ᝰ Writer • horror / sci fi / weird ⚲ London wrote a book about a freaky deaky island with mothmen, writing a book about a freaky deaky town with dodos
As a lark, I just went on the Del Rey website. Oh look, right on the home page, four books that could appeal to men and boys, all authored by men. All it took was 40 seconds and 3 inches of scrolling.
I have been taken by a new book idea which means I get to break out a new brainstorming digital journal and make a cunty little cover for it. I can’t wait to start manuscript 3, SIREN — a pop megastar horror!
Listen, I do think it’s quite an effective hook to have Spider-Man vs 100 Ninjas and the marketing seems to agree, so whyyyy does this movie have a rogue mutant, a rogue Hulk, Punisher, Scorpion, Tombstone, superhero ICE, man-spider, 100 ninja… the trailers have been a mess Stick to the ninjas!
Every time I go on Threads it’s just wall to wall vague posts and riddles and allusions to controversy. People on there need to say it with their chests!!
It feels like I’m howling into the winds of social media but I’ve gone and done a comps and tropes list for THEY CRAWLED ACROSS MY BODY. 🐛 #booksky #authorsky #horrorbooks #horrorwriters
Illustrations for my scifi horror novel THEY CRAWLED ACROSS MY BODY. A grieving archaeologist joins an expedition to study an island that has suddenly appeared in the Atlantic — only to discover it’s sentient. An ancient, intelligent organism that doesn’t take kindly to pests. Art by Max Mitenkov.
You get this guy a whole bed and he’s like no half an inch of the iPad mini will do
First night with my new cat, Beef. I think he wants to kill me for the inheritance.
I’ve been anticipating this book for a while and a quick read before bed indicates a certified banger
I pick up this little goober in a couple of weeks and I can’t think of a name (I am partial to Beef) any suggestions?
In a sign that I am acquiescing that this move may not be temporary, I may have gotten a Maine Coon kitten (complete with pet passport as a hedge that I will move back to London lol) I’ve got a few weeks before pick up and choosing a name, but I’m leaning towards Zaatar. Look at this lil guy!!
