A fabulous view in The Herald for @mkhardywrites' Scottish Sapphic Gothic - THE NEEDFIRE! "A consistently enjoyable mash-up of Gothic romance, Jamesian horror and Sapphic love story" Buy: https://t.co/KDzZHZnAGM

The Needfire, by @mkhardywrites (pub by @Solarisbooks) is a great sapphic gothic novel, a proposal that blends classic motifs with a touch of modernity, perfect if you like highly atmospherical books. Full thoughts: https://t.co/5mYYUvptev

We're still here but probably not posting much; activity is over on bsky and insta. Links in linktree, cat for attention.

For all of us currently tempted to run into the forest screaming, can I recommend taking some valerian with you? It's publication day for WE ARE ALL GHOSTS IN THE FOREST and I'd love it so much if you'd give it a go. Links and things below...

A little extract of nothing at all (for now)

Seriously folks, pick it up. It's a romp*! *grief-filled, poignant exploration of how far one will go to survive in a world that only wants to take

Just finished Asunder by Kerstin Hall and it IS as haunting & tense & beautiful as the blurbs say, but also consider that it: - is a fantasy road trip novel - has companions as well-written as any Dragon Age instalment - has dead gods, living gods, & giant spiders

14th NOVEMBER! I can't wait for this chat about digital dystopias & strange futures with the wonderful @writerlynds & @mkhardywrites at @WstonesDundee https://t.co/muaD2ChLBV

Scene list for Boat Book looks a lot like we're planning a pretty fun party...

@djdaisyjohnson @JuliaArmfield @FancyEliza A real vibe here of just having been invited into Julia Armfield's lounge here where your much smarter, funnier mates are having this freewheeling chat while you try to keep up. Which I (M) personally love.

@djdaisyjohnson @JuliaArmfield @FancyEliza Talking monstrosity: is it possible to write horror and monsters and not grapple with what came before? A: fear is a regressive emotion so it's difficult to avoid falling into old tropes; but also there's value to reimagining and revisiting it from different povs and settings.

@djdaisyjohnson Now we're joined by @JuliaArmfield, @FancyEliza and Lottie Mills for Weird Bodies. VERY excited for this,
