Angela Slatter 📚
@angelaslatter.bsky.social
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.
"Extraordinary. Simply, Slatter cast a spell over me with her elegant, knife-sharp prose, staggering twists and secrets, and especially a complex and nuanced protagonist who is smart, compassionate, and heroic. Our Lady of Battles, shines at every jaw-dropping turn.” NYT Bestseller Mary Pearson ♥️♥️
Spent part of today driving around Ipswich with Mum, revisiting old family homes & places of interest, incl. Castle Hill & the old mine where her g'father died in a mine fire (along with several relatives). I said "I have a mine disaster novel in me". Rolled her eyes & said "I'm sure you do!" Fair.
Allow me to mention, my fellow Brisneylanders, that the most excellent @pulpfictionbks has a pre-order link for Fitcher's Bird. pulpfiction.com.au/p/fitcher-s-...
Fitcher's Bird will be out on 6 Oct in the UK & US then in Oz on 13 Oct. Pls consider pre-ordering to help a writer keep writing terrifying & monstrous stories to give you, your children & your children's children horrible nightmares. 💜 to Alma Katsu for blurbage (and y'all should get Incarnate).
I have a new collection ready to go - do I just self-publish or kickstart it?
📚 New Review: Fitcher’s Bird by @angelaslatter.bsky.social Three sisters survived the fire. Years later, two disappear. @stephellis.bsky.social reviews this dark modern fairy tale from @titanbooks.bsky.social. Read: horrortree.com/epeolatry-bo...
Within these pages lies a compendium of fantastic tales from the dark gothic heart of the Sourdough universe... Have you picked up a copy of THE SOURDOUGH COMPENDIUM by @angelaslatter.bsky.social yet? ✨🍄 https://tinyurl.com/mrxu75hc
Sometimes I get to do really cool things. Like this one-shot for Blizzard's Diablo Immortal. bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/page_med... Thanks to the folks at @blizzard for asking if I wanted to do this and not being scared by the terrifying speed with which I said "YES".
Starting new novel, new ring added to the rotation for a novel set on the seas...
Ah, thank you @titanbooks for completing the set! 💙💜
Aaaaand the folk horror novellas... the Shirley Jackson shortlisted The Cold House and the soon-to-be released into the wild Fitcher's Bird. And soon we'll have a cover for By Fire, By Water. 💚 #agslatter #novellas #thecoldhouse #fitchersbird #folkhorror
I'm reading Briar Book of the Dead by @angelaslatter.bsky.social The only problem I have is how long I waited. I don't like books being this good when they sat in my TBR pile. www.goodreads.com/en/book/show...
The Briar Book of the Dead
Set in the same universe as the acclaimed All the Murmu…

Sourdough in a Launceston bookstore... Thanks, Ben Slatter for keeping me informed.
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.
