaw (northsea_witch). Ashes & Stones and (the main event) Widdershins - and isn't she an absolute glory of a book!? Foil! Florals! There's also a silk ribbon. My reward for when I finish the edits on View from the End of the World.
- The Path of Thorns, de @angelaslatter.bsky.social. En castellano publicado por Duermevela. Sigo mi camino de beberme lo que escribe esta señora. Masa madre-verso, perfectamente autoconclusivo pero con suficientes referencias a otras historias como para sonreir fuerte al reconocerlas.
Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton Pointing
Alt: Leonardo DiCaprio en una peli, sentado en un sillón con los pies encima de la mesa, con un cigarro y una cerveza en la misma mano, se incorpora y señala con el dedo índice de la otra mano hacia ¿la tele? en plan: "Ja! Pillado!"

Furious season finale = chef's kiss. Alice Black, Nora Washington and Catharine Grace would all fit in a Sourdough world police procedural.

Yeah, watching The Whisper Man even during the daylight and on one's own may not be the best plan...
In the mail! Thanks to @dan.coxon.author @pfracassi and @titanbooks 😁
Ep 7 of Furious. It's like staring down into the abyss, it's a form of self harm, it's completely enraging, it's utterly superb and unlookawayable from - it's a word. I don't want a second season because it should finish as a perfect self-contained gem of a thing, a pearl born of irritation.
