"Incarnate inverses that old cop-out: 'it was all just a dream'. Here, realising something you'd assumed real was actually a dream makes things more scary, not less."

Bizarrely me and Steve Black Shuck both had the same idea for the cover art completely independently…
A fun coincidence and/or an omen of horrific doom, who knows
I’m always doing that too, to be fair
Ahh cheers Neil!
Very pleased to say my new collection, DEFENSIVE WOUNDS & OTHER STORIES, is out in March from Black Shuck Books! Thanks to Steve for putting it out there, & thanks to all on here who's supporting my writing so far - without you this book wouldn't exist.

“Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass”

Cooking spuds and
The cover of the magazine depicting a spooky ghost worm thing.
New story out in Chthonic Matter Quarterly!
This one’s about a cursed art exhibit of statues made from the reclaimed wood of haunted houses and the poor docent that has to deal with them :)
Fun stuff!

Biographical note from ‘The Penguin Classics Book’
Attempting to learn Horrified Dungeons & Dragons (birthday present) - seems a fun game, albeit the D&D angle is pretty cosmetic rather than being like an RPG. Bonus points that the game box itself is a mimic…
Thanks mate.
Someone has some very nice things to say about my novel* ‘The Quarantined City’ from Infinity Plus on their substack…

RIP Tom Stoppard. A true one off.
Funny obviously but there’s a scaffold of intellectual play and a void of darkness and dare I say Weirdness in the true sense underneath his work.
All amazing albums - as is Kingsize
Great to see a new, lengthly, positive review of one of my favourite albums, from a woefully neglected band
Really pleased to be taking part in the UK Ghost Story Festival again next year, organised by the indefatigable @alexdavis1981.bsky.social
