Yesterday I attended the brilliant SykeHouse Film and Writer’s Festival where my short film, "Armadillotown", not only premiered and was well-received, but which later went on to win in the Best Experimental Short Film category. It was an absolute blast! Thanks to Dave Jeffery for the photo.

Today’s book post. New stories by @andrewhook.bsky.social @dancoxon.bsky.social and Aliya Whiteley. These are from a very handsome new series of single-story chapbooks called ‘ Infidelities‘, from the excellent @salopress.bsky.social….

If, When, Never is a story that leavens its horrors with wisdom and thought, leaving you in a deeper place than you were when you started. - Nathan Ballingrud Our new imprint, The Infidelities, spotlights some of our favourite writers. www.salopress.com ✨️ & yes, we're open to submissions ✨️

Pleased to announce I've sold a short story, "Nether", to ParSec magazine.

New blog post about my short story, "The Good Men", published yesterday by @salopress.bsky.social andrew-hook.blogspot.com/2026/05/the-...

As it's been announced in the Black Shuck Books newsletter, I'm delighted to confirm that my (appropriately) 13th short story collection, "Somnambulant Hearts", will be published by them in June. blackshuckbooks.co.uk/somnambulant...

"The Good Men" can be read as a riff on the 1962 film, "Les Bonnes Femmes", directed by Claude Chabrol, but with the genders reversed and the action relocated from a Parisian domestic appliance store to a Birmingham garage... Only a fiver (plus postage) here: www.salopress.com/store-2/the-...

For those who have been asking if the film "Union City" is available to stream (in connection with my book on the film, of course), then I've been advised it's currently available here: rarefilmm.com/2018/10/unio... And then buy my book :)

Salò Press are now publishing short stories under a new imprint named Infidelities (with poetry distinct under the Flirtations imprint). The first five are up for pre-orders (including my short story, The Good Men), available individually or in a bundle. Check out the link: www.salopress.com/store/

I've written a short article on my "Union City" book that has been published today on the Cinema Retro website: www.cinemaretro.com/index.php?/a...

For those who missed the unboxing yesterday, my copies of "Union City" arrived. It's truly a beautiful book! It's not only about a film, but about filmmaking itself. I hope those who read it enjoy it! #blondie #deborahharry #unioncity

Unboxing video for my new book! (low res, badly scripted, the film is way better 🙂 )

I was one of the judges for the 2025 Otherwise Awards and we've now reached our decision over the winner, the honour list, and the longlist. It was really interesting whittling down the 161 considered works to this number. Some great reads here!

Great to see my novel getting some visibility!

Well this is interesting!

Coming soon...

New blog post about my foray into film andrew-hook.blogspot.com/2026/03/arma...

Another great story by Brian Howell can be read online on the Salt Publishing website.

Great review of my novel, "Body and Soul" by @unclekins.bsky.social here at unclekins.wordpress.com/2026/02/19/b...

This morning will be spent signing the 'cinema tickets' which will accompany the first 200 orders of my book on the film, "Union City". It's getting real, folks.

We don't often publish full-length poetry collections so, when we do, you know it's 👌 Pre-order via link in bio.

Fantastic! Many thanks for posting this.

I seem to be nominated for a book award, together with @authoramyorrell.bsky.social also published by @elsewhen.press !

New blog post about my forthcoming book on "Union City", the 1980 movie which starred Deborah Harry (and was scored by Chris Stein) from @officialblondiefan.bsky.social andrew-hook.blogspot.com/2026/01/unio...

I'm absolutely delighted to announce that my book on the 1980 film, "Union City", starring Deborah Harry of Blondie, is now available to pre-order. This work was a labour of love for me, and contains predominantly original interviews with most of the cast and crew. #blondie

Our three newest titles are now available for pre-order at salopress.com 🤩 As a tiny tiny independent publisher running this thing on limited funds, from our dining room, we are grateful for every single order. Thank you all for the support so far.

For those who've read (and hopefully enjoyed) "Body and Soul" can I ask if you have a moment to pop a review wherever it might matter. Published by @elsewhen.press In other news: pre-orders for another book I've had in the pipeline for a while will be available from next Friday, so I've been told.

Just finished Body and Soul by @andrewhook.bsky.social and published by @elsewhen.press. This is such a beautiful book! Post-apocalyptic sci-fi with a literary bent. I know it will stay with me for a long time. #booksky #sciencefiction 📚🪐 #postapocalypse

Last read, current read. Punchy, fast-paced, and thought provoking space opera from @garethlpowell.bsky.social and beguiling, post-apocalyptic, literary science fiction from @andrewhook.bsky.social. 💙 #booksky #sciencefiction #spaceopera #postapocalypse @elsewhen.press 📚🚀🪐

I highly recommend this collection of literary short stories. Check it out!

In my final blog post of the year I go overboard discussing my favourite books/movies/music I read/watched/listened to in 2025. andrew-hook.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-...

New blog post about the gigs I attended in 2025, together with accompanying photographs. What a year! andrew-hook.blogspot.com/2025/12/gigs...

In the expectation that I won't sell any more fiction this year, here's a blog post about my achievements in 2025, for those who have a smidgeon of interest. andrew-hook.blogspot.com/2025/12/my-w...

New blog post about my recently published short story, "Hiroshima Was Another Word For Love Then", published in Remains #3. andrew-hook.blogspot.com/2025/11/hiro...

Absolutely delighted to receive my contributor copies of Remains #3, edited by Andy Cox, containing my short story, "Hiroshima Was Another Word For Love Then". The whole issue, including the wonderful illustration for my piece by Richard Wagner, is an absolute work of art. #shortstories remains.uk

For those at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social I'm currently in the dealer's room at the @elsewhen.press table and can be persuaded to sign copies of my novel "Body and Soul" if you wish!

I've just started reading this, from the brilliant @andrewhook.bsky.social As familiar as I am with Andrew's work, I am sure that I am in for a treat.

My sixth novel, "Body and Soul", a post-post-apocalyptic SF story, is published today by Elsewhen Press. Please consider picking up a copy in either e-book or paperback. I've blogged about it here: andrew-hook.blogspot.com/2025/10/body...

We are delighted today to publish Body and Soul by Andrew Hook. Available in eBook and paperback via all good retailers. Heart is a world recovering from a catastrophe so long ago that inhabitants, unaware of history, live in isolated settlements, their only outside information from lone nomads.

Always important to keep those indie presses running!
