If you're in or near Edinburgh, come along to the launch event at 7pm on Thursday 4th June at Waterstones West End and I'll sign it for you! I'll be in conversation with @bingewriting.bsky.social about all things spy. www.waterstones.com/events/an-ev...

Lovely to see a print review in SFX for Abyss - a magazine that brings a fair degree of nostalgia for me. "A current of palpable anger at its heart makes for a compelling and haunting read"

The latest episode of Speed Binges dropped yesterday. For one I introduced @bingewriting.bsky.social to a new concept: Hauntology - Nostalgia for a place we have never been, at a time we never experienced. Wherever you get your podcasts or: linktr.ee/stetpodcasts 💙📚

A brilliant night at Toppings to listen to @bingewriting.bsky.social talking about his latest book ABYSS with @garethjohnbrown.bsky.social - lots of @edinburghsff.com folks in attendance and some great chats in the pub after. Perfect.

Just back from the launch for ABYSS by @bingewriting.bsky.social. Ready to dive into some workplace horror.

And now out in the UK (look at that RED cover 👀)

This is SO GOOD

A very happy UK release day to the briskly-paced Severance-tinged modern backrooms cosmic horror freakfest ABYSS from @bingewriting.bsky.social Never trust a Gibbons-Rash. 🐙 uk.bookshop.org/p/books/abys...

It's out in the US today! If you like your cosmic horror bang in the middle of the Douglas Adams - David Cronenberg spectrum look no further.

I’m a little late to the party but I finished listening to the audiobook of @bingewriting.bsky.social’s Dissolution (while power washing the drive, but that’s another story) and really enjoyed it. Great concept, lovely characters, and a plot that keeps you guessing. Loved the voice acting, too!

Totally normal. Nothing to worry about here.

@titanbooks.bsky.social has officially announced the UK leg of the STARTUP HELL tour! Woo! I'm coming to Edinburgh and London in June. I'll be at CYMERA all weekend, but my panel specifically is with @bingewriting.bsky.social pm on June 6.

@jonezyboy.bsky.social dives into @bingewriting.bsky.social's ABYSS, saying it's "...a short and punchy novel, perfect for anybody looking for a quick read and particularly those who have endured terrible jobs they thought would never end." #booksky www.horrordna.com/books/abyss-...

Joe Rice can't sleep. His wellness bot is watching. And beneath the office, a creature consumes not just his labour but every self he might have become. Check out our interview with Nicholas Binge @bingewriting.bsky.social https://gnofhorror.com/nicholas-binge-interview-abyss/

Just five weeks left (!) until SOLITARY AGENTS launches and I'm in conversation with @bingewriting.bsky.social at Waterstones West End, here in Edinburgh. Grab your ticket and I'll see you there! www.waterstones.com/events/an-ev...

For the morning crowd, in case you missed it

IT'S PUBLIC!!!! deadline.com/2026/04/bene...

Add this to your TBRs asap folks! If you like crazy mind-bending SF that will fill you with a sense of absolute awe, @arthurmanners.bsky.social's Inworld is the book for you. Out next year!

My favourite description of ABYSS so far from a Goodreads review: "Imagine, if you will—an ominous, abysmal corporate liminal space (much like Severance) meets the absurdity of Alice in Wonderland meets the pervasive surveillance of The Truman Show."

I heard news today that doctors have surgically moved a lion's mouth on to the top of its head. Understandably, this has created an uproar.

Review: Abyss by Nicholas Binge “He folds the proof and tuck it into his pocket. Opening the door, he prepares to descend to hell.” fanfiaddict.com/review-abyss-b…

For folks in the UK - I'm looking forward to CYMERA, where I'll be chatting with @bingewriting.bsky.social about horrifying fantasy workplaces! www.cymerafestival.co.uk/programme-26...

In which we discuss never-before-seen shapes, erotic depictions of Ebeneezer Scrooge, and together sing a Gregorian chant.

Extremity @bingewriting.bsky.social High velocity Police procedural / time travel novella. The mazy plot hangs together nicely despite unfolding at a truly frantic pace, and the use of 3 first person viewpoints keeps the reader abreast of each characters’ thought processes. Great fun

The news is out! DELIGHTED to be introducing the enigmatic @nickbrucker.bsky.social to the literary scene — add this to your reading list for 2027 folks.

Another busy week of episodes, including a new spin-off show, Speed Binges, from @bingereadingbooks.bsky.social, and some brilliant guests on @theconversation.bsky.social and @ukpageone.bsky.social

Dissolution by Nicholas Binge. @bingewriting.bsky.social Entertaining, compulsively readable SF thriller about a device that allows entry into a subject's memories. It's difficult to say more with giving away details of the excellent plot. Highly recommended. Read it!

Hey DISSOLUTION is on the British Science Fiction Association (BSFA) longlist for best novel. If you read it and enjoyed (and are a BSFA member) do think about voting for me!

Have you read EXTREMITY? If so, let Hugo know what you think happened at the very end and tune in to see me discuss all of your (and his) theories on our next mini-episode
