Things I was afraid of as a child: — the toppled AIDS monolith and John Hurt telling me it would kill us all — a pennant of blythely psychotic Muppet Grover, eyes following me wherever I went. Even when turned to face the walk, his eyes remained visible, still following me. — Mr Noseybonk
Was going to have a go at ‘Vine Street’ but started flicking through this copy of @dominicnolan.bsky.social most recent book, ‘White City’ & decided to reread before cracking the other one…
My current crime read is VINE STREET by @dominicnolan.bsky.social Read WHITE CITY last year and was well impressed by it and this is shaping up to be just as good.
Fuck yeah
William Boyle@wmboyle4.bsky.social · 5mo agoExcited to announce I’ve got a new novel on the way in early 2027! Set over a single day around Thanksgiving 1991, HEAVY SUGAR is a screwball noir that pinballs from Throggs Neck to Gravesend. Thrilled I’m back with Nick Whitney at @sohopress.bsky.social.

VINE STREET IS 99p ON KINDLE One day only. Do it. "A career-defining performance" — THE TIMES Crime Novel of the Month "Crime writing of the highest quality" — DAILY MAIL "Extraordinary" — A TIMES/SUNDAY TIMES Book of the Year amzn.eu/d/cVAAd28
Twenty years after CONTROLLED BURN, his utterly essential American stories, there is finally another Scott Wolven collection. Each of his tales do more in a handful of pages than 99% of novels out there manage in hundreds. This is the real fuel.
This book's alright, and now it's incomprehensibly cheap to boot. WHITE CITY for 99p. At that price, you might as well buy a copy even if you own a dead tree edition. (Don't worry, authors don't require food or gas or leccy. We are fuelled by spite alone) www.amazon.co.uk/White-City-s...

Laura Shepherd-Robinson@laurasrobinson.bsky.social · last yr.Beach reads for the summer!!! Stylist magazine asked 33 authors for their recommendations, including me. I went for THE RUSH by @bethlewis.bsky.social and WHITE CITY by @dominicnolan.bsky.social www.stylist.co.uk/books/best-b...
VINE STREET was exceptional, but WHITE CITY goes above and beyond ― Ian Rankin One of the most interesting, brilliant crime writers around ― Jane Casey Mind-blowing...so much more than a crime novel ― Sarah Pinborough Dominic Nolan is one hell of a writer ― Mark Billingham
Stuff I liked the taste of from the first half of 2025 (list in alt)
An investigation into the missing occupant of a Margate flat turns into a rumination on the many ways people can disappear from places, and how places change and themselves effectively disappear, and how these things go hand in hand with the various movements of grief. Utterly superb, essential read
Fabulous review of VINE STREET by Jeremy Black in The Critic. Satisfying to see a book a few years old make an appearance in press pages, especially with a reviewer not adverse to putting the boot in. "This is a sprawling masterpiece... A major work of great power." thecritic.co.uk/murders-for-...

A week on Thursday, I'll be at Waterstones St Albans asking @heathercritchlow.bsky.social wonderfully unanswerable questions, such as why do we write? What is a character? When is crime fiction not a crime novel? And, most crucially, what biscuits go best with writing tea?
The boys are back in town… New Wyndham and Banerjee - book 6 - out 13th November 2025
Might give this a read, I suppose. Heard the writer's not bad.
One of my favourite podcasts that I've done, @nadinematheson.com and I had a good nag about writing these book things, the five ring circus we call publishing, and how failed dreams can lead to new ambitions. Spotify link (others in Nadine's bio): open.spotify.com/episode/19u0...

Was asked for thoughts on publishing by @interviewroomone.bsky.social "More bang average middle-of-the-road shite from corporate publishers, please. The quicker we get the process of publishing eating itself over and done with, the sooner we can build something interesting from whatever remains."
