"WELL TELL HIM TO PUT IT BACK"

Hellooooooo BSky, long time no see? I've been lurking around Instagram these days (where yes, I continue to honk about books and authors I like) but thought I'd remind everyone that my micro-collection LONDON WEIRD is totes a Christmas book, look, honest guvnor, and only 0.99 at Amazon.

Wrote a short thing about that 5-9 nonsense. gabinoiglesias.substack.com/p/your-9-5-i...

A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

Heyyyyyyy just one of my all-time faves (ARARAT, anyone?) enjoying some creepy af stories by yours truly! You can pick it up for 0.99 here: www.amazon.co.uk/London-Weird...

Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see

ALL battles for bodily autonomy are connected.

When you take a break from a short story you're writing to read short stories by a bunch of talented people...

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

Taps the sign

Bonjour winter, it's 12 degrees in my bathroom with the heating on

This is the first year I've had enough short fiction out to want to do one of those eligibility posts! Truly grateful for all the opportunities I've had in 2025 🖤

Hello! I've just done my taxes and as always am gripped with both incipient poverty and existential dread. Can I interest you in a short collection CHOCK FULL of dread? LONDON WEIRD is 0.99 on Amazon! www.amazon.co.uk/London-Weird...

A beautiful and thoughtful piece. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A late schedule change for Winter Haunts - unfortunately Hollie Starling won't be able to join us, but we have the awesome Ally Wilkes stepping in to take on the 12pm interview! A very talented author and can't wait to chat about her tremendous books... www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/winter-hau...

Our Piper at the Gates of Dawn jumper stirred a bit of Satanic Panic! Thank you, @davidmbarnett.bsky.social, for covering this story for The Guardian. By popular demand, you can get the jumper that got banned from Westminster Abbey here: everpress.com/hellebore-pi...

Ravenous is simply a perfect movie.

A reader told me she was asked to take off her Hellebore “Wind in the Willows” jumper before entering Westminster Abbey. The reason given was that it depicts the devil and might offend people. The reader explained it was the Greek god Pan, but the security guard didn’t backtrack. Satanic panic 2025.

A million congratulations to @helleborezine.bsky.social for successfully ruffling some feathers in the Guardian this morning. Chaps, you can RUN to their shop, these jumpers are super cosy (I have several!) www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

🏳️‍⚧️happy transgender awareness week!🏳️‍⚧️ hire trans people! buy from trans artists! support the trans community! 🙏

A quick plea for help: if you've read and enjoyed Unquiet Guests, please leave a review on Amazon! We're currently sitting on a big fat ZERO reviews, despite strong sales. Let your opinion be heard!

One of my favourite novellas. Staggering in its autopsy of a Horrible Relationship with a Certain Type of Man. Also, bears! And it's PINK!!! (I am becoming increasingly unhinged about books with pink covers)

I love Cunning Folk and can't wait for my copy to arrive! Definitely of interest to any @treadwells-books.bsky.social or @helleborezine.bsky.social coded souls ✨

Oh my GOD the sound of this.

Queen.

I'm sorry

*whispers* It is a faithful adaptation of an early 1800s novel by a woman about an arrogant self centered man Why are people

Every year I watch V FOR VENDETTA around Guy Fawkes' Day and I just wish every year it didn't get MORE FUCKING RELEVANT

If you have even the slightest respect for your own work, don't touch this with a ten foot pole.

The moody autumnal country house vibes at Hawkwood are IMPECCABLE. Big sofas, blankets, grey skies, soft lighting, and books books books

This week I'm super privileged to be teaching @hawkwoodcft.bsky.social with @catcamacho1.bsky.social. We're presenting masterclasses on Structure, Openings, the Publishing Process and Editing, as well as having lots of intensive 1-to-1 tutorials with our writers, and a fair bit of homemade cake 🍰

I ate an enormous plate of veggies and watched Scream. That'll have to hold me till next weekend haha

Enjoying my precious three hours at home in my flat before heading off to Stroud for another week teaching at Hawkwood. I am a SHELL of a human.

Lovely review of the UNQUIET GUESTS anthology here! "It’s a very well told claustrophobic and menacing story that constantly feels like it will erupt very soon." www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/10...

A king 👑

Keep the chills coming! I'm in @booktrib.bsky.social with recommendations incl Jennifer McMahon, @unheimlichmanvr.bsky.social Mona Awad @rachelharrison.bsky.social @silviamg.bsky.social booktrib.com/2025/10/31/c...

Doing my annual October 'buying lots of big beautiful books with gorgeous art and photos' because sometimes, when the SAD hits, they're the books I need to keep me in touch with reading over the winter x

This season spooky writers are moving in packs like tired and poorly regulated werewolves
