Back in the top 100 in psychological horror on Amazon. Let’s see if we can get it in the top 50. If you have friends who enjoy Southern Gothic Horror then tell them about Portraits of Decay. Also, give it a review at Amazon, Goodreads, and anywhere else with reviews

The latest pathetic attempt by Reform UK supporters to distance themselves from Nathan Gill and #ReformRussianBribes is to say ‘Reform UK didn’t exist when he took the bribes’.

UKIP > Independent > Brexit Party > Reform UK

That’s the path Gill and Farage took TOGETHER.

Not to spoil anything, but Star Wars isn’t really about stars. Very little star content in there. All of the action takes place either on planets or in outer space. You can see a few stars in the background sometimes but this is also true in movies like Titanic which don’t purport to be about stars.

This has lost me thousands of pounds (not to mention book sales) and put me in a state of terror and panic. I urge anyone thinking of moving their list from Substack, or wanting to know more about how Substack works, to read it....
I'm not going back to Substack. I will continue to post my newsletters from Ghost. But I did have to get back in there, just to post this and let people who thought I'd vanished know about this utter nightmare: substack.com/home/post/p-...
An Explanation (Which I Would Be Very Grateful If You Took The Time To Read)
What follows is a minor modern horror story.

If you would like a signed Everything Will Swallow You hardback for RRP + P&P, I have a fabulous selection of art by my mum, Jo, which I'm sending out for free (one linoprint with each book). Let me know your address via [email protected] while stocks last.

Sorry, this is just for UK folk, BUT...

Popped into Manchester yesterday and these were the images that persisted for me.

1. A Freddo tragedy.
2. THIS PAINTING.
3. Everywhere that was once cool now looking like this.

My D&D group in my 20s used to mock our DM for making us roll for lots of stuff that should just be auto-success. In my 40s, I can somehow crit fail brushing my teeth and throw my back out for a week.

Lovely people of Bluesky: Please support my prize draw! I'm giving away recent oil painting, "Water Washed By Wind", to raise money for Care Leavers this Christmas & will ship it (free) anywhere in the world. Entry is free, but any donations would be fantastic. www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...

Well,

The VA org (not VA itself) and the property messed up my rent payments ...

In short - I really, really need help with that go fund me, or just a car / wheels.

I need a home for Mo - I can't do that again, and she deserves better.

All I can do is ask.

I'mma be quiet for a bit. Love 💙
