happy tuesday, please enjoy these extremely early 90s stickers I found in my old sticker collection and ask yourself why a sticker of young Clive Owen exists (was he a heartthrob then??)

love that when the DJs on Radio 6 start really bigging up a track like crazy I know, I KNOW, it's going to be the worst piece of shit I've ever heard

This is perfection, but the alt-text is icing

salem's lot!

Books of Blood by Clive Barker is great! The Monk by Matthew Lewis is one of my favorite books ever so I gotta recommend that one too.

This overlooked gem is due a re-read.

Happy Halloween!! 🎃 I have the yearning to reread The Haunting of Hill House today, although I am still mid-Lonesome Dove quartet Tell me your favourite scary books, please! I feel like I want a horror season after this. #booksky

I might need an intervention to stop me listening to West End Girl. It's been on repeat for 2 days. Just can't get over the badassery of recording an entire album of 'my husband was the fucking worst' which also absolutely SLAPS

hope everyone has a lovely time at worldcon! have a drink for me etc etc

Omg Balatro and Vampire Survivor have done a crossover, this is the greatest day of my life

Looking for a last minute halloween read? Maybe this lovely review will lead you to Red Rigg House: 'This is a good, old fashioned, supernatural mystery. Atmospheric, with that lovely undercurrent of tension and suspense that kept me glued to the page'

if you're my age, I feel like the 90s is equivalent to our parents' 60s - like, it was a wild time, I don't know what was going on, my jeans just kept getting wider and wider

TITANCHILD by @sennydreadful.bsky.social is officially out in paperback! 🐉 The stunning sequel to the British Fantasy Award-winning Talonsister, full of romance and treachery, powerful magic and devastating choices. https://tinyurl.com/cu5w8kzn 💜

The little paperback of Titanchild is out today, bringing to a close the Talon duology 🦅🐉🗡️💖 This one was a wild ride...but I got through it. And enough people have contacted me to tell me how much they loved my soft assassins & gay griffin dads that all the scrambling and wailing was worth it 😂

the fun thing about worldbuilding on the fly is unearthing new ways everything is connected the less fun thing is realising you now contradict yourself in chapters 1 - 25

listening to West End Girl and saying 'o girl, no' on repeat

Eight of Cups 🍷

Day 2 of how many jumpers can I wear at once If we were in that one star trek episode, I would say: 'Joey, with Chandler's clothes'

"He sees a flash of red, the blade of truth, the blade of the Sith." Read a brand new exclusive extract from STAR WARS: MASTER OF EVIL, only at Entertainment Weekly! ew.com/darth-vader-...

we’re at the intermission of Hadestown, pretty good so far, but confused as to why they haven’t used any boons yet? not even a Daedalus hammer??

A sketchbook something. #pencil

It’s spooky doodling season

Important planning notes happening

the first act of this book is DONE. now wtf happens in act two

I don't know how many times this needs to be posted, but clearly it is MANY TIMES. Sigh.

some of the greatest photos ever taken

Such empathy with these huddled beasts on a 10th/11thC whalebone chesspiece, perhaps a rook or a bishop, snuggling up against cold and damp autumn days… www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...

just liked an Onion post for being all 'the president has a shit plane full of shit and he wears a little crown' and I thought, haha yes, that's some excellent surrealist nonsense but no, this is an AI slop thing the orange abscess actually posted. Incredible.

caught up with Celebrity Traitors, or as it's otherwise known, What the Fuck is Jonathan Ross Wearing Today

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

I love this but I feel like I can only do it if it is specifically a red hippo, no mere standard toast rack will do

Waterstones have chosen to include The Dreamless in their 25% preorder promotion! Yes, this is the sequel to The Sleepless, so if you plan on including more complicated love triangles and weird fantasy in your reading future, get on it (last day today!) www.waterstones.com/book/the-dre...

Five years on from my finest moment

If you have a spare couple of hours, do yourself a favour and watch this documentary about competitive birdwatching. It is a delight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl-w...

Gosh wouldn't it be nice to have never seen Love Actually

If your autumn vibes require more weird fantasy and romantic yearnings than horror, the Nerd Daily has a little excerpt of The Sleepless 🐍 thenerddaily.com/the-sleeples...

given it's spooky season, I was pleased to see A Dark and Secret Place (Dog Rose Dirt in the UK) given a space on a list of horror novels about cults...do NOT join the Commune, always a bad idea www.horrordna.com/features/joi...

The thing about AI is that it ultimately doesn't matter how realistic it gets, or looks, or sounds, or seems - those are all red herrings. The problem at its heart is that nothing it produces comes from a real person, and it therefore has no aesthetic value. That's it. No more needs to be said.

as an enjoyer of weak-ass toast, there are few things sadder than overbrowning the toast. Now I must either accept that I have sacrificed a slice of bread to the gods of breakfast & chuck it, or munch my sad way through toast that tastes like bitterness.

I missed the start of spoopy season yesterday but worry not, I was actually wearing Dracula socks all day HAPPY SPOOPY SEASON MY LITTLE GOBLINS

Heads up: the first 2 books in @sennydreadful.bsky.social's Copper Cat Trilogy are on US ebook sale for $1. I got some copies of each for random giveaway.

His drawings were so formative for me. I am the child of Richard Scarry, Watership Down, and blue flavoured slush puppies.
