'Matilda’s Retreat is an enjoyable dose of the gothic horrors and supernatural dreads that Cavendish has made her career from.’ A lovely pre-launch review from Daniel Robichaud. Many thanks, Daniel! consideringstories.wordpress.com/2026/01/06/m...

Happy New Year to everyone. May 2026 bring you peace, good health, happiness and, where there are challenges, the strength and resolve to overcome them.

Chapter 4: Liverpool Horror Book Con is going to be freaking massive 👻 Join 45 indie horror authors from the UK and Europe on 11 April for a day you won’t forget! We are delighted to announce @catcavendish.bsky.social as one of our attending authors. 🩸📚😱📚💙

Hospital. The word is enough to turn many of us into quivering jellies. No wonder so many of them are haunted - and none more so than Newsham Park. Here's one from their bulging archives... www.catherinecavendish.com/2025/11/the-... #hospital #NewshamPark #ghost #haunted @flametree.bsky.social

And now for something completely different. Perfect for Christmas, an alt history laced with humour and a number of dead bodies. This is Napoleonic Britain 1913. Twiggy Voo? mybook.to/TwiggyVoo #FridayReads #booksky #cosycrime #althistory

The most sensitive, beautifully executed version I have ever seen. Two and a half hours long but, for me, no sagging in the middle or dragging out of any element of the story. A damn fine film by any measure. #movies #horror #frankenstein #GuillermoDelToro
