Two months till the launch of The Burning Grounds, the new Wyndham & Banerjee novel! I'll be going round the country, chatting with some stellar writers. There'll be laughs, tears, wine, more tears and murder (possibly). It's gonna be great! Hope to see you there!

Thanks @HildasCrime for livestreaming Detecting the Gothic weekend! It combined two of my fave things: sleuths and spookiness 🖤🔍 Highlights included challenging genre boundaries, folk horror, the occult, and celebrating Gothic silliness. 📚 👻 Not all ‘Poe-faced’ #HCFW2025
