Some more info on the Xmas ghost story antohlogy I am included in!

PJ Montgomery@pjmontgomery.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Now all the creators are lined up, I should probably start giving you more information about the ghost story anthology. The idea is to aim for a release at the end of the year, in the run up to Christmas. The perfect time to curl up and read some ghost stories by the fire.

New episode! @bazgreenland.bsky.social hosts a roundtable with @mattroy.bsky.social, @brandiwine.bsky.social, @thenerdyblogger.bsky.social, @thelogbook.bsky.social, @b5historyman.bsky.social, @deekayy.bsky.social & Rahl Giver to talk the best of #Babylon5 season 3! open.spotify.com/episode/7nq9...

but in doing so invites an older and much more sinister force to balance the ledgers. Mat Troy (he/him, @mattroy.bsky.social) is a Welsh writer and performer with a love of folk, speculative, and cosmic horror.

New episode! Lyta takes on a Shadow ship, the new 'Kosh' arrives, and Franklin starts his journey towards recovery... @mattroy.bsky.social joins @lukewinch.bsky.social & @bazgreenland.bsky.social to talk #Babylon5 season 3's Walkabout. open.spotify.com/episode/02Oy...

Had a blast performing my spooky, immerse festive horror piece at DarK Winter Tales this evening at Porters in Cardiff. @mattroy.bsky.social was an amazing host, and delivered a great spooky tale alongside the talented Gordon and both Rachels! A terrific audience too!

This time next week, I'll be performing a #festive #horror piece at DarK Winter Tales at Porters in Cardiff alongside @mattroy.bsky.social If anyone wants to join us for some #spooky tales at #Christmas, you can still get tickets at the link below 👇 www.ticketsource.com/whats-on/car...

All the cool event posters for Dark Winter Tales 2025, mostly by @marielashlinn.bsky.social and one by @librarygordon.bsky.social too! I've been bad at updating Bluesky about this, but we've had 2 sold out shows so far & hopefully 2 more to come!! (plus 2 sold out performances of our play Dead Air)

Roedd digwyddiad adrodd straeon Calan Gaeaf ddydd Gwener yn Llyfrgell Cathays yn llawer o hwyl. Diolch i @mattroy.bsky.social a’n criw o storïwyr 'Hanesion Tywyll y Gaeaf' - Gavin Murray-Miller, George Sandifer-Smith a Rachael Llewellyn! Cawsom gwmni menyw ddirgel mewn gwisg ddu hefyd…

And we're back!

We’re at Cathays Library this Halloween for Dark Winter Tales – spooky stories for the dark half of the year, featuring Mat Troy and a host of great storytellers. Book a free ticket today! ➡️ tinyurl.com/3tj86nt2 @mattroy.bsky.social

My new play! Vibes wise- The Mercury Theatre War Of The Worlds meets Late Night With The Devil. Or Me and Orson Welles meets Ghostwatch. When a troupe of radio actors in 1930s New York begin performing their Halloween output they get more than they bargain for in the chilling tales.

Red Sprites are the coolest atmospheric phenomenon by far.

New episode! There's a mad bomber on #Babylon5, and Londo & G'Kar are stuck in a lift! Hosts @lukewinch.bsky.social & @bazgreenland.bsky.social are joined by @mattroy.bsky.social to talk season 3's Convictions. Only on @filmstoriespodnet.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/1gyW...

I think about Jack Parsons too much. Maybe it's him being the missing link between Aleister Crowley and L. Ron Hubbard? Maybe it's the pencil moustache? maybe it's the rockets? Maybe it's that he can lay claim to such a title as jet propelled antichrist? whatever it is, I love it.

Great fun this weekend just gone, taking the Big Words team to perform in the Big Top at Big Love festival.

Absolute belter of a gig at Riot Act Bristol last night, got to host the legends Attila the Stockbroker and Jeff Innocent as well as whole bunch of other amazing comedians and poets. Still buzzing from it! Loco Klub, is also a fantastic venue. Fantastic!

We love the quirky Afonydd poems. @mattroy.bsky.social poem takes on a modern tradition. booktour next: www.outsavvy.com/event/26717/... 5/6 18:30 @tigerbaynatasha.bsky.social #jomazelis #GrahameDavies @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social @mattroy.bsky.social @garethwd.bsky.social @pendweller.bsky.social

In our most recent episode, @mattroy.bsky.social mentioned that he wrote and drew a comic about Darren Aronofsky. Well, here it is.

@marielashlinn.bsky.social has a couple of stories in this anthology and it looks very cool!

Hosted Moonchild at Porter's Bar Cardiff tonight (people are going to start rumours that I live there!). Had an absolute blast, 4 people had their 1st go tonight, the most ever in one show! I enjoyed this one even more than the one I headlined, so great to be able to give people the platform!

Hosting this tonight! Come along, sign up, bring your sweetie, but don't let them sign up if they don't know how long 5 minutes is!

This was a lot of fun to record. Myself and my @measurefanpod.bsky.social co-presenter @mattroy.bsky.social talk B5 with a bunch of cool folks. Please do give it a listen.

Some incredible photos by my good chum Dom Pomes, who is not on Bsky, of me co-hosting Riot Act Bristol last night with its founder Samuel Cohen. The headliners were the West Countries finest, Wil Hodgeson (not pictured), and the inimitable Arthur Smith. Grumpy old man laureate!
