Second book of the year finished - Hunter Of The Grotesque by Edogawa Rampo. It's in two parts which are completely different to each other, the first part being a pervert's descent into madness, the second being a ludicrously twisty espionage thriller. Enjoyed every page.

For the benefit of nobody really, here's all the books I read in 2025 (excluding comics). Full written list is in alt text. All of these were great, all recommended. Although Mr Bridge is a sequel to 'Mrs Bridge' which I'd recommend higher.

Here are pages from two new parts of The Hollow Work I started over the Christmas break. 'To Breathe Space' and something new about mountains which is easy and might get dumped unless I can do some truly amazing writing to accompany it.

Am pulling together an anthology called 'The Hollow Work' using my own art, and inviting writers to do whatever they want with it. Three writers agreed and three bunches of art done already. A long way off being finished though.
Two pages from different sections attached.
