Don’t give a shit if going to the pub on your own to have a pint and write your book is deemed sad.
I’ve just been to the cinema on my own!
It’s not loneliness. It’s a choice.
My thoughts on THE BRIDE.
Knock knock. #LetterBoxd #TheBride #FilmSky
I literally follow your list, this is so dumb of me. @pseudopod.org @frombeyondpress.bsky.social @gravesidepress.bsky.social Dead Fox Publishing, @underbellybooks.bsky.social @quirkbooks.bsky.social @wordhorde-emporium.bsky.social @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social
Always excited for a new @craigwallwork.bsky.social novel.
Looking forward to this 👇
Because I hate talking about books, more so mine, during any and all podcast interviews that may fall out of my book launch, I’ll be taking a shot of alcohol every time the word “vampire” is said.
I call it my Withnail strategy.
Coming soon from @nwreader.bsky.social

Once you’ve read this scene, you won’t forget it.
The process. The birth of the novel looms. Fragmented sleep. Worries. The edits are calling. My publisher rubs my back & tells me it’s going to be okay. But there’s always pain before the head crowns. There’s always sweat & blood. But the vampire is calling. It wants out of my head & into the world.
Tickle me pink. The @criterion.bsky.social of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD just turned up. #FilmSky
These vampires don’t play by the rules.

SINNERS sets a record for most Oscar nominations. 2026 is the year of the vampire. Not saying that because I have a vampire book coming out this year… well okay, I am saying that. #vampireskillin2026
Even vampires need to check their hair.

We know what @craigwallwork.bsky.social has planned for 2026. And believe us, you’re not ready for it. But when it comes - it’ll singe your eyelashes.
Happy New Year to one and all. #NewYear

Everything I read in 2025…. Including books from @claymcleod.bsky.social @kevharrison.bsky.social @timmcgregor.bsky.social @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social @craigwallwork.bsky.social @ljdougherty.bsky.social @paultremblay.bsky.social @natcassidy.bsky.social @beverleylee.bsky.social here’s to 2026!
Thanks to the two people who bought my books this month.
No, I’m not being sarcastic. And yes, this is the reality of being an indie writer.
In addition to my #LastFourWatched, this week I have been mostly watching…
MEMORIES OF MURDER
THE BRAND NEW TESTAMENT
HELLAPOPPIN’
THE ICE STORM
HIGHWAY PATROLMAN
BANDÉ A PART
#LetterBoxdFriday
It’s insensitive and diabolical to pour scorn on a beloved celebrity and humanitarian following his passing, but for Trump to double down and not offer any apology following his remarks toward Reiner optimises how much of a parasite he is to this planet.
Glut from the new Vampire novel. I may need to reinstate it.
I’ve made the difficult (and selfish) decision not to release/giveaway any of my books for free from now on.
Why? Well, simple.
Nobody reads anything they get given for free. But if you have to part with cash, readers read.
Father Karras: Why her? Why this girl?
Father Merrin: I think the point is to make us despair. To see ourselves as... animal and ugly. To make us reject the possibility that God could love us.
The Exorcist.
THE NINE O'CLOCK HORSES & OTHER STORIES is out now!
