We went to see Urchin last night and whew, if this is Harris Dickinson's directorial debut, I cannot WAIT to see what he does next. A really nuanced, emotional film, and fantastic performances from Frank Dillane, Megan Northam, and Shonagh Marie.

The green poster for the film URCHIN (2025) which features a bare-chested and out of focus Frank Dillane.

If you like that, you're really really going to love the (sort of) sequel, The Miseducation of Caroline Bingley! I'm doing my final dev edits on it now and I keep making myself laugh

It's never too late to learn new things. Fill up those books inside your head, and pass them on.

I'm not sorry about my stance on There Will Be Blood (which is, great film but absolutely NOT the best film of the last 25 years, absolute nonsense from Rolling Stone)

Silent Screams is out now.
It's the first anthology I've edited and I love every single story inside it.
If you prefer your #Halloween scares quiet and filled with creeping dread, then this is the book for you.
eBook and paperback:
mybook.to/SilentScream...
#Horror #ShortStories #WritingCommunity

The cover wrap for Silent Screams, An Anthology of Quiet Horrors - featuring a striking, surreal illustration by Eric Brenner, depicting a screaming face with far too many eyes. The book blurb states:
The most terrifying horror stories don't churn your stomach. They creep like shadows, chilling with a touch. They build dread through atmosphere and emotion, rather than splatter and gore.

Welcome to Silent Screams, an anthology of quiet horror stories.

Within these pages, you will face strange and twisted scenes, dark and demonic characters, nightmares great and small, written by a host of talented authors from around the world.

These are shattering tales of grief and loss, visitations from strange folk, troubled dreams, and cursed artefacts.

These are whispers to make your skin crawl and your toes curl. Words to catch your breath and smother screams.

For our collaborative story in the forthcoming craft anthology, An Honour And A Privilege, Z and I wrote about a Black student protestor being beaten by ICE, who accidentally summons his ancestor from the grave to save him. If any filmmaker has the gumption to make such a project, hit me up!
