I logged in after barely being online for the last week and saw this 🖤 How awesome! Thanks so much @stevestred.bsky.social!

Happy holidays, everyone! 🎉🎄

Left my car window open all night... Youngest decided she wanted braids (with minutes to go before school)... I've never braided hair before. Huge list of party prep for our eldest's tomo... Nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired... Must be the last day of the school term!

We have such sights to show you!

The beautiful thing about an Andy Cull edited anthology is the fact they never feature the same household genre names which routinely pop up in these type of books. Instead enjoy exploring newer voices! Bring it on Andy.

FFS, Disney 🤦

I'm in this!

It's World Human Rights Day. Now, more than ever, we need to stand strong against those who would abuse and remove our human rights. Be kind to one another, respect each other, and lift each other up 🖤.

So, @netflix.com bought Warner Bros (inc, HBO). Great. But the ONLY question I have is...have they bought enough companies to produce a new season of Hannibal yet? If not, why not? 🖤

It's that time of the year when I remind you that 'Best of' lists are awesome! Celebrate the things you love 🖤 On the flip side of that, 'Worst of' lists are a dick move. Don't do that.

Wanna see my take on Indrid Cold?

Thanks to all of you who've pre-ordered our monster of a book so far! You rock (in a Mulder and Scully kind of way)! 🖤👻

It's my birthday and I couldn’t ask for a better present than my first ever official anthology story going up for pre-order 🥳 It's about colonialism, environmentalism, a monster, and a dude who sucks. And I really hope you like it 🥰

YOOOO come meet “The Reek From Pelton Creek” (it stinks!) you will be okay after, totally healthy and normal, your family too, just a very nice and safe cryptid experience for everyone, no side effects to worry about. preorder!

I've spent the past few days rewriting everything I'd written the few days before. Did that suck? Yeah, a bit. Is it progress? Yep, and I'll take it 🖤

Talking to a friend about monsters, and that led me to reminisce about some ghouls from my past. Here are some of the creature designs from my movie The Possession of David O'Reilly... My favourite is the guy who wears a skin on its back so it can crouch and appear as human before it strikes 🖤

Absolute bullshit. Address the root causes of crime. We should be lifting people out of poverty, helping those who are abused, improving mental health treatment, not locking up children for life. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
