My long-gestating book FULCI'S INFERNO is the DEFINITIVE writing on Lucio Fulci, delving deeper on the man and his films than anyone has before.

It is now available for pre-order from McFarland & Co, and will be released next year.

Link in bio, cover art below to whet your appetite!

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

I was THRILLED to introduce The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, share some anecdotes and put a shout out about my books (link in bio) at Cultplex!

Amazing photos by Asher Chan.
I am sitting in a green armchair. I am wearing a black shirt with white cartoon skulls. I'm holding a copy of my book. A red velvet curtain provides backdrop. Me, talking to a sold-out crowd at Cultplex cinema, Manchester. I'm holding a mic, surrounded by red drapes. They're all PISSING THEMSELVES WITH LAUGHTER at my funny, entertaining and charismatic talk.

Just saw the final cut of a forthcoming horror film where I had a small consultancy role recommending needle drops for the soundtrack - literally my dream job. And it turns out I am pretty good at it, so keep me in mind if this is ever something you need!

Just introduced a screening of The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue!

Another one ticked off the bucket list!

Oh yeah, tbh every damn thing about it. Both warms my heart immeasurably and puts me in a visceral existential panic, all at once.

I've been sitting on this one for a while, but I am SO PROUD to have helped co-produce the critical extras and provide a brand new audio commentary (with @joshnelsonfilm.bsky.social) for Arrow's spectacular brand new 4k release of Pupi Avati's iconic 1976 giallo THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS 🏠🤣🔪🎨

My thanks to @momoshaty.bsky.social , not only for inviting me to be part of it, but for the ridiculous amount of effort she has put into this incredible event.

I hope you're very proud Mo, and I equally hope you can give yourself a good rest afterwards!

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

...take advantage of our crowdfunder and get a copy of the book.

But I need to hear from YOU. What is the magic number, that is still viable to you? For a near-300 page book, ft 24 essays, artwork and stunning cover art, with shipping and tariffs?

Please reply or DM me
A tariffs calculator showing that, with tariffs, a copy of the Darkest Margins book would cost $96 to ship to the US.
