Excited to receive an early author's copy of UNEARTHED edited by @dancoxon.bsky.social & @pfracassi.bsky.social It features a standing stone-inspired short story by me. ReHistory is something a little bit different that I hope you’ll enjoy, inspired by Quatermass & Doctor Who’s The Daemons.

Lovely 4.5-star review of Where Once He Stood by Tony Jones over at Horror DNA. Really pleased that he managed not to give away too many spoilers, too! www.horrordna.com/books/where-...

For those who weren't at Readercon for the Shirley Jackson Awards (or didn't tune into the livestream at 1.30am, like I did), here's my acceptance speech that was played when they announced Unquiet Guests as joint winner of Best Edited Anthology alongside Ellen Datlow's Night and Day.

It's 1.30am here and England just went through to the World Cup semi-finals and I just won a Shirley Jackson Award and I'm not sure if it's the beer or the salty snacks but I'm wide awake and buzzing.

Unfortunately I can't be at Readercon this weekend for the Shirley Jackson Awards, but best of luck to all my friends and colleagues, and especially those of you on the Anthology shortlist with me. It's a fantastic shortlist this year - you'd all be worthy winners! #Readercon #ShirleyJacksonAwards

MCR at Wembley. OMG.

Both Nina Allan and Sarah Pinborough were winners in absentia at tonight's CWA Dagger Awards - but I'm taking that as a (double) win for the horror community! #cwadaggers #cwa

Has anyone among my geeky friends played Trench Crusade? Our eldest as shown an interest - at first glance it looks VERY dark, but interesting lore and a decent game system.

In case you missed it at the end of last week, here's the updated Cover Reveal bingo card with WRITING THE REAL added. There's still a mystery book scheduled for next month... I'm not going to lie, at this stage it might get knocked back to August. But it's coming...

23. Come Sing for the Harrowing by @dancoxon.bsky.social this is an excellent, eerie collection of new-weird folk horror short stories. my personal favourites were The Wives of Tromisle, A Broken Vessel, Our Sister of Blackthorn, The Darkness Below, and Long Gone (Slight Return)

I've been working on these two bad boys for the last few weeks. Two Boomdakka Snazzwagons, made from the same kit but with pieces swapped/modded from the remains of an Ork Trukk (note the crushed Fanta cans in the interior if you zoom in!) #warhammerpainting #warhammer40k #armageddon #orks

Everyone was out last night so I finally got around to watching this. Can't help thinking it would make an interesting double bill with A Dark Song. Might wreck me though.

20km walked. Don't have the official time yet, but around 4hrs 20 (including stops). Tired, but good. Also, I still need £10 to hit my sponsorship target. I can rely on you, right? mightyhikesfundraising.macmillan.org.uk/fundraising/...

Doing some research today. Honestly. #lovemyjob

The Doctor is played by Mackenzie Crook. He's grown tired and bored of all the save-the-Universe bullshit and has settled down in a cottage in Dorset, mending clocks. Each episode ends with him sitting in a darkened room filled with silent, broken clocks, crying.

okay let’s hear your wildest Doctor Who reboot pitches

Dear BBC journalists, you really do not have to 'debate' every far-right talking point that pops up on your X feed. It is not "deeply contentious" to suggest non-white people can't be English. It's racist. The word you're looking for is racist

I have a couple of review copies of my new novella WHERE ONCE HE STOOD, if anyone would like one. A strange tale of a missing child, time travel, and Satanic worship in suburbia. Message me if you want one, with details of where you review, and I'll do my best to get one to you.

Hit Cymera Book Festival and came home with lots horror novels: Stephen Graham Jones x2, Sunyi Dean, Charlotte Cross, Amy Jane Stewart. Haunted houses, Kowloon ghosts, vampire reckonings, and a Scottish fairy tale with a body count. Full haul review at.

Great start to #Cymera2026 yesterday with @dancoxon.bsky.social @richardstrachan.bsky.social @alexpheby.bsky.social and Hanna Kaner discussing character, worldbuilding, magic and some writing advice to take home: “If you think something you’re writing is ‘too weird’ the double down on the weird”

Thoroughly enjoyed being on the Writing the Magic panel at @cymerafestival.co.uk yesterday, with @dancoxon.bsky.social, Hannah Kaner and @alexpheby.bsky.social. Great discussion and audience questions!

It's exactly a week until I undertake a 20km hike with our 14-year-old, raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. If you can give a few pounds to a wonderful charity (and two pairs of aching feet), please follow the link. mightyhikesfundraising.macmillan.org.uk/fundraising/...
