I so hope this is real...

Nationalism, in all its raggedy-arsed, hateful glory. Still making you feel proud and patriotic?

Today we're chatting with Curtis Jobling about his latest book, WYRDWOOD! @curtisjobling.bsky.social @foxandinkbooks.bsky.social #UKYASpotlight #UKYA ukyaspotlight.co.uk/2025/11/03/a...

Over on @ukyaspotlight.bsky.social, an interview with Curtis Jobling about his YA folk horror, WYRDWOOD @curtisjobling.bsky.social @foxandinkbooks.bsky.social #UKYASpotlight #UKYA ukyaspotlight.co.uk/2025/11/03/a...

I’d planned to ration #Wyrdwood over Halloween but kept getting into a “one-more-chapter” situation. Now I’ve finished it early. @curtisjobling.bsky.social evokes a wonderful sense of place. I love the way the scares build up to a perfect storm of action and thrills. Immersive, thorny folk horror.

A man is judged by the company he keeps.

Morning 🪾

Had to record a video to do justice to #Wyrdwood's spangly copper edges. 😍 This cover by @alicecaoillo.bsky.social has to be one of my favourite children's book covers of recent times. I can't wait to get stuck in, @curtisjobling.bsky.social!

Morning.

Lovely hour signing over 200 copies of #Wereworld Rise of the Wolf at Chorlton Bookshop. Hope the students at Grange Academy enjoy their fantasy horror journey!! #WOLFKING 🐺👑 #authorvisit #authortalk #horror #fantasy #readingforpleasure @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social @netflix.com

Artists: in a world of AI, be more Drew Struzan. RIP 🖤🙌🏼

Fans of #WolfKing, #Wereworld & #Wyrdwood - I'll be at the London MCM ComicCon on Saturday 25th October, talking about adaptation and also signing copies of all the above thanks to the wonderful people of Forbidden Planet 🙌🏼 Do please spread the word and come along 🐺👑

It's the Bob the Builder machine drawings you have to worry about....

LOVE the RNIB. Hate right-wing bellends.

... @bloody-disgusting.com select 6 of the best anthology episodes for spooky season, The Lineup talk up the return of 'The Horror Honker', and @gnofhorror.com sit down with @curtisjobling.bsky.social to talk #Wyrdwood and much more, Happy reading, friends! 🎃💀

Aww. RIP John Woodvine. And on a night of a full moon too 🌕 "You'll be leaving this hospital in three or four days. Please, remain sane. At least until you're no longer our responsibility." #ananericanwerewolfinlondon

Here it is a double blast. First off we interview @curtisjobling.bsky.social the man behind Bob the Builder about his new folk horror novel Wyrdwood. And gnofhorror.com/curtis-jobli... And check the thread below for our review of Wyrdwood. 💙📚

Pinch, punch, first of the month. It's spooky season! Have a horrific October, kids ... 🧛‍♂️🤡💀👻🦇

Author meets his new novel for the first time! Delighted to receive copies of Wyrdwood, to be published on October 3rd. It looks absolutely lush. Thanks to all the team at Fox and Ink Books and Alice Cao for her incredible cover art 👏🏽🖤🪾 #WYRDWOOD #fantasy #horror #folkhorror #folklore #unboxing

I've just received early copies of WYRDWOOD by @curtisjobling.bsky.social being published by Fox and Ink Books on October 3rd. A great story, suitable for 11+ children. foxandinkbooks.com/book/wyrdwood/

Whispers in the playground abound – a spring-heeled phantom haunts the edge of the Wyrdwood, the ancient forest which surrounds the sleepy coastal town. But the Twig Man is the least of Kiki Harper’s concerns. amzn.to/4nc7q1J Wyrdwood by @curtisjobling.bsky.social @foxandinkbooks.bsky.social 💙📚

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

#Wyrdwood A creepy, atmospheric story set in a secluded island village. Think #Lovecraft #Gaiman #Priestley ❤️💀 Prepare for dead bodies, old legends and sinister happenings. You will not want to put this down. @curtisjobling.bsky.social @foxandinkbooks.bsky.social Thanks @netgalley.bsky.social

Grifter be grifting. Wake up.

Resting my plates o' meat. Preview screening of #TheLongWalk LFG!

Morning, Monday. Let's be having you...

Flattering arselickery of the most awful kind. Red carpet treatment and a fighter pilot escort home. How horribly predictable.

Israel murders journalists.

Smashing week in Devon. Back in't North now.
