Nobody did it better

Do YOU live in or near Cambridge? Are YOU free on the evening of Thursday June 25th, ie, this Thursday? I will be at Heffer's Bookshop, talking about Solace House, weird geometry, storytelling and all of that good stuff. Come along!

Just a reminder that my novel Solace House is the perfect read for what I’m dubbing “Unsettled Reader Summer” and is currently ONLY 99p on Kindle. Which is a steal, frankly. Here’s a copy with an oyster mushroom growing from it

Dance like nobody’s watching Realise everyone is Relocate to the Midlands Live the rest of your life under a false identity

Wow! Thanks David! So nice to see the title card of this, after all these years!

HELLO EVERYONE WHO HAD MEETINGS WITH US ABOUT BROKEN VEIL AND THEN NOTHING HAPPENED. HELLO. IS THIS THING ON?

This is just, as an author, the most marvellous thing you could hope to read. Just wonderful to know someone loves your work like this. theupstairswindow.substack.com/p/will-macle...

RIGHT! Now Broken Veil 2 is done, I'm running the first of my writing courses this year. Five weeks, Sunday afternoons, UK time, online. People have really liked these sessions, so let's do it again. Let me know if you want to join in via the website here... www.gralefrit.co.uk/writers-room...

Congratulations to Elon musk who is now rich enough to end world hunger over 165 times and still stay a billionaire but choses not to.

THIS GUY GETS IT. Excellent review of Broken Veil S2, which can be listened to in its entirety now via Patreon. For the price of like two coffees or half an album. What are you waiting for?

What have we done? Broken Veil series 2 finale is here. But now we know its location, we cannot know anything else about it.

Yes yes work, I'll get to you after I've watched every single ASMR video on YouTube where someone pretends to be a cyborg doctor fixing up my perceptual systems

Joel - former emeritus professor of Blobby dynamics at Crinkley Bottom University - weighs in with his expert opinion

Have YOU woken up late for school, man, and don’t wanna go? Has YOUR pop caught you smoking, man, and said No Way? Has YOUR mum thrown away your best porno mag? You may be entitled to compensation

…and comments like THIS make it all worthwhile. Just knowing all the hard work means something to somebody, that it’s lit up their neurons in a pleasurable way. Thank you everyone who’s listened and taken the time to tell us how much they’ve enjoyed it, it means the world.

Seconded - Thanks for all the love for Broken Veil II. It was incredibly hard work but also an absolute time. And apologies for the (very minor) paywall, but we couldn't afford to do it otherwise.

‘dialectics’ is grad school for ‘there’s two of them’

I've been watching Eurovision since I was a wee boy, and I think this year's might have been the best ever. And the greatest song won. Make your morning 1000% better by listening to it right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mxq...

Sitting in the opticians, whilst my daughter has an eye test. Soaking up the FREE ASMR

The LRB excelling itself. Literally howling with laughter at this.

Happy solace house day to all who celebrate!

Haven’t had time to mention this today, such has this week been, but the wait is over! SOLACE HOUSE is out TODAY, thanks to Atlantic Books! Gorge yourself on its gorgeousness!

Hurrah! Miranda Swayer is lovely, and this is a great review. And yeah, apologies it's behind a paywall this time, but stuff costs money to make, I'm afraid.

It is! A strange, untameable beast! Can't wait for people to read it...

Episode 3 is here! We are on the hunt for otherwordly voices. Be careful what you wish for.

“I got chills, they’re multiplying”, “Anybody could be that guy” and “You’re just somebody that I used to know”. All song lyrics which could also be the tagline for The Thing.

A pattern is emerging... Episode 2 of series 2, out TODAY.

This is what we are doing every day for 12 hours straight at the moment, crouched at desks like monks, so I will keep reminding you of it. It bears the appropriate hallmarks of delight and madness; huge illuminated capitals, marginal beasts. Enjoy. Patreon.com/brokenveil

IT’S BACK. Joel and I take another deep dive into weirdness, this time beginning much closer to home…

IT IS RETURNING. Not long now.

Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

Fundamentally I’m just a guy who wants to be left alone to look at pictures of mosasaurs

Uh huh

I mean, “Bits of an umbrella” is an odd choice for a puzzle theme but I kind of respect how mad it is

I love you @alcs.co.uk The annual ALCS easter egg is an invaluable salve at the most financially vicious time of the year.

Every day I put a banana in my daughter's school bag for a snack and every day I write something stupid on the skin in Sharpie, and today I wrote "The Fate of "I'll Peel Ya!" because she likes Taylor Swift and honestly I think this might be the best material from me in decades

Don’t believe I’ve posted this gorgeous thing yet - this is the fabulous cover of my new novel, Solace House, a strange and compelling thing which I’m delighted to say will be published in the UK by Atlantic on May 7th. Be careful in there…

Yes, it’s Mother’s Day. But let’s not forget our space brethren on this their special celebration - it’s World Contact Day! (If the aliens don’t like The Carpenters, we are screeeeeewwed) youtu.be/teBV0EoJJY8?...

Just time for a round up of those recovered Hartnell Doctor Who episodes. So far, it's eps 1-3 of Spacehorse, episode 9 of The Web of Webs, and all 144 remaining episodes of the historical Chippendale Makes a Chair in Real Time

I mean this would be amazing.

Idea: Great British cryptids on the banknotes. Nessie. Black Shuck. Blobby. All the greats.

@gralefrit.bsky.social and I were discussing Russ Hannemann from Silicon Valley yesterday at forensic length. Has there ever been a better music choice for a character in a sitcom than Russ's commitment to "Butterfly" by Crazy Town?

Well this sucks. Wishing the scourge of demons all the best. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

I may be overselling it here, and I *was* a bit amped up when I watched it, but I *think* I’m right in saying that Predator: Badlands is the greatest film ever made by human beings

"Alas, it seems that I shall not survive this battle of Trafalgar, Hardy, and e'en now, my precious life ebbs away by the second. But I would have you communicate a message to your mother. Tell her... tell her that I never make a wack jam"

Tomorrow! Thrilled to be taking part in the Broken Veil panel at Essex Podcast Festival... quizzing @gralefrit.bsky.social and @willmac23.bsky.social about their brilliant series, and we'll probably head off piste to discuss backrooms and the Usborne Book of Ghosts too. A few tickets left...

Unreasonably excited about this
