I had the honour of copyediting this. Andrew is one of the most singular non-fiction voices around. Writes and thinks like no-one else.

Just read this in a single sitting and I think I need a bit of thinking time now. Raw and stark and baffled by the hollow, tinny strangeness of it all. Basically, another unflinching study of male desperation to put alongside his other books. Really bastard good. As always. Bloody hell.

I got this in hardback and the skill of the writing suggests it was done and redone and rewritten but the energy of the prose says it was spewed out on cheap speed. Amazing. Would recommend.

"I was fascinated by the daring of the thought experiment (a kind of absurd companion piece to the film) and your ability to convey the energy and uncomfortable complexity of Klaus with such rigour and humour in spite of everything one might expect." - Nikolai Kinski Paperback out Nov 2026.

Live At the Witch Trials Collage made from 1960s Women’s Realm, Parade & Vogue magazines, 1960s wallpaper, Players cigarette cards, Ladybird books, watercolour, acrylic marker, felt tip pen

A colourful collage made from images of a the head and shoulders of a white woman in profile surrounded by drawings of a starry sky and pink clouds, a red and green apple with a slice cut out and a piece of brown and beige striped leopard wallpaper, surrounded by drawings of yellow leopard print and pink organic shapes that look vaguely like internal organs

A podcast was - and should still be - an enthusiast driven audio forum; a hand written fanzine about your favourite band or team printed after hours on the school photocopier. Not a celebrity fronted marketing exercise recycling an already successful TV show with one eye on a Netflix special. Fin.

There's lots of things great about living in Scotland, free prescriptions and free uni for example. But by far the best is having tattie scones on a fry up and readily available in supermarkets

This was something we said again and again in interviews and talks about the Ladybird books. When you give a child something made carefully and skilfully, they feel it. A treat. “For me?” We all remember that feeling. When you give a child something half-arsed, you tell them they don’t matter.

I keep seeing generative AI being used on stuff for kids, like maybe they won’t notice, or it doesn’t matter as much. The opposite is true. Anyone who’s created anything for kids knows you should make more effort for them, not less.

This is a cracking book which gives you an insight into the mind of someone who is swept up with a toxic man who works in comedy, but could be your boss, brother or husband. Excellent first novel by @jnraeside.bsky.social

If you pre-order my paperback from Waterstones between now and 31st July and use the code SUMMER25 at checkout, you get 25% off! Bargain. Also it’s an unputdownable page-turner holiday bonk-buster* which is perfect for your holiday. *not true
