Bear Season is an excellent book and now I’m halfway through The Retreat and it’s so so brilliant. Give me found footage and isolated places and unusual people every time.

Spotted today in the library.

Folk horror at its Scottish finest.

Hello. Do I know anyone who knows anyone who knows about the archaeology of Islay? It’s for something I’m writing. All leads appreciated, thanks.

Thank goodness for @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social delivering good news on this dark and rainy Sunday. I can’t wait to get started on The Off-Season by @jodierobins.bsky.social!

If you fancy a listen to my passionate defence of the semicolon, you can hear me one hour and fifty into this: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I’m listening to @talkscaredpod.bsky.social interviewing @michellepaver.bsky.social and @unheimlichmanvr.bsky.social and I am absolutely desperate for Rainforest and Man Eater. It takes a lot to lure me from the frozen poles but buried (literally) secrets and sentient flowers will do it.

Happy May Weekend! I’ll be celebrating by drinking lots of coffee and reading lots of horror.

I’ve managed to talk my way onto BBC Radio Scotland to discuss why semicolons are lovely and why us teachers need to up our game with grammar. 📻 10:50am tomorrow.

Today two of my senior pupils hung about outside my classroom and then asked me to sign copies of Hunger after class ended. I felt like Taylor Swift for a moment 🖤

I cracked 60k on my novel today. The chapter I wrote involves broken furniture, snapping teeth, and a somewhat immersive experience into a chest cavity. Here’s to the next 20k 🦷 🩸

This is such a good episode. @natcassidy.bsky.social on fatherhood is absolute gold.

I don’t know how I’d cope if I was rich enough to buy the rights to novels. I’d be buying them left, right, and centre. This book was great - let’s make it a movie - let’s live in this world.

Thanks Gabino! My short horror HUNGER is about an old house, a young family, and a dangerous wooden box found under the floorboards. “A spine-tingling story where the supernatural and parenthood collide” - A Douglas, Divinations Magazine Download for 0.99: £ amzn.eu/d/iLTW6I9 $ a.co/d/gyVWKSc
