I love @samtasticbooks.com short fic, and her debut novel is even better! This is an incredible book that shows both the journey into indoctrination and the escape from it in an engaging world of abandoned gods. I can absolutely see why it's nominated for a @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social award.

Would anyone like a copy of Wolf's Path if I bring some to WFC?

Show of hands, who's attending WFC/FCon in Brighton this November? 🙋‍♀️

"An Unkindness of Shadows; a substantial contribution to the literature of the uncanny—delectably written, disturbing, sometimes chilling but also poignant, ultimately very moving. The field is richer for it and its author. Highly recommended." --Ramsey Campbell, World Fantasy Lifetime Award Winner

Publishing news! A STRANGE CASE OF SOMETHING FAMILIAR, the first novelette in my ‘Clutterbuck & Postlethwaite Investigate’ series, features in OCCULT DETECTIVE MAGAZINE #11. A preliminary release date is late October to align with World Fantasy. Cover art: IIyan Sheady

For anyone going to World Fantasy Convention 2025 in Brighton: don’t forget to fill out your ETA application! At www.gov.uk/eta/apply there is a QR code for the app (or there are other methods). The application process took me all of ten minutes, and I got my acceptance within a few more. Easy peasy

A quick note to say that, due to circumstances beyond my control, I've had to drop out of World Fantasycon 2025. Sorry to pals hoping to hang out in Brighton. @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social @hws.bsky.social

Finally got my finger out and booked the train to World Fantasy Con in Brighton in October. Seven full hours of reading and/or plotting the downfall of my enemies sounds like a dream.

Awesome! THE TAINTED CUP really was a great read. Now it needs to win the World Fantasy Award for which it is short-listed too!

Help me pay for World Fantasy in October!! Brighton looms and things must get paid for. But I will sing for my supper with website knowledge which I will transfer into your head through the power of affordable webinars... Have a squizz at these and see if anything takes your fancy.

Prepping my calendar for the rest of the year. Booked a few tours, planned a few dates, and booked my hotel for The World Fantasy Convention in Brighton. It's been a long time since my last (and first) WFC in Calgary in 2008. #worldfantasyconvention2025 #wfc2025

Me: cons seem exhausting, I don't think I could attend one without collapsing from exhaustion Also Me: maybe a red eye flight to world fantasy con would be fun, it's by the sea...

Travelling to WFC Brighton while Gluten Free. If you are gluten free, then traveling can feel like a minefield, and travelling overseas is even scarier. I’m Farah, and I’ve been gluten free since 1997 (and dairy free since around 2001). Note: we spell it coeliac here.
