BOOK OF DREAMS & GHOSTS 1897 Andrew Lang, best known for the coloured fairy books, was President of the Society for Psychical Research. The book poses some fundamental questions: Do you believe in ghosts? How do you define a ghost? One of the best looking ghost books. That cover! #SpookySunday

Would you still love me if I was an ungeheuren Ungeziefer?

🌿I'm going to be published!!!🌿 It's surreal knowing people are going to read about all the (damaged, dreadful, decaying) characters I've grown to love over this past year. I'm so proud of my weird little skeleton book!💀

Wrapping up 2025 by finishing a round of manuscript revisions and remembering that time my partner and I took a road trip across Scotland. Here's to another year of travel!

my new hobby is pronouncing it "Florence Plus The Machine" until people ask me if that's how they should say it

Spent my time in the "between projects and looking for inspiration" doldrums fixing up typewriters and listening to Harrow the Ninth. My pride and joy is looking pretty spiffy with its new ribbon covers 👀

Grace would immediately forget she had it and then go back to threatening everyone she meets with a straight razor. Either that or use it as a nervous fidget and commit accidental manslaughter😅

How much would your book/wip change if your MC had a gun #WritingPrompt

it's interesting what happened to the Hell House LLC series. the first one was just a really efficient haunted house of a movie, one good scare after another. it did well and the screenwriter's eyes rolled back in his head and he started mumbling "more lore, more lore"

From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

New profile blurb, who's this? 🌿👀🌿

This may or may not also be a spoiler for the whole second half of the book

The Barrowvine Saint would smell like an oddities shop if it was set up in Mammoth Cave and drenched in blood.

What would *your* book smell like if you engaged in a mega weirdo scented pages promotional campaign?

RIP my sense of smell. 5 years without covid and the woman in row 26 just *had* to cough the whole way from Edinburgh to Dulles 🙄

Your characters are headed to a harvest festival. Who's buying all the candles and soaps, who's getting lose in the corn maze, and who's just there for the cider? #WritingPrompt

Pippin: yeah, I've been working on my mental health. I've limited my time looking into the Palantir of Orthanc to 3 hours a day.

I mean, Eschatological ideation often arises in moments of sociopolitical upheaval as a kind of hedge against uncertainty, even tho the referent text explicitly says "none shall know the day/hour" & basically tells you to live your life like god might call you to account any second but sure, fuck it

Currently vacillating between two prospective projects so fast it sounds like beetle wings. To prequel, or to sequel?

Halfway through my first week in 8 months of not working on this novel and realizing that writing really is the one thing keeping me sane

#HIGMA, part 1/? Back in July, I signed with my agent to represent my fantasy horror novel, the Barrowvine Saint. Compared to my two previous querying journeys, this one was certainly a roller coaster. Even after a couple months, it's still hard to believe this is happening! #writingcommunity

I'm in my early 30s, so one out of two ain't bad, I guess. Does it help if my occult detective is *also* a gin-soaked wreck?

You must be at least 40 and a gin-soaked wreck before you even think to turn your creative attention to the Occult Detective.

Whoever invented the Kalita Wave is definitely going to heaven when they die ☕

After 10 solid months of writing, revising, and querying this project, I've just submitted my first round edits to my agent. The sense of accomplishment feels like I've drank 3 cups of coffee - no, wait, I think that's just the coffee 😅
