Book post is the best post. One of my wife's picks this time. Learned about it at @cymerafestival.co.uk and she got the details from @vlatinalondon.bsky.social directly.
Turned up early. Nice!

Got my copy of Tales of The Dark Feminine by V. Castro @vlatinalondon.bsky.social from my indie. She had it in her hands waiting for me. It looks so good in the store but feels better at home.
This book is gorgeous with it's gold foil, beautiful artwork, and the blackest of black sprayed edges.

This comes out on Tuesday! Grab your copy!

My indie is pretty great, but very strict about release dates.
She told me I had a preorder come in but I couldn’t have it until next Tuesday.

The book: Tales of the Dark Feminine by V. Castro.
V. Castro @vlatinalondon.bsky.social would be so proud of her.

Featured: a woman goes mad over the colour yellow, another is trapped under the escalators at Bank / Monument tube station, and another faces a gothic irruption of London's working-class past in a cursed new-build apartment. Should you like that kind of thing.

Pssst... can I interest you in a tasty little micro-collection of three of my short stories for 99p / 99c or FREE on Kindle Unlimited?

Cover of London Weird, a micro-collection by Ally Wilkes. The cover is black and has an ombre fade pink/purple map of London at the centre. The graphic reads OUT NOW! and AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON.
