I've been in hospital for a few days now. I have some blood clots, thrombophlebitis, an infection and a temperature that keeps spiking to 103. Tonight is my first night in a bed after 'sleeping' in a chair. The bliss of a bed and morphine 😍

Bookpost from a dear friend has certainly helped cheer me up. Here are the first in a series of Stephen King 50th Anniversary hardback reissues. The Shining is planned for release in 2027 with The Stand and Night Shift both scheduled for 2028.

As someone who's essentially housebound, I can't wait to finally watch @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein.

Your death will be a tale to frighten children, to make lovers cling closer in their rapture. Come with me, and be immortal.

My redbubble store has been active since 2018 - but I think I've made three sales or something in that time... However, I've just uploaded the DRACULA 1979 production font, if that film tickles your pipes! www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1755...

I'm looking forward to adding more to the Eric LaRocca collection.

New Review: Good Morning and wishing you a HAPPY ALL HALLOWS / SAMHAIN. There are some authors I have been meaning to read for ages, and Philip Fracassi is one of them. I recently read his latest book and really enjoyed it! www.fantasybooknerd.com/2025/10/book...

Hello! It’s the weekend and time to relax with the latest Wombling Along as I have a selection of reviews and other online article that may have a temptation or two for you! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/10...

My TBR is shaping up to be a fantastic mix of brand new titles and some glorious #RetroHorror. My medication-induced brain fog seems to be improving, so I'm excited to start getting those pages turning. Kendall Reviews, together let's Promote Horror

Happy HALLOWEIRD day!!

Will all of James Herbert's books get reissued? I'm assuming they won't all get 50th Anniversary Editions as that'll take until 2062 I'd love a full bibliography reissue with matching spines and fonts.

The Hunting Party: Episode 2 There's a seed of a great idea here, but it's incredibly cheesy in execution. Conveniently plotted with daytime TV acting and production. I'll give episode 3 a chance 😆

I guess these books would be considered the reason why I read horror. I believe I discovered James Herbert's 'The Rats' when I was about 10. 😲😆

Darcy Coates looks to tick a lot of boxes when it comes to all things spooky and supernatural. Any fiends read her work? It looks like she has published around four books a year 😲 Which would you recommend?

Are there any books out there that play out like The Conjuring series?

My early morning PS5 session saw me complete Alone In The Dark. A 'survival horror', which isn't scary, has to be this games biggest sin. An enjoyable enough experience but clunky combat and repetitive puzzling means I'm not going to replay as Emily immediately. 6/10

I watched the first episode. Dodgy script, dubious acting, and pretty cheesy. Really does have a daytime TV vibe. The story premise is ridiculous, yet I'm intrigued and will give episode 2 a chance. It's kinda like a serial killer X-Files.

I wonder if Bill and George's boat is still riding the waves?

I've been invited to a book thing on Thursday. Sadly, it's in Scotland, so I won't be able to make it. Fingers crossed my health/mobility improves so I can get back out there.

New Review Happy publication day to this exciting supernatural occult tale that has a fascinating premise and lead character - The Sound of The Dark by @dannythechurch.bsky.social is out now and highly recommended - many thanks @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/10...

I really enjoyed A Man At War. Johnny's a fantastic writer, editor, and person. Genuinely one of the genres good guys. Go grab a few of his books and give him a follow. (I'd also recommend Bound In Blood via @titanbooks.bsky.social)

ILLUSIONS OF PRESENCE and BOUND IN BLOOD in the biggest bookshop in Berlin!! Mind BLOWN!!

I wonder if Bill and George's boat is still riding the waves?

The Hunting Party sounds like it might be right up my street. It also looks like trashy American daytime TV, which isn't really my thing. The story begins after a catastrophic explosion at a secret prison allows the inmates to escape into the wilderness. 😆 Any fiends seen it?

My early morning PS5 session saw me return to Alone In The Dark. Its biggest failure is the complete lack of scares and repetitive puzzling. Acting and story are hokey. I'm invested in completing it, but I'm glad this was available via PS+ as it's pretty underwhelming so far.

I've adored David's previous books. I'm really looking forward to this one and so should YOU!

IT: Welcome to Derry. Episode 1 was pretty good. The escalation of the opening scene was superb, although the reveal was maybe a bit too much. Less is more. I hope it doesn't throw CGI at the screen all the time. I loved the look of this show and how no one appears to be safe.

@thelilyallen.bsky.social's West End Girl is an incredible album. Brutal honesty whilst digging into the breakup of a marriage. Based on the subject matter, you may be surprised to hear this is one of the finest 'pop' albums I've heard in years. #WestEndGirl #LilyAllen

I've just posted a brand new short story over at Patreon, available for all members. Or you can read it for AU$5 (about US$3.00) without signing up. Please share! www.patreon.com/posts/oath-s...

GenV: Season 2 was a clunky, conveniently plotted mess. Beyond the central 'plot', things were thrown at the wall to see what sticks. Harrased waitress plot? Minimal jeopardy and payoff. I love The Boys sandbox, so it was an OK watch, but the new Boys series better deliver

I can't believe a woman pouring acid over her face, a man having knives stabbed into both eyes, being disembowled and the knife then shoved down his throat is overshadowed by the horrific rascism the police spout in the opening 40 pages. 😲

Brand new book has arrived, and it feels 'cheap' The cover has this 'sticky' layer that's peeling around the edges. The cover also has a tendency to curl and marks easily. Due to the printing not wanting to go too close to the spine, the text and cover are annoyingly right justified. £20 🤬

I've been a fan of Björk since 1993 and love her work. I respect her growth as an artist and find her later works satisfying, but I'd love it if she dropped an album of bangers in the vein of Big Time Sensuality.

Name your Top 3 Stephen King books. I'll go first... 1) Revival 2) IT 3) 'Salem's Lot

My early morning PS5 session saw me continue with Alone In The Dark. I'm rather enjoying this now. Yes, it is pretty linear, slow with dubious acting, but there's something encapsulating about this old-school adventure. I've only completed 13% of the trophies so far.
