Just heard that we have 150,000 children signed up for Michael Rosen Day on November 13. Wouldn't it be great if, when I'm doing my show, I could see them all....? [Go to my website for the 'Find out more' link to be live]

Announcing the month-long secret event I'll be hosting with my co-bloggers this November! We'd love to get as many indie and self-published SFF authors and readers involved!

Let's go, spooky season is here!

Without a Dawn is a short, single-sitting psychological visual horror novel. It's brutal, delicate, and a mature look into mental health issues, unlike anything I've ever played. I feel it deserves more love: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Thank you! 💛💚 #Steam #visualnovel #horror

This short story is going to be the death of me. On the fourth rewrite as the hook just isn't as strong as I would like. #amwriting

First of the month. White rabbits! But it’s October, so this one is eerie. Artist: Nymla

📚 Happy OcTBR Challenge to all who celebrate! 📚 The rules are easy: we all have stacks of books waiting to be read, right? Well, this is the month that we aim to read as many of them as possible! That's it. We simply cosy up, read some beautiful, scary, funny, heartfelt books, and enjoy ourselves.

It's rough out there at the moment. Sometimes all people need are a few kind words to help them through. And sometimes all people need is an excuse to say them.

My hot take on childrens lit is that maybe we need to do away with the painfully predictable stereotypical characters and lazy gross-out humour. Maybe respect the reader a bit more, no matter the age. #amreading

"Reading aloud and sharing books in the early stages is not only beneficial for language development and literacy but also mental health, stress, relaxation and family relationships."

I hand over an invisible ‘Tree Of The Day’ award to the most charismatic tree I see on each of my walks. Here are just a few past winners of this esteemed but still largely unknown prize.

Tonight I get to put the telescope out and run a schedule on it all night. That way I can be tucked up in bed sleeping instead of getting up multiple times and freezing my nuts off. The future is here!

Defeated, I've made the decision to curl up in bed early and read the latest Blacksad which arrived today.

"Just as a good man forgets his deed the moment he has done it, a genuine writer forgets a work as soon as he has completed it and starts to think about the next one; if he thinks about his past work at all, he is more likely to remember its faults than its virtues." — W. H. Auden

Write what you would want to read. It's that simple.

Featured: a woman goes mad over the colour yellow, another is trapped under the escalators at Bank / Monument tube station, and another faces a gothic irruption of London's working-class past in a cursed new-build apartment. Should you like that kind of thing.

Since my body decided to crap out on me, I'm spending today crashed on the sofa doodling stupid characters

As a famous food critic once said, the new needs friends.

Did you know we put excerpts of our books up on our blog?? Take a peek to find your next read! www.wildhuntbooks.co.uk/blog

George Saunders has a Substack in which an aspiring writer asked “How do I know if my writing is good?” He said, Don’t worry about whether your writing is good, worry about whether your writing is true.

Writers & SFF Lovers, If anyone's looking for writing & author community/ conversations/ Q&A –especially marginalised authors!– OR somewhere to chat SFF shows/ books, & OR suffers from being on too few discords (that's a thing 😉)... -here's 2 Discords for your consideration!

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

"The film, written and directed by del Toro, adapts Mary Shelley’s classic 1818 novel into a gothic sci-fi horror story" Shelley's novel was a gothic sci-fi horror story, genius

Behind the scenes I've been working hard on the merch shop, knocking up designs for apparel. For instance, there's these anniversary title shirts that come in plan or gradient colours such as the Death In All Things one here, as sported by generic hipster model (tm).

Good news, everyone! Cameron Johnston's got The First Mage on the Moon and here's the cover the prove it! Check out the reveal of his next Angry Robot novel over on Reactor Magazine now. @cameronjohnston.bsky.social @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social

Turns out that the Ghibli Architecture In Animation exhibition has this beauty, and I've never wanted to steal an airplane so bad. Well that and an A-10.

I feel like autumn is the writing season. You're wearing big jumpers, staying indoors more, making elaborate hot drinks, entreating the small gods of waning wood and bountiful rot to bless your typing fingers etc etc

if you're fans of Alan Moore, Mike Mignola, Frank Miller, Walt Simonson and more they are all in our classic Tripwire interviews book, with our campaign ending at 12.45GMT this Sunday. Just £55 away from being funded now too thanks www.kickstarter.com/projects/tri...

I don't have enough shelf space for my books, let alone these sexy book nooks that are all the rage. Don't make me buy ANOTHER bookcase...

A customer just came into the shop and bought 12 books for her friend’s birthday. She’s going to wrap them individually and write a different month of the year on each one, so her friend has a new book to read every month until her next birthday. And I think that’s just the most thoughtful gift.

Me on the way to the rapture.

*in my best Movie Trailer Guy voice* In a world were magic returns after millennia, one thief must shed the ice around her heart if she wants to survive in a changing world. But when she learns she can use magic, she ends up with blood on her hands. Not literally. That comes later.

If the powerful repeat a lie enough, they can bend it into the truth. Our job is to not let them.

Managed to get out last night and get a cheeky shot of M31 while conditions were good. 45 mins of 15 sec shots #space #astrophotography

Hey so, I’ve been struggling to find work lately, and I just had to sell my car at a huge loss a month after I got it because the previous owner didn’t properly care for it. So any help right now is appreciated.
