Really enjoyed talking to Cole, not least because we got to enthuse at length about one of my favourite films, Wonder Boys

Cole comes up with some of the most consistently insightful film criticism around, and his guests are always A-list. Absolutely worth your time...

Smuggled @janicehallett.bsky.social into my suitcase for Egypt, and she's nailed it once again. Gripping, whip-smart and compelling as ever, and made me snort-laugh at least once a page. Out in September, totally essential. @viperbooks.bsky.social @mirandajewess.bsky.social

Halfway through my first holiday read, and it's an absolute banger. Genuinely don't know which way it's going to go - it's brilliantly written, with a peach of a main character, and a delicious sense of dread. And it's set in Egypt! And I'm in Egypt! Stellar work @chrisbolland.bsky.social

'This book is a work of fiction. It is not a confession.' Read the opening of #TheMidnightKing, a dark and twisty thriller from Tariq Ashkanani. Out this Thursday, it's a must-read for fans of Thomas Harris or Chris Whitaker. viperbooks.co.uk/2025/04/07/t... @tariqashkanani.bsky.social

There's no better post than @janicehallett.bsky.social book post. Thanks @mirandajewess.bsky.social

We ride again kids. 17/7/2025 From all good bookstores.

It's my first crossover episode with the brilliant @ukpageone.bsky.social I had a great time talking to them about my books, writing journey and anything else that popped into my head 😂

Who knew the possibility of a US book tour could be so nerve-wracking? With shifting visa rules and authors being sent home on arrival, is it worth the risk? I’m sharing my thoughts and asking, ‘Are you still booking that flight?’ nadinematheson.substack.com/p/passport-p...

Yes!! @tariqashkanani.bsky.social is the worst at promoting himself so we are so delighted to see others doing it for him. It's a brilliant book - pre-order it now! * *This isn't written by Tariq, honest

Great to see ⁦‪@TariqAshkanani‬⁩ forthcoming banger getting well deserved love in The Guardian today, it's a must buy... @viperbooks.bsky.social @mirandajewess.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m... Crime and thrillers of the month

Absolutely loved Black Bag. Super smart, brilliant writing and direction, and a hall of fame cast. See it in the cinema damn you all

Can't wait for @beyondthebook.bsky.social in May, appearing with these writing ninjas and shooting the speculative shit about world building. Brighton's always a joy too, come and hang out...

Look at this beauty by @robertrutherford.bsky.social. It’s also brilliant on the inside. The Missing Hour will be published on April 10, 2025. Don't miss it!

Chuffed to bits to see Dark Century included in @thebookseller.com’s Agent Hotlist for The London Book Fair 2025! Many thanks to my agent @jjbker.bsky.social ker.bsky.social at @belllomaxmoreton.bsky.social oreton.bsky.social for making this happen.

*spins wheel* A24 Barney Movie *spins other wheel* written by Ayo Edebiri *passes out facedown in massive mountain of cocaine*

Beyond the Book Festival is going to absolutely slap in May. Brighton/books/the best of times. Get your tickets bought now...

Man these covers are lush...the books pretty damn good too

On my way to @StockportNoir - get down there tomorrow and bathe in all the crime (books)

Was lucky enough to get an early read of @goodhand_james next novel, Reports Of His Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated and it's truly, truly special. One of the best things I've read in a long time. Out in July.

Not a massive Dylan fan, but A Complete Unknown is transfused with precious, rare, transportitive movie magic, and I loved every second of it. Should be seen on the biggest screen possible with an ear-blasting sound system.

That Brutalist run time, eh? You could almost say it's...brutal! Ha! Haaaa! (Probably loads of jokes in it almost as good as that so sure it'll fly by)

Yay! 🙌 It’s publication day for #DeathInTheArctic by the lovely Tom Hindle 🥳 Huge congratulations, Tom! 🥂❄️

BOOK 2 ANNOUNCEMENT I am SO excited to finally announce my second book. Welcome to 💀 🖤 THE BONE DOOR 🖤 💀 The Bone Door is a fantasy horror escape room novel where a team of amnesiac kids must work together to complete impossible tasks to escape a mysterious labyrinth. Final cover to be revealed!

Saw Nosferatu this week. It's a work of art visually, just an impeccably made film. It's also quite funny, which I wasn't expecting. I'm also not sure it's intended, because no-one else was laughing. Defoe chews the scenery beautifully. Melodrama off the charts. See it!

Very exciting book post today - loved Book of Doors, @garethjohnbrown.bsky.social second is sure to be a cast-iron winner...

@guymorpuss.bsky.social has been keeping me company this Christmas (the poor bastard) and we've been having a hell of a time. His next book is an absolute banger - a riveting court thriller which kept me guessing till the end. Expertly crafted. Get it pre-ordered for March '25.

'Cecil Court, London' (2022) by Nick Grove www.nickgrove-artworks.co.uk

Absolutely loved #CarryOn on @netflix - a proper old school thriller that delivered right to the end. Reminded me of Die Hard and Collateral in the best possible way. Bravo @tjfixman.bsky.social

Watching Home Alone 2, wondering for the thousandth time why they wouldn't have the climatic get-the- baddies bit in the toy store when they literally spent the whole film setting it up.

Identified with so much of this, it felt like it had been written for me personally. Another fantastic article from Cole. (Rewatched the film this week and it's endlessly fascinating. Breaks rules aplenty and feels crazily fresh because of it.)

One of my favourite books of the year, almost illegally cheap. Get on it!

Thanks for your brilliant contribution, my friend!

Honoured to have taken part in this state of the creative nation debate. Times are tough but there's all to play for. Check out Cole's Substack - some of the best writing around.

Strong birthday book post today @mwcraven.bsky.social

@janicehallett.bsky.social is legit one of the best writers of the last 20 years. Consistently innovative and there's always a beautifully dark, unsettling tone to her stuff. The Examiner is her best yet.

Can't wait for this in February - first festival appearance in a while, and very ready to chat shit for an hour

Had a hell of a time shooting Hard Fi and Good Health, Good Wealth on Friday at Dingwalls...

Ready and waiting to (not) get Glastonbury tickets...

God damn, it's good to have Sam Fender back: youtu.be/DHzaHMmXB6Y?...

Over at Open Secrets Magazine I talked about stuff we're not supposed to talk about as authors: What happens when that splashy book deal doesn't work out and you get dropped by your publisher.
