Thank you @bluebookballoon.bsky.social for this superb and thoughtful review! ✨

TWISTED PIKE largely takes place during Withered Hill’s Ostara Festival and it looks like I’ll finish writing it over the Easter weekend which is the first time I’ve actually written a book during the season in which it takes place. Normally it’s Christmas in July round these parts.

S.A. Barnes’ Dead Silence expertly blends space horror with economic dread. A salvage crew finds a ghost ship. The true nightmare is the system that forces them aboard. A fantastic read. gnofhorror.com/dead-silence... @transworldbooks.bsky.social

Regardless of the crappiness of any Monday, #MustRead horror will always rise to improve things. This week: Caroline Colvin starts with the new adaptation of The Burbs, then ranks other suburban horrors @dreadcentral.bsky.social ... 1/?

It's a Monday, and a crappy one at that, but that doesn't stop the 5 must read horror articles online, curated by @kevharrison.bsky.social, only at @thisishorror.bsky.social.

Is Alpha a worthy follow-up to Titane? Julia Ducournau trades feral energy for somber family horror in her latest epidemic thriller. It is visually striking. Expect less chaos. Read our full review. gnofhorror.com/alpha-movie-... @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social

Happy publication day to The People's Republic of Love by @heatherika.bsky.social, out today from @srlpublishing.bsky.social. A very timely book, I think - as well as a gripping and moving one. I'm grateful to both for access to an advance e-copy. bluebookballoon.blogspot.com/2026/03/revi...

What do you think of The British Science Fiction Association’s Best Novel shortlist?

James Everington’s Defensive Wounds is a horror collection that plays by its own rules. Doppelgängers, eco-horror, and M. R. Jamesian dread. One of the most unsettling reads of the year. Full review here: 📚💙 @jheverington.bsky.social

Kirill Sokolov proves his instinct for bloody action is unmatched. Zazie Beetz leads a satanic highrise nightmare in They Will Kill You. Frenetic pacing, arterial humour, and pure chaos. A must-watch for action horror fans. 🩸🔪 gnofhorror.com/they-will-ki... @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social

Finished this yesterday, beautiful retelling of a Greek myth, all about curses, gods, growth, patriarchy, and love #BookSky #comic #GraphicNovel @felicia.day

Alice Maio Mackay’s The Serpent’s Skin tries to fuse trans identity with supernatural horror. It has the heart and the aesthetic, but the metaphor gets lost in a rushed runtime. A disappointing follow-up from a director with so much promise @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social

that BUTTERFLY "moves with the energy of a bar fight. It is fast, brutal, and intimate.... The magic feels like it is bleeding out of the cracks in the pavement... Lee is interested in the idea that feminine rage is a resource. It can be hoarded, stolen, or used to burn the whole city down." ❤️

If you told me last night that I’d have to have a fishing hook ripped out of my left arse cheek, I’d tell you to go home you’re drunk. If only you were drunk. I sometimes think I’m a character in some sickos virtual reality game. 🤬🥵😳

I clearly didn’t clean the butchers block properly yesterday after slicing loads of garlic. I just prepared a bowl of strawberries and melon and it had a distinct garlic taste. It’s not a flavour combo I’d ever recommend

The Womblenator continues the good fight. Check out all of these great articles.

Forbidden Fruits uses mall culture and witchcraft to stage a sharp argument about girl power, control, and self-actualisation. A sly, sardonic horror comedy worth your time. Review here: gnofhorror.com/forbidden-fr... @maddwolfcolumbus.bsky.social

Moving on through this years shortlist for BSFA Best Novel, here is my take on Kirk Weddell's Edge of Oblivion, which gave me a lot to discuss even without getting into spoiler territory concerning the various plot twists. I'm still slightly surprised to see it on the list for the reasons discussed.

For over two years I’ve been calling a publicist by their surname instead of their forename because that’s how they are in their email address I rather embarrassed.

I love a good mystery

I didn't realise the publication date had passed, what an idiot, so here is a special lunchtime review Wolf Worm by T. Kingfisher, does what the best ecological horror does: makes you question where you end and the world begins. @tkingfisher.com @titanbooks.bsky.social

What Frankenstein uniquely acknowledges is the unspoken despair that informs our souls, a unifying, universal factor that, ironically, leaves us more alone and arbitrary than we could ever conceive.

This was a difficult one to write. Grappling with the ideas Shelley raises and the existential questions she dares ask is contrary to so much we are culturally conditioned -and even biologically inclined- to regard as absolute.

A strange noise. A remote island. A farming community slowly losing its mind. Dan Howarth's Drone is rural horror at its most unsettling. @danhowarth20.bsky.social Full review ⬇️

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein isn’t about hubris. It’s about the horror of having existence forced upon you, finding no answer for why, and watching your creator recoil from the reflection of their own sin. Two centuries later, we’re still afraid to ask the question. gnofhorror.com/frankenstein...

New Review - happy publication day to this fine finale to a great series. I highly recommend the action packed space opera Wolfskin by Jeremy Szal out now! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/...
