Just watched Sinners. It's very silly in places but I enjoyed it, and I have to say I've never identified with the vampire as much as in this movie.

I had to keep this one under wraps since April, but I'm overjoyed to announce my inclusion in
@darkmoonbooks.bsky.social Horror Library Vol 9. I'll have more to say once the full author list is out, but I am incredibly honored to be included among an absolute banger list of horror icons.

This is a turnip that my daughter carved last Halloween. Time has ravaged his once youthful turnipiness and revealed his true soul. [Toothpicks for teeth].

In this collection of wickedly imaginative dark tales by Vivian Kasley, you’ll discover what sometimes lurks beneath the seemingly ordinary. All that’s left to do now, dear readers, is open the book and watch nightmares come to life.

Coming this Halloween!

In the Sunday Times today talking about Leonard and Hungry Paul, Julia Roberts and the whole business.

@ofmooseandmen.bsky.social
Pic on the Sunday Times article mostly pitched at the unlikelihood of a civil servant on a small press getting Julia Roberts involved in the TV show of Leonard and Hungry Paul. (Spoiler alert: it's down to the fact that she liked the book.)
