I’ve had the very great pleasure of reading an advance copy of Reports of His Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated by James Goodhand. It’s an outstanding depiction of loneliness and regret but also full of joy and human warmth. It immediately became one of my all-time favourites. Out in July.

This by @chucktingle.bsky.social is my final read of 2024 and I am having a blast with it - a fabulous way to end the year.

Really feeling the short days this year for some reason. It feels like you wake up and there’s a tantalising glimpse of watery grey light… and then immediately it’s pitch black again.
