I’m thrilled to reveal the stunning cover art for my novel, ALSTON MOOR. Coming 29 September! I’m so grateful to cover designer Heather Ryerson and the team at @goldsmithspress.bsky.social @goldsf.bsky.social. 📚@unamccormack.bsky.social @sarahsuch.bsky.social More: annecharnock.com/alston-moor/...

I've been procrastinating on the right moment to share this, but the cover release and opening pre-orders might just be it. AGENCY by me! It's a cosmic horror about commercial landlords from nether-hell dimensions. #nonfiction #fnar www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GBYKFTV8 www.amazon.com/Agency-Tor-O...

MAD SISTERS OF ESI is one of The Washington Post’s 10 best SFF novels of 2025. In the sheer amount of what gets published each year and what gets lost, this feels like a small, precious miracle ❤️

I'm incredibly excited that this is coming out next year. Translated by the brilliant María Pilar San Román and published by @obscuraed.bsky.social.

When There Are Wolves Again is out in the UK today! I wrote something about the book, and keeping going, and some personal stuff I dithered over but, well, it's been A Year. I'm so glad the book is out there and thank you so much to everyone who has supported it 🐺🤍 ejswift.co.uk/2025/10/09/w...

Like Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita? The Lady, The Tiger, and the Girl Who Loved Death weaves together magic, political spectacle, and the power of storytelling in a world where reality and illusion blur dangerously together. Out from @titanbooks.bsky.social now! #DarkFantasy #CircusBooks

Thanks to @argonautbooks.bsky.social for sending M home with this one last month; she inhaled it this evening in the pub with a soundtrack of 90s and 00s Britpop, which was apparently "A++ vibes" for this unsettling little read.

This is absolutely wonderful news.

Gottle of gears. Very happy that this one has had a new lease of life.

💙📚🩸 You will start & finish this in a day. It's equally chilling and heartfelt, immediately grabs you, and has much to say on reality and perception. An incredibly relevant, compelling, and scary book ⬇️

Just putting this here. Again.

These are some of my favorite films and if you love them too, my novel is absolutely made for you! THE LADY, THE TIGER AND THE GIRL WHO LOVED DEATH has all the magic, drama, and political edge you crave🔥 Out from @titanbooks.bsky.social (and thanks to @cathtrechman.bsky.social for the fab edits!)

“At its core, THE LADY, THE TIGER AND THE GIRL WHO LOVED DEATH is a story about stories.” @mondyboy74.bsky.social reviews @manuscriptgal.bsky.social

Life imitating art: Reading about Moscow’s surreal detachment from war while people live in carefully constructed unrealities reminds me why I wrote The Lady, The Tiger and the Girl Who Loved Death—a story about power, illusion, and the lies we tell ourselves www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/w...

Come for the three glorious stories, stay for the exquisite tailoring on the trenchcoat.

Free delivery, though, so that's nice.
