Immersive Makers Jam: a day-long free event on Mon 23rd Feb in London Next month I'll be running (with the brilliant Gryph Griffin) an immersive makers jam - a low-pressure space to try things out, learn from others, and meet collaborators! More info/bookings here: ticketpass.org/event/ENGMTG...

Great interview in @ruemorguemag.bsky.social with Christophe Gans about his career, including #ReturnToSilentHill which is out later this month (in which I play Dara) Plus a throwback to 2018 when they featured my face very large in their coverage of Ghost Stories. #movies #horror

It was a bit slippery in parts going up Glastonbury Tor today at sunrise. Once up there though it was such a beautiful morning. The view through the archway of St Michael's tower shortly before the sun rose.

To all those saying "but if our government spoke out, there might be consequences", please remember that not speaking out also has consequences. The history of appeasement is not a reassuring one.

Scenes from ‘The Key of Dreams’ where I was my most evil and extra self.

We’re kicking off the new year with a career spanning interview with director CHRISTOPHE GANS, who resurrects a nightmare world with RETURN TO SILENT HILL in "RUE MORGUE #228 Jan/Feb 2026 Issue". Plus! Gans’ BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF turns 25 and lots more! ON STANDS NOW! https://ow.ly/helw50XQOIz

Suddenly reminded of this interview (I edited the book version so I've read it more times than I can remember) where Emily Carding took their Richard III: A One Person Show to a festival in Romania and it turns out to be in Dracula's castle voidspacezine.com/voidspace-in...

Solstice blessings all! Not doing much today other than at some point making my way home, but here's the fireplace at Treowen so we can share a virtual hearth. Here's to snuggling down in the darkness and the imminent return of the light 🔥🖤🔥

But not me because...ah but no spoilers 😁🖤

I went to The Key of Dreams last week, a “luxury overnight immersive experience” combining immersive theatre, escape room puzzling, and role play. A quick thread on my thoughts - I’m not doing a full review since I’m in book writing mode - but overall I enjoyed it!

Ai has confidently told me that I have two cats named Bramble & Clover, I grew up on my grandmother's farm, I was a ballet dancer before I was a writer, and I've been married "many times". All it came from hallucinated sources; none of it is true. This is just one of the many reasons to resist Ai.

Did I mention I'm in this? Not long now!

We visited @bridgecommand.bsky.social! I received a commendation for my first mission as Captain, and I recieved the new rank of Lieutenant! Admire my stern face. Had a great time and we cannot wait to return soon!

Emerging from a magical run of Key of Dreams into the ever-unfolding horrors of the real world. Much love to all affected. And Rob and Michelle Reiner. What absolutely heartbreaking news.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.

Okay the books are: If On A Winter's Night A Traveler Naamah's Curse Bloodstone (David Gemmell) Hamlet (includes my notes on @emilycarding.bsky.social's one person Hamlet: An Experience) Saturnalia Conan Crooked Kingdom The Years Of Rice And Salt

I finally got to do this at the weekend and it was freaking epic.

All the buzz around #returntosilenthill has been a lovely boost to the ol' @imdb rating! So excited for the cinema release of the film in January! #actorslife #horror #movieactor @nwm_management Photo by the wonderful Natasha Merchant

We've had two fantastic shows last week and we've had some spaces open up for our performance on Thursday 11th-12th including rooms in the house. Do you want to immerse yourself in a 24 hour lovecraftian mystery?Message for a secret discount code and book on www.thekeyofdreams.co.uk

We're looking for a mixologist for our Key of Dreams shows as we've been let down at the last minute. Ideally within easy reach of Monmouthshire 💚

Looking forward to two weeks of immersive beginning with a secret Disney orientation, @candlehouse.bsky.social gatherings, Club Drosselmeyer, The Key of Dreams, and Bridge Command. It’s going to be an amazing two weeks with @autumn-d.bsky.social and @othermaciej.bsky.social.

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

All of which illustrates how infuriating it is when dipshits say that AI can 'help me to brainstorm ideas'. It can't do that. It can plaster a deepfake smile onto the corpse of zombie capitalism as it shambles towards the precipice of climate catastrophe, but it can't create meaningful literature.

Dear god, every time something about piracy comes up, I just want to scream at the person/group who's doing it. Because it's not like the average author is swimming in money. And for a lot of us, the money earned can be the difference between getting groceries/meds/whatever other necessities or not.

FYI: A new trailer for RETURN TO SILENT HILL unleashes the foggy town's terrifying monsters, including Pyramid Head and the nurses.

It's finally time to venture back into the fog: the official trailer for RETURN TO SILENT HILL, from returning director Christophe Gans, has arrived today.

‘The Key of Dreams’ is as epic as it gets, an HP Lovecraft-inspired weekend away in an isolated ‘Traitors’-style manor house

Today has involved finishing up a video project for The Key of Dreams (a summary of the story so far), an interview for The Exorcist Within podcast about many aspects of my work, from The Tarot of the Sidhe to horror movies, followed by a relaxing twilight beach walk 💙

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.
