Lucky for you (The Wonderland Book Awards)

Damp out

Some interesting info on book distribution in this Savy Writes Books video: booktok vs Matthew and Paul, the Penguingate saga youtu.be/fpHMC8ZcY9c?...

We listened to The Bridge, by Iain Banks, where a man having a coma dream now exists in an eccentric, alternative Victorianesque world of men who believe themselves to be furniture, nightmarish train journeys and missing libraries. It goes from Scottish Alice in Wonderland to Kafkaesque

I don't mind it sometimes, on a Sunday, you know

Today's a perfect day to hide in the bedroom giggling at PG Wodehouse. I've not read the 1927 collection Meet Mr Mulliner before but it's as funny as ever

Book 2 of Tales From The Café by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, about the place where you can travel back in time if you sit in a ghost's chair while it's on a loo break but only while the coffee in your cup is hot, is still enjoyable and sweet but more death focused than the first? Maybe i'm misremembering

At first, I didn't like The Ladie Upstairs. I felt it piled on the grossness - black toothed crones fight pustule covered cooks in a dirty 19th century kitchen while footmen sleaze - in an annoying way, but once I realised something weird was going on the nightmarishness made total sense. Very good

David Tennant as Dennis Nilsen in Des is probably one of the better portrayals of a serial killer - he's selfish, ordinary and completely disgusting

"Tell us about a book that changed you" The Weird, edited by Jeff Vandermeer. I was halfway through The Palm Wine Drinkard by Amos Tutuola when I realised I couldn't give up writing and that there was a whole subsection for people like me who couldn't fit in

Ooh!

🐙🎉

Yep

Adham, the lawyer and a friend to many here, got his account deleted overnight. Gah. Here's his new account: @adham-mr.bsky.social

My friend @lofiguyart.bsky.social noticed they'd left out an important addition

Just started the Interview with the Vampire series and actually quite enjoying it. I like the fact that they moved Louis' human times further forward

The creation in Del Toro's Frankenstein reminds me a bit of the snail question andy316619 asked, "You get a million dollars but you die if the snail touches you. It always knows where you are and slowly crawls toward you, what do you do?" Maybe not the money bit, but you know, the crawling bit

Every scene of Frankenstein massaged my eyes with fashion and gothic melodrama, and of course Folk Horror Finchy (Ralph Ineson) and the man with the Victorian face (Burn Gorman) turned up

I'm really enjoying Dreaming Whilst Black, it's weird and funny and I like things about creative people being creative

Bill has a moustache comb and I can't cope with the cute

Alien invasion from the spider's perspective

I posted a picture of a spider in the group chat and @leighamshardlow.bsky.social turned it into a goth album cover
