Great to see "The Great Dick" by Barry Maher hitting the shelves from @crystallake.bsky.social. "The Great Dick is a hot, sweaty, magic- and murder-infused rollercoaster of a story that takes you in every direction except the one you're expecting. I loved it."

Really excellent issue of @screamhorrormag.com received today. Loved the feature on the lack of JAMES HERBERT film adaptations - something I spoke to him about back in 2013. After the flawed AUTUMN movie, we realised we had a mutual frustration with film!

One of my favourite of my own novels. It was inspired by a dream, and there's still something unsettling about it. My anti-science-fiction novel - TRUST

You absolutely should, but brace yourself. Even after several decades, it 100% lives up to its reputation.

Office assistant Sydney and I arrogantly recommend that everyone watch THREADS at least once. I've just discovered it's on TUBI in the US and iPlayer in the UK, so US/UK folks have no excuse.

Perhaps the most important and unsettling film ever made. Still haunts me 40 years after my first viewing.
