First read of the half-term. Just brilliant to return to one of my favourite book worlds. “Bridge of Storms” by @philipreeve.bsky.social is another thrilling, rip-roaring adventure following on from “Thunder City”. Full of heart, peril and adventure. Just brilliant @scholasticuk.bsky.social

A blog post about the process of writing (& filming) Prairie Rascals. What was its original title? Which characters share dialogue with Mortal Engines assassins? Why does nobody talk when there’s a horse around? ALL IS REVEALED. philipreeveblog.blogspot.com/2025/12/writ...

A wonderful Christmas present to us all from top author, artist and filmmaker #PhilipReeve: an original, fun little #Western movie! See Prairie Rascals (and read my glowing review) over on the blog: cowboyscapescowls.blogspot.com/2025/12/prai... @philipreeve.bsky.social

You like trains? You like Stargate? How about a galactic civilization connected by sentient trains running on railways that travel through Stargates? Seriously, go read Railhead. It's great.

Celebrating a decade of trainsong, Hive Monks, pocket universes hidden in refreshment trolleys, etc. RAILHEAD is ten years old. philipreeveblog.blogspot.com/search?q=Rai... Cover art by @ianmcque.bsky.social

Beautiful Japanese editions of the first two Adventuremice books by me and @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social. Translated by Shino Watatani, published by Tokuma Shoten in Tokyo

Oh my god. I know I talk about it every 10 seconds, but Donut Squad. Those pages at the end made my hands itch for a pencil. @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social has sooooooo many drawing resources on her website tied to all her and her and @philipreeve.bsky.social's books, it's immense fun.

For #TolkienTuesday/#TolkienTrewsday, as a follow up to my piece from last week, here’s “The Gardens of the Merking's palace”, by J.R.R. Tolkien, for his children’s story Roverandom.

My new painting exhibition - Brave New Worlds: A Century of Science Fiction Cinema - opens a week today. If you're in the area, do pop along. And please share with interested (and interesting) friends. Today's poster is the first to feature an actor I've worked with: the glorious David Warner.

[email protected] and I love this show, which is why there’s a character called Scoot McHairy in ‘Mice, Camera, Action!’.

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

#SundayMorningBookChat Have to agree with @hfj0108.bsky.social and nominate the #UtterlyDark trilogy by @philipreeve.bsky.social They are beautifully written and deserve far more attention than they’ve received. This was my review of final book: vsviewfromthebookshelves.home.blog/2023/09/04/m...

Just finished the third in the Utterly Dark trilogy by @philipreeve.bsky.social a wonderful tale, and beautifully read by @barnabyedwards.bsky.social Highly recommended 😃

174. Thunder City by @philipreeve.bsky.social Science fiction at its best - a prequel to the Mortal Engines books which can be read as a standalone. Amazingly imaginative world building, superb characterisation, lots of humour and genuine heart. I loved Miss Torpenhow and Oddington Doom so much!

Today! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hello, Edinburgh! (Do join us on Friday for ADVENTUREMICE) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @edbookfest.bsky.social
