Thanks to @keithrosson.bsky.social for the kind words on my debut collection HUNTING BY THE RIVER.
Now reading. If nothing else, it's worth it for the story RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, which is the unholy mix of YESTERDAY and 11/22/63 and is a far, far more accomplished story about the Beatles than the former. What a fantastic piece of short fiction. @natcassidy.bsky.social @shortwavebooks.bsky.social
Parents are having a clear out of my stuff at their house and they have found my origin story.
Stokercon was fantastic. Inspiring, thrilling, and extremely enjoyable in equal measure. This picture represents both a highlight and my current state of being.
Stokercon is excellent, as always. As always, I don't take nearly enough photos.
Absolutely fantastic. Thanks @philipasuggars.bsky.social for the recommendation.
Gareth Edwards manages to get one or two decent set pieces out of JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH, but not even he can make the characters interesting, the plot compelling, or make us forget the dreadful trilogy that he's following. Saying this is the one of the better sequels is not the praise it should be.
Being a fan of I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE probably set me up for enjoying the hell out of FRIENDSHIP, so it's no surprise at all that I really really loved it. Echoes of THE CABLE GUY or the early, good, Duplass films. Nicely restrained Paul Rudd, and bonus Slipknot.
Thrilling to see the @titanbooks.bsky.social Pulitzer Prize edition of @danielkraus.com' Angel Down on the table at Waterstones alongside some exceptional company.
Rewatching 30 Rock and I think this is still possibly one of the best constructed jokes in anything, ever.
Happy tenth anniversary to the greatest correction in a newspaper, ever.
Finally, finally watching this. Maybe the best horror musical since The Wicker Man??? Incredible.
Presenting the Met Gala outfit that best matches my debut collection HUNTING BY THE RIVER

This was my writing spot for the last 24 hours. I've written a new short story (and made a start on novel 2)!
