cold and by accumulation, building his dread like slow weather until it is already at your collar. He writes a ghost story with the rigour of a locked room, so the supernatural never feels arbitrary; it feels earned, it feels fair. gnofhorror.com/the-lamp-in-... @tommeadauthor.bsky.social

What an amazing day at Newark Book Festival! And such a perfect way to celebrate 10 years. The brilliant Tim Rideout moderated a "Battle of the Genres," and I had the honour of duking it out with the wonderful Laura Purcell, Marcia Hutchinson, and Mia Kuzniar.
What are city trips without breaks? Even better with a book in hand, sitting in a park. @tommeadauthor.bsky.social
Thrilled to be launching "The Lamp in the Window" as part of this Halloween festival!
Trying to read as many books as I can this year, and break my previous record of 18. I'm up to 10 so far and I'm almost finished with Cabaret Macabre by @tommeadauthor.bsky.social (delightfully weird, I'd highly reccommend). What's everyone reading right now? #readingcommunity

On a short break from my travels (June is indeed a hectic month) I spent some time signing 200 tip-in sheets for the special collector's edition of THE LAMP IN THE WINDOW!
Q. What role connects Jack Lemmon, Alan Alda, and Indira Varma? A. Poor ol' Shelly 'The Machine' Levene Glengarry Glen Ross is such a sharp, funny play. The Old Vic's new production is great, and highly recommended
All the Spectors, including THE HOUSE AT DEVIL'S NECK, signed at Foyles Charing Cross Road!
