This is a fab review of Don't Torture the Duckling by @robtalbotad1972.bsky.social www.screamhorrormag.com/eurohorror-w...

Bizarrely, looks as though an article I wrote over FOUR YEARS AGO on Rasputin: The Mad Monk (1966) appears in the new issue of Scream. Is it any good? Can't remember tbh. It was four years ago. @hammerhorrors.bsky.social

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

No writing for a year or so, just this. Horror anthology comic coming your way soon.
