🩸 COVER REVEAL 🩸 THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL TO BEING A VAMPIRE Releasing 6.9.26 Preorders available now at www.trubornpress.com/shop What’d you think?

Blood-soaked ARCs of the new book now bat-winging their way to some very cool people. #BookSky @nwreader.bsky.social

Not had enough vampires in my feed? Well, here’s some more.

It’s here… the new book cover for @craigwallwork.bsky.social’s THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL TO BEING A VAMPIRE, published by @nwreader.bsky.social. Can’t wait!

Scream X. Coming 2036. #FilmSky

So this is happening on the 4th of October. Oh wait, dates are the other way around in America, right? So it’s the 10th of April. Yep. 10th of April. #BookSky

I think about that story a lot. I recommended it as recently as last week, because it’s always on my mind, lodged in one of my brain wrinkles I guess. Scientifically speaking.

So a book reviewer sent a message to me today with a quote from something I wrote. It took me sometime to realise it came from the new book.

Currently watching. Eraserhead by David Lynch. #FilmSky

Day at the cinema with the tribe. #cinema #cinemaday #cinephiles #FilmSky

Too…

#LastFourWatched on #LetterBoxdFriday German gangsters, kicks ass ballerinas, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers, and somewhere between a lonely serial killer. #FilmSky

I seriously thought no one liked The Fall of Achilles (probably my fav short), and then along comes @mandagowin.bsky.social with her latest blog post to prove that the things we love are always things loved by others.

Damn. Forgot #LetterBoxdFriday and #LastFourWatched! Does this mean I get kicked out of the club? Belated, but not forgotten.

Hey, looks like the vampire book has a release date. Check out the details for THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL TO BEING A VAMPIRE via the publisher’s media kit. #BookNews #Vampire #Horror

Don’t give a shit if going to the pub on your own to have a pint and write your book is deemed sad. I’ve just been to the cinema on my own! It’s not loneliness. It’s a choice.

My thoughts on THE BRIDE. Knock knock. #LetterBoxd #TheBride #FilmSky

I literally follow your list, this is so dumb of me. @pseudopod.org @frombeyondpress.bsky.social @gravesidepress.bsky.social Dead Fox Publishing, @underbellybooks.bsky.social @quirkbooks.bsky.social @wordhorde-emporium.bsky.social @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social

Always excited for a new @craigwallwork.bsky.social novel.

Looking forward to this 👇

Because I hate talking about books, more so mine, during any and all podcast interviews that may fall out of my book launch, I’ll be taking a shot of alcohol every time the word “vampire” is said. I call it my Withnail strategy.

Coming soon from @nwreader.bsky.social

Rochdale.

Once you’ve read this scene, you won’t forget it.

The process. The birth of the novel looms. Fragmented sleep. Worries. The edits are calling. My publisher rubs my back & tells me it’s going to be okay. But there’s always pain before the head crowns. There’s always sweat & blood. But the vampire is calling. It wants out of my head & into the world.

Tickle me pink. The @criterion.bsky.social of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD just turned up. #FilmSky

SINNERS sets a record for most Oscar nominations. 2026 is the year of the vampire. Not saying that because I have a vampire book coming out this year… well okay, I am saying that. #vampireskillin2026

We know what @craigwallwork.bsky.social has planned for 2026. And believe us, you’re not ready for it. But when it comes - it’ll singe your eyelashes. Happy New Year to one and all. #NewYear

Another mention of THE SKIN WE FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE IN, this time by author Catherine McCarthy.

A selection of great indie books I read this year. I highly recommend all of these!👇📚 (See list below, left to right)

Everything I read in 2025…. Including books from @claymcleod.bsky.social @kevharrison.bsky.social @timmcgregor.bsky.social @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social @craigwallwork.bsky.social @ljdougherty.bsky.social @paultremblay.bsky.social @natcassidy.bsky.social @beverleylee.bsky.social here’s to 2026!

Thanks to the two people who bought my books this month. No, I’m not being sarcastic. And yes, this is the reality of being an indie writer.
