Feeling really grateful that these stories are finding readers. Check out the full list here: bit.ly/48P5AyY

hey ACQUIRED TASTE is nominated for best short story collection over at the haunted minds book club and that is so super cool

The new movie from the creator of Chernobyl is not quite what you would expect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI...

oh no, Alejandro G. Iñárritu has done another comedy

New ARC book mail from the gorgeous folks at @titanbooks.bsky.social We Should Have Left Well Alone by Ronald Malfi. I adore the simplicity of this cover. One of my favourites of the year. @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social

That’s not the rule and you know it.

A reminder that E. Nesbit wrote the greatest opening to a ghost story ever.

The most stressful time in my entire working life was having to break up a fistfight on the floor of HMV between two guys over the last Wii Fit.

Enjoyed WAKE UP, DEAD MAN a lot. Perhaps my favourite of the Blanc whodunits so far thanks to Josh O'Connor's terrific performance, and a nicely twisty mystery that has a pretty satisfying conclusion. One of these films every two years is a genuinely great thing. Here's to many more.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

"You should have seen the cover they wanted to do."

Del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN is very patchy. Incredible performances, particularly Elordi who nails the Creature in a way I haven't really seen since Johnny Lee Miller. But some dodgy CGI animals, and an overly sentimental final third really really do test your patience.

This is good!

Every now and then you turn the TV on and it's airing Flaming Moe's, and you remember that it might be the single best episode of TV ever.

Oh blimey, this book. Like the mad offspring of Iain Banks and Lucy Rose. Grisly, weird Sussex-set body horror. @toddsjordan.bsky.social is one of the most exciting new voices in the genre I've come across in a while. You're going to love this one.

The original version of Speak No Evil. Absolutely loved it, but jesus christ, what a bleak, bleak film.

The news is out!!!! Cannot wait to share my disgusting little book with the world! A huge thanks to the team at @titanbooks.bsky.social for making this happen!

This absolutely says more about Sam Altman than it does raising a newborn baby.

I'm insanely excited that @toddsjordan.bsky.social news is finally public 🙂 THE FLESH I WANT is so, so, so good. Stunning literary voice and creeping, suffocating horror in the heart of 90s rural Britain. Via @titanbooks.bsky.social www.thebookseller.com/rights/titan...

I'm afraid you're all going to have to be prepared for this book to be your entire personalities next year.

Have you picked up a copy of CRYPT OF THE MOON SPIDER by Nathan Ballingrud in paperback yet? A young woman, committed to an asylum on the moon, undergoes a bizarre treatment that unlocks a vast well of power in this surreal, pulpy horror novella. https://tinyurl.com/y4pt2cyk

From the bestselling author of Manhunt and Cuckoo comes a horror novella about cult cinema, the occult and queer desires. Have you picked up BLACK FLAME by @scumbelievable.bsky.social yet? 🔥 Out now! https://tinyurl.com/2j9pmtax

Keep forgetting to say that my novel is *ideal* for cold weather, full of candle-spots of warmth swallowed up by the chill gloom. Victorian London and West Country folklore tied into a seasonal bundle. Also has an artist heroine, unrequited/inadvisable love, and a chap who's back from the dead.

Oh, that's where I know him from

The Matrix Reloaded Weapon One Day the Earth Stood Still Alice in Wonderland of the Deadpool 2 Fast 2 Furious Se7en

Had an extremely good time with the wild neo-noir LOVE LIES BLEEDING. Love Kristen Stewart anyway, but Katy O'Brian is excellent, Mansell's kitschy score is terrific and reminded me a lot of stuff like BLOOD SIMPLE, COLD IN JULY or even (maybe) LOST HIGHWAY. Ace.

So many amazing lots to bid on: signed exclusives, book chats, advice sessions, tons of other stuff. Two days left to bid!

Paris, 1869. A theatre troupe of vampires and the strange, alluring visitors who shatter their status quo…a city of gilded opulence on the brink of siege, revolution and massacre. Pre-order my debut novel THE RED SACRAMENT, in conversation with the works of Anne Rice and Karl Marx, out July 2026🩸🎭 👀

“I was just following otters.”

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

This is just straight up bonkers. ANGEL DOWN is a New York Times Top 10 Book of 2025.

We are thrilled to announce that we will be publishing @kalynnbayron.bsky.social's adult debut, OIL ON CANVAS! 🖌️🩸 A queer, Black thriller about a woman returning to her hometown in order to uncover the terrifying truth about her mother... Coming May 2027 🖤

I've made another round of updates and additions to the eligibility and recommendations link post. Please do keep sending your links my way! acwise.net/what-have-yo...

wooo, go @haileypiperfights.bsky.social!

I was at the grocery store at 7:15 this morning and I get to reveal the cover for the book soon. that’s the level I’m operating at right now

Nov 26th 1911 - New York Herald reported a Mr Green, Mr Bury and Mr Hill committed murder in Greenbury Hill. 📽️📅 Magnolia (1999)

A BLOOD AS BRIGHT AS THE MOON by @andreamorstabilini.bsky.social - queer MC - vampire moon cult? vampire moon cult! - fuck the vampire hunters and all this terran nonsense - let's build wings and fly to the moon - especially before the humans catch and experiment on us

A really beautifully written book all about the vanishing sounds of the coastline, and the echoes that live on in popular culture. Somewhere at the intersection of folklore, the intrusion (and decline) of technology, and nature writing. Really quite something.

A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE exists in the shadow of three far superior films, THREATS, MIRACLE MILE and DR STRANGELOVE. A disjointed structure which manages to wring some terrific moments of tension, it never quite sustains itself, or commits to having much to say about anything at all.

Horror film of the year. Hands down.
