Ravenglass came out last week, and we would love to hear from anyone who's started reading it.

Here are some of the quotes we've had so far; our favourite is still whoever called it "Baroque and Roll" 😍

5/5: This wouldn't normally be my 'go-to' type of reading (I'm not the biggest fan of ghost and/or horror stories) but I really enjoyed this collection. It's weird and fun, and with so many stories in...

Yes, as @northodoxpress.bsky.social says, thanks so much to all who posted photos of Hostile Environments in launch week, and it's got me wondering, what's the collective noun for a group of Hostile Environments? A threat? A riot? A murder? 🤔

Northodox Press 📖 @northodoxpress.bsky.social · Aug 16
