This beauty of a book has arrived from @blackshuckbooks.bsky.social - Charlie Says by @neilwilliamson.bsky.social “I don’t know anyone who grew up in the 1970s who wasn’t scarred by the public information safety films on British TV. Those tiny, doom-filled dramas slipped in between the cartoons..."

I reviewed @neilwilliamson.bsky.social 's forthcoming novella, Charlie Says, an exciting work of folk horror that mashes up the terror and nostalgia of 1970s British public information films with the modern fears of the post-Brexit, post-COVID landscape. Big thanks to @blackshuckbooks.bsky.social

Beyond delighted that my debut collection HUNTING BY THE RIVER will be published by @blackshuckbooks.bsky.social in early 2024.
