This arrived from Black Shuck publishing. No idea what it’s about, but it was recommended by a potentially angry ginger Scotsman with a beard and his two warhounds ( @gnofhorror.com ), and even I know that’s a line you don’t cross.. The Dregs Trilogy by @chris88.bsky.social #booksky
Thank you to Chris Kelso for the beautiful gifted copy of a book that surely was written just for me 😭❤️ This remains my favorite film of all time… (next to Martyrs and The Baby of Macon)

Hand-Me-Downs
Absolutely beside myself to announce that my new short story collection, Hand-Me-Downs, will be published very soon. In the past, the contents of my collections have been a mixed bag of genres and styles selected from everything I'd published in the previous decade or so, but Hand-Me-Downs is different in a couple of ways. It's my first purely horror collection and it's the first time I've written the stories to a theme with the aim of having enough for a book.

This is good book news. Kelso is really good.
