Happy Hallowe’en, fiends! What a day. New Creeper album, new Alkaline Trio single, and then guising in the rain with my kids. 🎃

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT Because it seems like a good Tuesday for this. Janet returns May 1st, 2026. Coming from Strange Wilds Press. Official cover reveal and pre-order coming in 2026. More below.

My colleagues got me a copy of @natcassidy.bsky.social’s Nestlings shipped over from America for my birthday and it is without a doubt the most skin-crawlingly tense, jaw-droppingly upsetting, insightfully clever ‘vampire’ book I’ve read in a long time. Instantly one of my favourite horror reads.

We're running a giveaway for a copy of Turbine 34 by Katherine Clements. It's our last giveaway of the year! UK residents enter over on our IG

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.

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.
