The eldritch horror gods of @titanbooks.bsky.social have sent me an arc of The Hive by @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social & it’s one of those review copies that’s just a normal book & it’s HUGE (& hive detail is on point)
Great time to be a Malfi-ite (a fan of his books if that attempt to coin a word failed)
😍😍😍😍
Now that I've submitted my blurb, I can tell you that @boneysoups.bsky.social's THE RED SACRAMENT is bloody epic. It's so rich, so textured, so evocative, and so transporting. It's like Anne Rice but smarter. titanbooks.com/72219-the-re...
netgalley approved my request for THE RED SACRAMENT by @boneysoups.bsky.social i havent been able to put it down since. the prose is gorgeous and the way it sketches scenes & characters is so effortlessly fluid. you gotta read this when it comes out. it's gonna blow everything else out of the water
Very cool.
thread: how I built the magic system for the red sacrament
Never forget the guy who had been waiting half an hour for his food in the pizza place I ran, who RANG THE FUCKING RESTAURANT FROM HIS TABLE to ask where it was.

Realized my @titanbooks.bsky.social demons are finalists for both the Bram Stoker Awards and the Splatterpunk Awards. I'm proud of this book, both as a fiction collection and because of the personal connection readers have shared about, whether in their demon days or remembering them.
Thank you 🖤😈
Listen to Premee! I don’t make the rules!
Hi quick reminder :) If you do not preorder THE RED SACRAMENT by @boneysoups.bsky.social I will come over to your house and bite you myself :) And I am not a vampire so it will be horrible and painful and messy :)

There's been a change of cover for my new novel THE CRACKS!
Written under the name T. H. Huddleston and published by @titanbooks.bsky.social on Oct 6, it's a satirical Gothic thriller all about class, inequality and the enduring power of punk rock.

We’re delighted to share the new cover for THE CRACKS by @tomhuddleston.bsky.social, coming in October 2026! 🖤🏠
This funny and delightfully scary novel is a love letter to the power of punk, in which a woman clashes with an ancient English manor hell-bent on upholding tradition…

Had an amazing time, as always, at the Ghost Story Festival. Still the best genre event I go to every single year.
Happy birthday! Welcome to the 40 club!
Who wants a ghost story these days? These people totally have the answer…

I was bleary-eyed and Not Quite Awake but after @dancarpenter.bsky.social’s workshop on experimental fiction I am not only energised but also might have an inkling of how to tackle structure challenges in the novel?!
This morning I finally wrote a sentence in the novel that I have had in my head since I wrote the very first sentence about three years ago. The big, big reveal. Feels very satisfying to have done that... now I've just got to finish the damn thing.
Today!!

Here's where I'll be over the weekend at the UK Ghost Story Festival in Derby.
The kids watched IF yesterday, and not the good one. My takeaway from it is that I'm now absolutely convinced that John Krasinski has never seen a film in his life.
The Gorton and Denton result is fantastic for several reasons, but easily the funniest one is that the Tories got so few votes that they LOST THEIR DEPOSIT.
In a word: yes!
In several more words, Joel Lane on Cornell Woolrich:

I AM SO IN.

I've been running workshops recently about horror, but one of the things I've tried to impress on people is that prose is a form that has distinct advantages over movies and TV, and as writers, we should be exploiting those advantages.
This is a really good piece about that very thing.
