“Acid Box is a hectic adventure as club culture turns into an odyssey through space & time in order to save the world. It’s as if Doctor Who was all about the music, but it’s also all about the relationships. Enormous, heartfelt, fun!” - @PaulCornell.bsky.social (Doctor Who, The Witches of Lychford)

The collected Archaic by @mfolson.bsky.social & @sallycantirino.bsky.social & @gabcontrerasr.bsky.social is out now! (And it has a forward from me if that helps.) I love this comic. It’s a pure Spielberg adventure about an island of lost gods and the single Mom who… inherits it. #comics

The cover to the Archaic trade paperback shows various odd gods encountering our heroine and her family.

I have a ‘drawer novel’ I’m still rather proud of, and soon I’ll be publishing it as a paid serial via my @beehiiv.com Newsletter. It’s an Ian Fleming Does Mars thing, and I think it hits a lot of things my audience likes. But we shall see!

Just picked up a pair of @hammerfilms.bsky.social releases... though neither of which, despite the studio, fits my October challenge. Well, I know what I am watching afterwards, and I am keen to hear @paulcornell.bsky.social and @lizbethmyles.bsky.social's commentary on one of them.

The new 4K restored versions of 1950's The Man in Black, and 1977's Shatter, released by Hammer Films

Splendid good fun! And such a cool thing to have a chance to do. (Also gave me a timely reminder to pre-order their Curse of Frankenstein 4K restoration which looks INCREDIBLE.)

So @lizbethmyles.bsky.social and I recorded another commentary track for a forthcoming Hammer blu-ray today. Can’t say which one, but we had a great time. I’m so proud we get asked to do these.
