It can often be hard to pinpoint the exact inspirations for a piece of writing, but there were a few really distinct things that brought to life my new Scottish gothic horror novella, In This City, Where it Rains: Ghostly waypoints. @lyndseycroal.bsky.social

"Novellas are meant to be compact little things, a swift punch of story that does the business and moves on. That’s how I’ve approached writing them in the past, building a world just big enough to serve my cast. All That is in the Earth is different." @aknighton.bsky.social

Have you read Narnia, and were you dismayed by what happened to Susan? You're not alone. Fanfic has your back - and in my upcoming book, "Nylons, Lipstick, and Narnia: Rewriting Susan Pevensie in Fanfiction", I look at how fanfic writers re-imagine her story and give her a different ending.

Absolutely delighted to have an essay in this book. It's a treasury of editorial insight!
