The time is NOW. Valenziaga will fall. Category is: Science-Fantasy EXTRAVAGANZA! Think Drag Race meets a gay Game of Thrones meets Chronicles of Amber. High drama and high CAMP! Spread the word! RT, tell your friends, shout it from the rooftops! BACK THE BOOK TODAY! #booksky bit.ly/3OIVfNs

The main characters in A Botanical Daughter both have silent letters in their names, X+Y: Rievaulx is a ruined abbey in Yorkshire, gothic and austere like Simon Sandys sounds like Sands, a reference to ‘Inspector Sands’ which is a common code for a fire (iykyk) Art by @angellilou.bsky.social

The pain of writing a banger of a sentence knowing no one will read it for probably years at this point!

Human authors cannot coexist with GenAI. The gardener carefully removes all invasive, self-sowing species of plants. If she didn’t, her whole garden would become a monoculture of weeds. If we want richly diverse human stories tomorrow, we cannot tolerate GenAI today.

Shout out to my therapist who researched some literary references I’d made last session, and came back armed with profound insight into the characters and how they relate to me 😭😭😭

I let my main character edit the trope map for his own book:

can I just. listen. *cups your face in my hands* l i s t e n go read @noahmedlock.bsky.social's book. it's ADHD x autistic gay couple. it's our marriage is kinda failing but surely having a baby will fix it. it's let's frankenstein the baby out of plants and fungi. shit fuck bad idea abort abort

Just seen my book for sale second for the first time — which is thrilling! We’re permeating the ecosystem 🌿 🍄 If you can get down to The Bookish Type in Leeds today, you can grab a bargain and support the store!

I finished reading it and it was SO DAMN GOOD! This was the best book I have read in a very long time. The story is well-paced, the characters are perfectly imperfect and the language is so delightfully witty! Go read „A Botanical Daughter“ !!! #ABotanicalDaughter

If you’d like a big hug from a plant monster, can I suggest Cʜʟᴏᴇ from A Botanical Daughter? 🌱 tender and inquisitive 🌱 made from 100% recycled materials 🌱 biological imperative to kill for you 🌱 mossy in all the right places

Over 30 million users on Bluesky now, so I'm bumping the starter packs, starting with my OG: Queer Masculinity in Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. Both authors and subject matter, people doing great work with exciting perspectives! go.bsky.app/32GAjzH

Yeah I didn’t hit my chapter goal for this week. But I’m cutting myself some slack, given… *sigh* Well anyway I’m cutting myself some slack

Time to write the most crucial component of any Noah Medlock novel: A tersely worded and devastating letter

I am VIBRATING with excitement to say that I’ll be playing Puck in a few months here in York! Calling it now — 2025 is my goblin era

My plan is to have a pretty clean draft of this eldritch ballet horror by the one year anniversary of A Botanical Daughter I just need to get a chapter out a day (these chapters are short at ~1000 words each) ?

A Botanical Daughter is cheap on Kindle US at the moment! Go fill your boots with plant-based Frankenstein realness — two gay dads grow themselves a daughter… of sorts 🌿 💀 🥀 If I say it has the found family trope I mean, like, found with a shovel #queerbooks #horror

Having a very disordered day after yesterday’s high. Feel like my nerve endings are tied in knots. Fighting back with a cosy cardigan and a new nail polish colour. Might have a bath later. Take THAT, central nervous system!

Just wrote up three stonking chapters if I do say so myself. SUCH a good feeling as it comes together. For a musicological horror, it’s coming out very pacey. I think this bonkers idea might work!

“I’m using ‘dick’ as a placeholder until I can find something better to shove in there” is something I just said out loud. Author problems…

Throwing my hat back into this platform for now — didn’t quite “get” it first time around Hi hello hi, it’s me Noah; I wrote A Botanical Daughter, a gothic horror about plant gays and gay plants

Wednesday I’m in conversation with @noahmedlock.bsky.social, author of the fabulous A BOTANICAL DAUGHTER! Please come join us if a queer horror tale about a pair of Victorian gentlemen dabbling in weird plants (and weirder science) is your thing!

Hugely enjoyed my E-ARC of @noahmedlock.bsky.social's upcoming A Botanical Daughter. If you ever thought Beatrice Rappaccini deserved more (and more plants!), if you like absent-minded mad scientists and queer love that may occasionally be murderous and fungal horror, you'll love this.
