Telos Publishing launch event, where Raven Dane’s latest novel, and Paul Finch’s edited anthology were released after a super-slick intro by publisher David J Howe. I also nabbed signatures from CC Adams, Paul F., Stephen Laws, Simon Clark, Reggie Oliver, Samantha Lee Howe, and James Brogden!

Having a laugh with @stevetoase.bsky.social before The Weird Fiction Panel at World Fantasy 2025.

A few pics from World FantasyCon - and what a book tower I came home with (including a diversion to Waterstones round the corner from my travelodge 😅). So pleased to finally meet @leemurraywriter.bsky.social in the flesh, talk to @datlow.bsky.social, & catch @davebjeffery.bsky.social amongst others!

An absolute highlight of the World Fantasy weekend was finally meeting my dear friend, Lee Murray. It was a surreal experience; Lee and I have known and worked together for over seven years and never met in person. What a fantastic creative and beautiful person. #worldfantasy
