Just finished Pre-approved for Haunting by @patrickbarb.bsky.social and it's an awesome collection. Definitely give it a read if you get the chance!

Hell yes! Get some indeed, but also make sure you get onto Beau's Bishop Rider books. So good!

Coming from Andy Cull, this is high praise! And yeah, this other lot are all rad af!

Wahey! Thanks for the in-depth review!

It's true! It's all true!

Hey check it out! How cool is this!

Check it out: a reading from my new novella, TROG. Meet Aisha, our protagonist, right at the moment the bad guys show up!

In the interests of giving people a teaser about my new novella, one that starts out as a home invasion story like The Strangers and that becomes a creature feature like Abominable, I've recorded a live-at-home reading. Come meet Aisha, the teen protagonist in my latest! youtu.be/HumyVqMV1Y0

SundayRecs? SundayRecs! Go on, get some @jordanharper.bsky.social @shellycampbell.bsky.social @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social @michaelclarkbooks.bsky.social @steveweddle.bsky.social @stevestred.bsky.social @zacharyashford.bsky.social and @gabino.bsky.social Fun was had! #BookSky 📚💙

TROG is out today from @zacharyashford.bsky.social - I read it a while back and it still lingers in my mind…if a creature feature is on the cards for your reading, make sure you dive into this bloody, thrilling, propulsive read!

TROG is now free to disrupt a home invasion near you! It's a tightly paced book about an escaped cryptid amping up the terror in the knife's-edge atmosphere of a home invasion, and the young girl fighting to survive the night. Think ABOMINABLE X BECKY. Huge thanks @eddiegenerous.bsky.social

@zacharyashford.bsky.social and @eddiegenerous.bsky.social release Trog today - Congratulations! I really enjoyed this one - Pure monster mayhem!

... Dancing Through the Shadows - edited by @e-r-vickers.bsky.social all proceeds to My Sister's Place domestic abuse survivor's charity, Trog by @zacharyashford.bsky.social coming 11 March @eddiegenerous.bsky.social, One Message Remains by @premeemohamed.com - out now @psychopomp.bsky.social ...

My inaugural review for FanFiAddict is live now! Come see what I thought about @zacharyashford.bsky.social's forthcoming brutal home invasion creature freature via @eddiegenerous.bsky.social, TROG. fanfiaddict.com/review-trog-... #bookreview 🩸📚 💙📚 #horror

Please forgive my continued promotional push in the lead-up to release day for this one. Early reviewers are loving this Home Invasion tale with a cryptid twist. Think Becky X Abominable! Out through Unnerving this March. Pre-order in all the usual places.

TAKING OF JAKE LIVINGSTONE X THE HAUNTED MASK When Ethan saves a cursed old man from thugs, he earns an ancient mask and is sent for revenge. BUT every retaliatory beating he inflicts is a step towards accepting the old man's curse as his own. Can he stop before it's too late? #YA #H #2025pit

Hung out with this fella while I was writing at a national park today.

Time to shout about POLYPHEMUS again. (Looks like I found an old Encyclo logo...oops...) @encyclopub.bsky.social Also...just truck me: POLYPHEMUS and enCYCLOPocalypse. Match made in heaven. Or hell. Whatever.

Not gonna lie, I'm mindful of oversharing and spamming, but this blurb from @aarondries.bsky.social (which is cut from a way longer, way cooler one) made my day when it came through. Of course, I had to bastardize it and make it fit this promotional image.

ICYMI earlier: Check out the paperback version of my debut short story collection! Also, a new 5-star review has been posted: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... Yay. Thank you @emilymarie82.bsky.social. ☺️

Cool-as-all-hell vampire novel unleashed (for a second time)!

I just realized how close we are to TROG time! I need to start promoting this bad boy. Coming from Unnerving in March. If you're a reviewer and you'd like a copy for your blog, let me know. I'd also love to lock in some podcasts/interviews/readings, etc. Send me a message if you can help.

This wallaby.

If anyone knows of any publishers looking for Middle-Grade spec fic, I'd love if you could point me in their direction. I've got the first in a Goosebumps/Witching Hours esque series here, ready to go.

Want to buy one of these just so I can have cheeses on the cross.

Last few days, I've been walking a local bush trail. The lace monitors are out in force.

Be on the Look Out For ... METAMORPHOSIS by Ross Jeffery (@rossjefferyauthor.bsky.social), releasing later this month.

Got to love starting the new year by hitting the 20k point on your latest manuscript. Things in this one are starting to get gnarly.

Tonight I finished reading an ARC of @zacharyashford.bsky.social's upcoming horror novella & really enjoyed it: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... We definitely need more Yowie stories!

#Kindle deal! A ton of books in Unnerving Press' REWIND OR DIE series are just $0.99 each! Works by @eddiegenerous.bsky.social, @haileypiperfights.bsky.social, @vlatinalondon.bsky.social, @zacharyashford.bsky.social, @nicobellfiction.bsky.social, @eveharms.com, & more!! #horror #ad amzn.to/3OBxgfA

@caitlinmarceau.bsky.social Have you paid what's owed to the DarkLit authors yet?

Check it out - I talk about other people's books too! I jhad the great pleasure of listening to Last Night of Freedom by @danhowarth20.bsky.social this week, and it kicked my butt! Like a cross between Calibre and Ready or Not, this buck's party gone wrong made for one hell of a read!

I'm shouting about my books a fair bit on here right now - sorry/not sorry - but I have a new release and an upcoming one! So, POLYPHEMUS, my 3X award nommed death metal-focused faustian horror novel POLYPHEMUS has been re-released by @encyclopub.bsky.social. I'd love for you to check it out!

A fantastic review of my forthcoming novella, TROG, courtesy of @stevestred.bsky.social. Thanks so much for the kind words, Steve! This one comes out through @eddiegenerous.bsky.social early next year. Pre-orders are in the usual places now. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I had a great time hanging out with Jon. We had a real fun conversation. Check it out.

Hell yeah, for the first time in a long time, I just sat and busted out a 5000 word story. Another one set in the Australian wilderness. Needs a read and a polish, but kinda feels like the sort of session that gave me Blood Memory, my first published story.

okay fine, we're doing it

And go on then, let's have another one. This Transylvanian kitty was chilling on a car while we were walking around Brasov. My wife, a wonderful cat lady, takes treats everywhere just for them.

This is probably (easily) my most brutal book. Wolf Creek X Aliens/The Fly. I love when it finds new readers, and hope you'll check it out!

Oh hey, it's another cat pic!

Please hmu with recent recs for stories (for comps) that prominently feature: 1) A young protagonist is taken under the wing of a manipulative elder and gaslit into becoming the unwitting victim of their plan. 2) A bullied boarding school student snaps and seeks revenge on his bullies.

Always loved messing around with clay. Thought I'd spend some downtime here practising so I can make something more substantial when we get home. This is Baxter from my story The Encampment by the Gorge. It's not perfect, and I'll make a bigger one back in Oz, but this was good fun...

The Aussies have arrived!
