Got your copy yet, Resident Evil fans? Maggie Robertson and Antony Johnston interviewed in my new book - available now!

Are you picking up Saros? If so, please consider grabbing my book, which released the same day! It features an in-depth interview with Gregory Louden of Housemarque, who talks all about Returnal. The perfect companion to a weekend of playing the new game!

A childhood dream has come true for me today. I’m now a published author. My book is available in all the bookshops I grew up visiting. I can’t explain the amount of times I’ve wondered if my name would ever be on those shelves alongside writers I admire and love. [....]

Excited for the Alien: Isolation 2 trailer? My book features an interview with director Alistair Hope, who breaks down how the first game succeeded after Colonial Marines failed. There's also a chapter on CM, with first-hand interviews from those who lived through the hell. Book out tomorrow!

Any gaming/horror writers who would like to review this book - drop me a message!

Hell of a screenshot. Wish the game was just a walking simulator, as it gets messy when adding anything other than atmosphere. But damn, that screenshot.

American pals! My book is now up for pre-order in the US. I’d love for you to check it out. Drop me a line if you’re interested and just want to know more! Amazon: www.amazon.com/Beyond-Fear-...

I’m curious…for those who use BlueSky often, have you felt your engagement dropping recently? (Ironic if this gets zero responses)

My quick review of Cronos: The New Dawn is live on Insta! Give it a read and drop me a follow! www.instagram.com/p/DT-j1HciO7...

Tried to do that 2016 vs 2026 trend for my writing and nearly all my online links from that time are dead.

Excited to reveal the full jacket design for my book, painted by the incredible @raydillon.bsky.social 🙌 So many references to what’s inside. Bold as hell. Exactly what I wanted!

Gaming/horror places - ping me if you’d like a review copy.

My first book is up for pre-order now! 'Beyond Fear: Inside Action Horror Games' features in-depth interviews with gaming icons, including @johnromero.bsky.social, Ken Levine and Maggie Robertson. It's a book about success, failure and lasting impact. Links ⬇️ DM for info on signed copies!

Just got to the Hades tower bit in God of War 1. Pray for me.

Do you write reviews for a horror website/blog/account? I’d love to chat with you…

Playing Chronos: The New Dawn at the moment. The game is really nice until it throws lots of enemies at you in one place. The slower sections are so much more impactful.

The subtle little change in controller vibration when you’re about to spin some sixes in CloverPit. So good!

Starter pack time? Would there be appetite for a starter pack on here for people who are working on comics that will release in 2026? A kind of promotion and networking device. The other pack has been so good this year. Let me know! #comics #indiecomics

Quite an underwhelming set of announcements at The Game Awards? Might just be me.

I’d love to connect with more comic artists as we head into 2026. I’ve got various writing projects on the go and plenty of ideas to come. If you don’t use A.I. and want to be in the loop, please say hi! #indiecomics

Been a year of tremendous metal and alternative R&B for me!

Last push on this before something new and exciting for 2026!

Best PC deals you’ve seen in the Black Friday sales so far?

My wife is looking for a nice gaming PC and we’re in the eye of Black Friday…any good deals at the moment? @mikejennings.bsky.social I always think of you when I need help 🥰

I feel ancient.

Looking for an Xbox/PC gaming headset. No budget in mind - what would you recommend?

Dave is the best, btw. As if you needed another reason to jump into his terrific series.

We are decorating the home office and have room for three *very nice and quite large* art prints. What are you putting in that space? I need video game/film/any inspiration of cool art you can think of.

Who wants in? #indiecomics

I would love to write about games more than I do. It seems such a harsh economy to break into now and I feel bad for young writers who won’t have the chances I was afforded back when I was 16. I think my last review was Assassin’s Creed: Mirage 😞

Signs Hades 2 is out: I haven’t been to bed before 2am in three nights.

Can’t believe it’s been eight months since I created this starter pack! Comic folk, give it a follow!

Disco Elysium question on University Challenge 🚨

I see lots of exciting writers and authors are following me. Tell me about yourself. What are you working on?

Is anyone playing this game? I’m liking the vibe but also plenty I’m not enjoying. The end of Act 1 area was a nightmare to navigate.

I feel very sorry for anyone who had to write a guide for Hell is Us.

What is one super popular game most people love but you can’t get on with? Really sorry to say mine is Hollow Knight. 😬

How are we 8 years on from the end of Twin Peaks: The Return? I think about that show every single day.

What horror comics and books are people reading this week?

Comic writers, how many drafts do you typically get through before you’re done? I’m on four major drafts and a few smaller ones…😬

I have Covid in the year 2025.

Punchdrunk's new show is basically a live video game, with founder Felix Barrett referencing Immortality and Blue Prince in an interview with TimeOut. Lander 23 sounds interesting, although I will forever miss the slow burn of their white mask productions.

Is there a list anywhere of gaming sites/publications that are actively looking for freelance contributors?
