@tobyfox.undertale.com Hi Toby, hope you're having a great week. I'm working on a follow-up to my first book, and I'd love to have you involved by answering a few questions, if possible. I won't take much of your time - it'd be great to chat! Cheers, Nick.

Got your copy yet, Resident Evil fans? Maggie Robertson and Antony Johnston interviewed in my new book - available now!

Are you picking up Saros? If so, please consider grabbing my book, which released the same day! It features an in-depth interview with Gregory Louden of Housemarque, who talks all about Returnal. The perfect companion to a weekend of playing the new game!

A childhood dream has come true for me today. I’m now a published author. My book is available in all the bookshops I grew up visiting. I can’t explain the amount of times I’ve wondered if my name would ever be on those shelves alongside writers I admire and love. [....]

Excited for the Alien: Isolation 2 trailer? My book features an interview with director Alistair Hope, who breaks down how the first game succeeded after Colonial Marines failed. There's also a chapter on CM, with first-hand interviews from those who lived through the hell. Book out tomorrow!

Any gaming/horror writers who would like to review this book - drop me a message!

Hell of a screenshot. Wish the game was just a walking simulator, as it gets messy when adding anything other than atmosphere. But damn, that screenshot.

American pals! My book is now up for pre-order in the US. I’d love for you to check it out. Drop me a line if you’re interested and just want to know more! Amazon: www.amazon.com/Beyond-Fear-...

I’m curious…for those who use BlueSky often, have you felt your engagement dropping recently? (Ironic if this gets zero responses)

My quick review of Cronos: The New Dawn is live on Insta! Give it a read and drop me a follow! www.instagram.com/p/DT-j1HciO7...

Tried to do that 2016 vs 2026 trend for my writing and nearly all my online links from that time are dead.

Excited to reveal the full jacket design for my book, painted by the incredible @raydillon.bsky.social 🙌 So many references to what’s inside. Bold as hell. Exactly what I wanted!

Just got to the Hades tower bit in God of War 1. Pray for me.

Do you write reviews for a horror website/blog/account? I’d love to chat with you…

Playing Chronos: The New Dawn at the moment. The game is really nice until it throws lots of enemies at you in one place. The slower sections are so much more impactful.

The subtle little change in controller vibration when you’re about to spin some sixes in CloverPit. So good!

Starter pack time? Would there be appetite for a starter pack on here for people who are working on comics that will release in 2026? A kind of promotion and networking device. The other pack has been so good this year. Let me know! #comics #indiecomics

Quite an underwhelming set of announcements at The Game Awards? Might just be me.
