PLURIBUS *I feel seen*

FRANKENSTEIN is devastatingly beautiful to look at and I'll probably never see a film that drips such honey, is it heresy to say I prefer Branaghs? I find the pacing of KB's much easier to deal with, there's a more fascinating approach to 19th century ethics and an overall better interpretation.

Thinking about Bernard C. Blake who died during the Battle of the Lys on the 9th of April, 1918. I published his only work of speculative fiction, the lost AT THE CHANGE OF THE MOON, this year. #wewillrememberthem

Charity shop purchases are getting rarer and rarer nowadays, but this was a nice score - a pound for them all.

Dec 18th at 7pm I'll be reading from ILLUSIONS OF PRESENCE, chatting about editing anthologies and ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS (within reason and taste 😉) - tickets are £8.83 (cushion admin and fees). I'd love to see you there, please reskeet far and wide! www.eventbrite.com/e/illusions-...

For Remembrance Sunday - remembering is one thing, learning and acting quite another #poetry #poem and l young

The original Angie Watts (as played by Jean Fennell) was sacked after a week's filming because she was deemed 'too classy' by producers.

For the Sunday crowd, my latest Substack post is about the forgotten author Jane Gallion, her publisher Essex House, and the hard graft that was being one of America’s first female smut writers.

30th anniversary of MARS ATTACKS next year. If there's any cinema out there wanting me to host a screening, I'd love to. Been a fave since I first saw it on its release!

Johnny Don't Preach

I also want Tom Jones there...

Ten tickets sold so far - only 90 more to go before my self-imposed target has been reached...😂

Watching REC with Marnie. Am prepared for her to absolutely shit herself.

Today I'm talking to an online book group about HALLOWEIRD! My first time ever talking to one, I'm really looking forward to it!

Spookiness aplenty for the season, with my four-week look at WRITING GHOST STORIES kicking off on the 18th November! And we're online, so you can haunt us from anywhere in the world... www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-gh... #ghoststory #ghoststories #course #courses #writingcourse #writingcourses

The best short story I've written remains unpublished 5 yrs later because I said no to the contract for it. That story will *never* be published because it was only written for that book.

Marnie's been off ill today, so I drew her a wee something to cheer her up

I LIKE ME was beautiful. May have sobbed a bit.

Only a fiver to see me perform in STOCKPORT on Tuesday www.ticketsource.co.uk/booking/sele... #stockport #manchester #poetry #bookshops www.ticketsource.co.uk/serenity-boo...

AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Kaye!!

I had a miscalculation of stock from last week's drop of Professionally Defaced copies of Tales Accursed, I've actually got this one straw bear copy left if anyone wants it... 👁️ slipperyjack.bigcartel.com

Looks like I have two spare for Blake’s 7 at the BFI tomorrow. RT or HMU

And so the final essay of 2025 begins...

He's fucking done it!!!!! #alan #traitors

Cone on!!!! Off you fuck, Joe!! #traitors

Holy fuck, ILLUSIONS OF PRESENCE has been reviewed by the Society of Psychical Research!!! www.spr.ac.uk/IllusionsofP...

You can almost hear the CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM music playing in the background...

RIP Pauline Collins. Always loved 'Upstairs, Downstairs', and only a few weeks ago I was enjoying repeats of of the charming sitcom 'No, Honestly' on one of the retro TV channels.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

AK is by far a favourite author of mine, you can *guarantee* an excellent, excellent read from her, no matter the genre ahe writes in. Yet to try her? Do so RIGHT NOW.

Holy shit Mamdani has been winning since he was a little kid

I want this for my Xmas, but I have to admit, I didn't think that Peter Wyngarde would end up looking like Dick Dastardly...

Ashamed to admit I didn't understand the John Lewis ad, though I ended up fast-forwarding through it because I was bored. Did he meet his son at the disco? Was he not supposed to be there? Was he trying to pick up a man? Did he leave his wife and kids at home while he went out raving? I give up.

Sorry to say we've made the difficult decision to cancel the Nine Lessons show in Cardiff. There was sadly a large disconnect between the number of people asking us to come to Cardiff & the number of people who actually got a ticket. Full steam ahead for London! www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/nin...

Very jealous, Marnie's going to see THE WOMAN IN BLACK at the theatre today with her carers club.

I usually sell out in Folkestone - no difference to me financially because I’m on a fixed fee - but I bloody love Playing this room when it is full so let’s go !!! www.creativefolkestone.org.uk/whats-on/rob...

Completely missed the news that Peter Watkins died on October 30th. For all of his insightful and incredible work, for me, it's CULLODEN that *truly* astonishes, nothing in my life will *ever* beat that first viewing, my brain melted, my jaw needing picking up from the floor.

Looking forward to a brief dip in the waters of WRITING GHOST STORIES with this one-off session for Nottingham Writers Studio, running in three weeks' time! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-gh... #ghosts #ghoststories #ghoststory #writing #writers #writingworkshop #writingworkshops

Okay... I don't know a thing about this, but entirely coincidentally there's a killer dressed as Guy Fawkes. Wow!
