Australia, land of my childhood, you do not disappoint.

Contrary to this journo's hot take on yoof culcha, Gen Z are currently behind the upsurge in sales of vinyl. But you know, research, pfft, whatever. It's not the ad that's outdated here. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

The Dwimfolk are finally loose in the world at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social The more you buy, the fewer I have to drive home, squabbling and fighting in the back of the car.

Alright, M25, let's dance, motherfucker.

House-husband is proud to announce that clocks on the apartment thermostats were all changed correctly and the ambient temperature is currently bearable. Please reward with pat on the head and snacks.

I've just put the final full stop on a big writing job, and even though there's still the fun* of edits to come, it's time to celebrate with a drop of the Good Stuff. *spoiler: it ain't

I love the smell of a stack of signing sheets first thing in the morning. Smells like... cramp. #dwimfolk

Today is INTERNATIONAL WOMBAT DAY! Have you hugged your wombat today?

The Dwimfolk will be at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social, with huge thanks to @marieoregan.bsky.social from Absinthe Books and @gregchapman.bsky.social for the amazing cover art.

Just got paid for a story. This calls for tea and cake.

A lovely thing arrived in the post today which I am setting aside for the appropriate season. Let's see if my self discipline holds. @johnnymains.co.uk

He's a harsh GM, but a fair one.

If you try to imagine Tron:Ares as an extended music video for a Nine Inch Nails concept album it makes a lot more sense.

Chapter titles are hard.

Very proud to see "Bone Harvest" keeping some fine company on this list.

Hello Covid my old friend, You've come to fuck my life again Because a virus softly creeping Bred in my lungs while I was sleeping And of my voice and breathing I am now tragically bereft All that's left Is just the sound of coughing.

But yeah, sure, a new catch-all ID card system can't possibly go wrong. If it weren't for the principle of the thing it'd be because of the staggering incompetence. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Just hit 30k on the WIP and now I need a nap.

Luka does not approve of this nonsense. #BlackLibrary #warhammer

Thought for a moment there that the Americans had unveiled a statue to Eric and Ernie. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hear me out: Whamageddon, but for "The Monster Mash" at Halloween.

Just a small patch of rain pootling along, doing its own thing, not bothered that it's not raining anywhere else.

Come to Derby for EdgeLit, stay for the Dark Shenanigans.

Three days to go, and still time to grab your tickets online for Edge-Lit 11, or we'll have tickets available on the door! www.derbyquad.co.uk/events/edgel... #Derby #Derbyshire #horror #fantasy #scifi #sciencefiction #convention #conventions

Can confirm. Weird, baroque, brilliant and hugely inventive.

Complaining about the crew not following quarantine protocols in an 'Alien' show is like watching the clown car at the circus and muttering "Well THAT would never have passed its MOT."

It's jam day! Everyone round mine for scones.

It's out TODAY! "a career-defining novel, the product of almost 30 years of a gifted author honing their craft." – @gnofhorror.com

Same with the Guardian. Hate their take on AI? Sure you do. We all do. So let's make sure we spread that shit around. All those outraged clicks are sure to make them change their mind. Plus everyone who follows you will be SO grateful that you drew their attention to it.

Complaining about the BBC amplifying the message of a certain frog-faced nazi arsehole by linking to the article in which they amplify the message of said frog-faced nazi arsehole is absolutely not the win you think it is. STOP. AMPLIFYING. ARSEHOLES.

I feel like someone should have warned me that the M25 might be a bit busy on a Bank Holiday Monday.

It's out tomorrow! Learn their secrets...

We were 15 miles from Warlingham when the Werthers Originals began to take hold.

If I get one more pop-up ad that says "Designed for Seniors", why I'll...

This book is absolutely stunning. A nail biting folk horror thriller that will leave you begging for more Lebbon. Good thing he has a more books than you can shake an iced bun at.

Today I am Short Round. Will someone please bring me a weekend? clip.cafe/indiana-jone...

Lost in a labyrinth of books at Astley Book Farm. Just passed the dessicated corpse of someone who died of starvation but with an armful of books and a smile of absolute serenity. If I'm never seen again, know that I am in a better place. www.astleybookfarm.com

How the WIP is going: Well, tomorrow we hire a van and move all that stuff to the storage unit in Bromsgrove, then I've got to sort out those books I'm selling and drive them over to that book barn place outside of Nuneaton... Writing? What do you mean, writing? Don't be silly.

Me: Jesus, take the wheel. Jesus: But I.... Me: Just shut up and take the fucking wheel! (Cocks shotgun and leans out of the window)

New Olympic sport: synchronised idling.

Slightly diminish a band: Duran.

One should never slut-shame, but honestly, if the slutty ginger shoe fits...

Birmingham Airport was closed due to an emergency landing so Hopey's flight from Copenhagen got into Heathrow instead. A five hour round trip to pick her up got us home just after midnight. If you're worried that your kids are growing up too fast, don't - they'll always need the parental taxi.

Ah, the spoils of Empire. And for the bazillionth time no, they're nothing like bloody Penguins!

I've finally got my act together and booked a ticket to Edge Lit 11, so I'll see you there for some of the finest genre-industry shenanigans around. www.derbyquad.co.uk/events/edgel...

Lining the streets for the Prince of Darkness.

Through the gate and across the field.
