Scully: Victim was strangled. Mulder: Scully, hear me out. What if through some quirk of evolution, demon spiders from the future built a murderous human suit powered by ghost crystals? Scully: Mulder, that's absurd. CUT TO: INT. DEMON SPIDER CRYSTAL WORKSHOP. NIGHT.
Having a bit of an X-Files rewatch, and I'd honestly forgotten quite how much it's just "The Adventures of the FBI's Most Special Boy and his Dumb Idiot Partner Who's Always Wrong".
So, a bunch of folks are getting their preorders of my latest book (lovely!) and so I'm getting tagged in a lot of posts that say "It's finally here!" The problem is every time I read that my brain autocompletes "Performing for you / If you know the words you can join in too!"
It's a little later than planned, but our highly anticipated reads are here! Anyone who's been in our store is well aware of how much I adore these authors, and these both released last week! If you're into all things eerie, unsettling, and a little disgusting (in a good way) check them out! ~ El
This evening! I'm going to be talking and signing THE BURN LINE at Topping & Company in Edinburgh. Hope to see y'all there.
There's a suffocating heatwave, I'm in London, I'm already moderately afraid of the Northern Line... what better time to dig into @jonnysims.bsky.social's THE BURN LINE, out today? Excited about getting stuck into this one later, assuming I don't get devoured by anything subterranean in the interim
Oof, pretty hot today, isn't it? Well you know what'll make it hotter (but, like, in a good spooky way)? It's the UK release date for my new novel THE BURN LINE! Available now from all good bookshops and a few of the mediocre ones! Come burn with me!
