General PSA - my novella SHILOH has been taken out of print, along with the novella SACCULINA, and the story collections BEHOLD THE VOID, NO ONE IS SAFE, and BENEATH A PALE SKY. All of these titles will return in glorious resurrected fashion, mostly in 2027. More soon.

Excited to receive an early author's copy of UNEARTHED edited by @dancoxon.bsky.social & @pfracassi.bsky.social It features a standing stone-inspired short story by me. ReHistory is something a little bit different that I hope you’ll enjoy, inspired by Quatermass & Doctor Who’s The Daemons.
Was very pleased to see BOYS IN THE VALLEY cross 15000 Goodreads reviews. Thanks to everyone who read the book and took the time to leave a rating. www.goodreads.com/book/show/61...

Have a brand new short story to share with you guys! This was probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to write for a number of reasons. Honestly, I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to finish it, but somehow I did. So now I guess it’s time to share it with you. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...
BRAND NEW SHORT STORY - "From Way Up Here"
In which I share the most difficult story I've ever had to write. I don't know what else to say. Love you guys.

Hey Sydney-based friends, I left signed books behind today at Galaxy Books on York St, Kinokuniya, and Dymocks!
Steph and I are excited to be heading to Australia. We’re gonna spend some time in Sydney before heading to Melbourne to spend a few days on the set of SKELETONS.
Hungarian edition of BEHOLD THE VOID is pretty badass, and leans hard into the story "Altar", which I dig.
PSA: So folks are aware, my four titles from Lethe Press have been taken out of print. There are still some copies on the secondary market, but you will no longer find them via retailers. I'm working on a new home for these titles, and am confident I'll be announcing something on that front soon.
