SUNDIAL, by Catriona Ward: If you are a thriller fan, a mystery fan, and/or a horror fan, DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK. Authentically terrifying. Published next month.
My darling

has no more tubes in him of any kind, has been moved out of the ICU to a neuro ward, and is expected home in the first few weeks of January. I have never been so relieved and happy, even with the prospect of Christmas in a hospital ward in Hillingdon.
STEPHEN KING is ´blown away’ by
#THELASTHOUSEONNEEDLESSSTREET
he calls it a ‘true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end. Haven't read anything this exciting since GONE GIRL.’ STEPHEN KING STEPHEN KING STEPHEN KING
The buzz building around Catriona Ward's THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET is real. I've read it and was blown away. It's a true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end. Haven't read anything this exciting since GONE GIRL.
Oh do continue to relentlessly tag me in your one star review of my book - in which you refer to me consistently and casually as ‘Cat’ as if you know me - oh do do
I am absolutely beside myself that THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET won the August Derleth Award for best horror novel last night.

1/3 My wonderful partner
@EdMcDonaldTFK
was hospitalised on Tues with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare nerve disorder. His muscles have stopped working and he is on a ventilator. He can't breathe, move or speak without assistance. It was v sudden, I am still in shock.
Just pressed SEND on book 5, LOOKING GLASS SOUND, to my fantastic editors on both sides of the Atlantic and now I'm sort of crying a bit but also really want a lot of wine
First time I've seen a physical copy of this book that is going to melt your brain and it's a stunner!

Hello, undoubtedly nice and well-meaning person, please stop tagging me in your 3/5 star review of my book. I get it, I am only slightly above average. The B plus of writers. Truly you have made your point.
Just did an interview for a big magazine, sent it off with a picture only to be told that ‘the particular pose is not the most flattering!’ I am absolutely over this shit
Laid hands on LOOKING GLASS SOUND in physical form for the first time. 🪞 Such a moment. This is the beautiful U.K. edition, coming April 11th from

3/3 Ed can't receive gifts or flowers at the hospital but I'm currently allowed one hour's visit a day. If friends would like to send him a note/ video message, I know he'd really appreciate that. Please DM or email me.
2/3 There's a lot of uncertainty ahead. Apparently many people make a full recovery after months of speech and physical therapy. Ed won't be answering email, phone or on social media for some time. His publishers and agent have been wonderful & supportive
3/3 this has been horrible. But we are, fingers crossed, over the worst, life threatening stage of things. You are all lovely, kind people for cheering Ed on so wholeheartedly. Hopefully we will all be raising our glasses together at a con or book event in a year or so. xxx
Just had a photoshoot for 🤐 SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING that I can’t talk about yet 🤐 and wore my new white dress embroidered with gold so yes I am feeling FANCY basically
a young boy in the shop didn’t have enough money for his fizzy drink and the young woman behind him insisted on paying for it. He resisted a lot at first. Later outside I saw him enjoying it, head tipped back, eyes closed. It’s these little things that keep me going
I've never done this before but I now absolutely see the point. NO ONE is home and I have just had amazing news that I can't share - so YEAH. VAGUETWEET💥🎉👻🔥🚨
We’re thigh deep in boxes, no one can find the kettle and the spare bedroom is a Tetris of furniture and swords. But
