Sinister numbers stations anyone? My creepy novella THE TOLWORTH BEACON is free on Kindle till Sunday.

Updated editions of THE DAEDALUS TRANSFER and SCHAEFER'S INTEGRITY, my two space exploration novels, coming very soon.

I can never fully remove this image from my mind. It's from the Hammer House of Horror episode The Two Faces of Evil. I first saw it in the early 1980s when I was about 9. It absolutely terrified me. This was the moment I realised how great horror is.

I don't know if it's the same for all you other writers in the northern hemisphere, but February always seems to be my best writing month. 26k words done now. Can't wait to get the first draft completed.

Hit 18k words on my next short novel. The structure of the chapters is quite specific so having them all mapped out in advance to quite a level of detail has massively helped put all the puzzle pieces of the overall mystery together. I love this part of the writing process.

My time-travel horror novella THE SAPLING METHOD is currently FREE on Kindle. Imagine having dinner with not just one of your future selves, but two. Be careful though. Sharing information, and tampering with time, means time may try to stop you. Things could get nasty. Link ⬇️

Thanks for reading and recommending my book! I really appreciate it!

HOODWINK'S FOLLY is free on Kindle till tomorrow. It's a creepy supernatural mystery (with a dash of horror) that's bound to get under your skin. UK Link: amzn.to/3Nmjmh1 US Link: bit.ly/3A1Spfz

Finished all of the Foundation books and now I'm working my way through the remaining novels. Onto these now. Love the covers #asimov

MURDER INFERNO by Stephen Winter @spwinter.bsky.social is a class act. Here's my review: huwlangridge.co.uk/book-review-...

Does anyone else miss the mass-market paperback format? I was just flicking through some at a second-hand stall. I'd love to reissue some of my books in that size. It would be very fitting for THE TOLWORTH BEACON and THE TRAIN SET. #BookSky

I made a Spotify playlist to share ten inspirational tracks that have influenced my writing. I'll be updating it regularly, and I'd be thrilled if you added it to your collection. The first track (Healer) got me started with writing THE TOLWORTH BEACON, after 2 years of planning. spoti.fi/4ip6YL2

I'm sorry to say that I have barely sold any copies of HOODWINK'S FOLLY so I've decided to drop the price to 99p. I read somewhere that it's never about the price. Maybe that's true but perhaps my retro cover isn't helping.

Here's my review of the fantastic #scifi novel TIME'S ELLIPSE by @frasierarmitage.bsky.social huwlangridge.co.uk/book-review-...

Just went down a Pocketeers rabbit hole. Any 80s kids out there who remember these? They were awesome. #pocketeers #retro

I wrote a blog piece about UAPs. If you don't know anything about them, do have a read. huwlangridge.co.uk/buckle-up-an...

Me and coconut are not friends and yet somehow my first three days of Celebrations advent calendar openings have resulted in this!

I wrote a blog piece about Prefab Sprout music being perfect for Christmas. huwlangridge.co.uk/proper-chris...

It was just before ten o’clock. I'd left the radio on, hissing static quietly in the lounge. The last of the warm light was almost gone from the still evening. Suddenly the white noise stopped and the radio started talking. #numbersstations #scifi #Booksky

Why is my Facebook feed being absolutely bombarded with recipes for seriously calorific and garlicky American dishes that you make in an air fryer which I don't own. I mean, what's "heavy cream"?!

Book pages should be numbered backwards so we’re always counting down how many pages we have left

Have you ever listened to those Numbers Stations late at night on a shortwave radio? Is the Lincolnshire Poacher tune stuck in your head? Is someone watching your house? THE TOLWORTH BEACON is a creepy English #scifi thriller. amzn.to/3Ah1Guw

Playing around with Grok, asking it to generate box art for my fictional #boardgame. I'd buy it, but then again, knowing what happens in the story, maybe I wouldn't. #Kindle #KindleUnlimited #horrorstories

I was lucky enough to be able to ask Susanna Clarke a question about her drafting and editing process for Piranesi, during the Q&A at the Womens Prize event at the Storyhouse Chester Lit Festival event. Got a couple of signed books too.

It's out! HOODWINK'S FOLLY is now available to buy on Amazon on Kindle and in paperback. A short horror novel about a creepy boardgame that alters the lives of a family who buy it as a birthday present for nine-year-old Mark. UK Link: amzn.to/3Nmjmh1 US Link: bit.ly/3A1Spfz
