DARKSOME is finished! A huge undertaking but so worth it. A multigenerational horror epic set in remotest Maine. Off to my publisher at Doubleday Books next week.

"We are all manifold. There are bright angels and dark demons in each of us." Beautifully written wildly twisting mystery & gripping horror tale. Filled with misdirection of the highest sort! NOT a re-telling! @craigrussellauthor.bsky.social #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚📚❔📚❓ 💙📚 🩸📚

THE DEVIL ASPECT by Craig Russell is on this fabulous list of '15 Horror books that messed me up.' "It feels vintage and fresh at the same time, with the horror elements of Gothic folklore and psychology striking the right balance." - Winter is Coming winteriscoming.net/15-horror-bo...

In advance of my short story appearing in Die Zeit's English-language Spotlight magazine, catch me talking about all things writing with Die Zeit's English-language Spotlight team. This was so much fun! All in English!

Delighted my forthcoming novel DARKSOME has been bought by Jason Kaufman, who's also Dan Brown’s editor, at @doubledaybooks. I'm hugely grateful to my agent @cbuccibookman.bsky.social of Aevitas Creative for stepping in so swiftly and expertly after the tragic death of Esmond Harmsworth.

Wow! My novel The Devil Aspect has been chosen by Mysterious Bookshop for USA TODAY’s ten best thriller/mystery novels! I’m in there with Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins, and Stephen King. Huge privilege to be in their number. 10best.usatoday.com/lifestyle/be...

This morning's Bank Holiday walk / climb. Beautiful day for it.

When you look out your window and find one of the locals acting the goat…

"Hay ciertos conceptos totalmente ajenos a la mente glasgowiana: ensalada, higiene dental, perdón". "El beso de Glasgow". Craig Russell Buenos días. #novelanegra #ellugardeloshechos

Clever and enjoyable horror/suspense novel from @craigrussellauthor.bsky.social about Hollywood’s silent era. Some deft passages detailing the politics and filmmaking process definitely benefitted from some excellent research.

Snow's arrived …

Evening all …

Part horror, part crime thriller, it follows a Dr. working in a prison/asylum while a serial killer continues to strike in the nearby town. The story is really interesting but so is the setting of 1935 Czechoslovakia. Combining the horrors of the story with the growing horrors across the border.

Pues esto es un grandísimo libro. Craig Russell sigue en plena forma especializándose en thrillers con una mezcla de gótico y un toque de terror. ¿Qué es El paraíso del Diablo? Pues la cinta cinematográfica de terror más grande de todos los tiempos. Y sobre ella pesa una maldición.

Acabo de ver que Craig Russell publica nuevo libro. ¿Que quién es Craig Russell? Un escritor escocés que tiene en su haber uno de mis libros favoritos: «El aspecto del diablo». Por cierto, tengo pendiente jugar el escenario con Trueque basado en el libro. 😀

1927: In Hollywood wird der Film "Devil's Playground" gedreht, von dem man behauptet , dass alle an der Produktion Beteiligten mit einem Fluch belegt sind ... 1967: Ein Journalist versucht die einzige Kopie dieses Films zu finden ... Ein Meisterwerk! 📚 #Booktober #Bücher #Thriller

13. El Imperio final es un libro autoconclusivo que... Ahora, fuera coñas, recomiendo el libro que me vicio al género del misterio: “El aspecto del diablo”, de Craig Russell

#Booktober 📚 Auf dem Film "Devil's Playground" soll ein tödlicher Fluch lasten und 40 Jahre nach seiner Entstehung begibt sich der Journalist Paul Conway auf die Suche nach der einzig verbliebenen Filmkopie ... Sehr spannend! CN: Mord
