David Barnett

Hardly surprising. They'll be sitting at home blaming THE FASCISTS for everything.

Huge congrats!

Upsetting all of the people all of the time. Excellent work.

Definitely to the ladder! And I'd probably just live in that room like a bookish Mr Trebus.

Damn, did I already talk about this when drunk?

My primary reason for doing the lottery is to buy a house big enough to have a huge library.

I have an absolute stack of creator-owned comic pitches out in the world at the moment, but I have a wish-list of Marvel and DC properties I'd kill to work on. I'll never say publicly what they are, though, as I'm convinced that would jinx it.

Against the laws of physics, I believe.

Every time.

Sometimes, in a contemplative moment, I wonder if I own too many books and comics.

Huge news for people who like good things.

An Evening with David Barnett - Read Bookshop - Holmfirth We'd love you to try one of our brilliant author events. Why not come to our event with David Barnett, author of Scratch Moss, Withered Hill and Scuttler's Cove.

West Yorkshire folk! In case you were waiting to see if you got a better offer than to come and see me talking about SCRATCH MOSS at the Read Holmfirth bookshop this Saturday, let's face it, you haven't. Only a few tickets left.

He's so brilliant in it.

It's the most un-Marvel Marvel show, at the same time as being quintessentially Marvel.

Watched all of WONDER MAN this week and it's possibly my favourite Marvel TV series of all of them.

The Devil’s Sound A 6 episode immersive audio folk horror experience, set in David Barnett's Withered Hill universe.

There are only three days left so it's unlikely it'll hit its goal, but there's a Kickstarter ongoing for a series of immersive audio stories set in the Withered Hill universe.

Fab news!

Hope you enjoy, Paul! And happy anniversary.

Early anniversary pressie from my love @marieoregan.bsky.social - looking forward to this one by @davidmbarnett.bsky.social

In the blink of an eye, and at a fraction of the private ... First diagnosis, then chemotherapy, now surgery… and more discombobulating than the swiftness of a successful cancer operation was a stark realisation: some people want to sell off the NHS

For the @theobserveruk.bsky.social today the third part of my cancer journey, detailing my operation.

Scratch Moss by David Barnett | Canelo Paperback and Ebook

SCRATCH MOSS by @davidmbarnett.bsky.social is out today with @canelobooks.bsky.social!

A devastating, five-timeline tale centred on a community first invigorated, then devastated by the coal mining industry in the most original folk horror novel of the year.

It's here...

Thank you so much! So pleased you're enjoying them.

Happy publication day to Scratch Moss! I know what I’ll be reading next…

Scratch Moss deserves all the stellar reviews it's going to get. I read it last year and was blown away. It is, as suggested, evidence of a writer hitting their stride and carving out a landscape all of their own.

Buy a copy today. Buy a copy for a friend too.

Thank you! Hope you enjoy!

Oh, and I'll be at the READ HOLMFIRTH bookshop in West Yorkshire on Saturday doing a Scratch Moss event! Handful of tickets left!

To be honest it didn't last beyond the day thanks to my cack-handed stitching...
