Now reading - Unquiet Guests (2025), a collection of haunted house short stories edited by @dancoxon.bsky.social and published by @deadinkbooks.bsky.social
Really enjoyable so far, with a good level of modest experimentation with form and genre. Was surprised to see Palahniuk going Weird! #booksky

#1 Hot New Release in Amazon's Cosmic & Eldritch Horror category too, ahead of new books by India-Rose Bower and Ronald Malfi. I'm honestly thrilled and confused. Clearly I sacrificed to the right gods.

Inside Trump's deportation 'goon squads' that are blueprint for Farage's Britain
Armed ICE officers ruthlessly swoop on US homes in the dead of night, rounding up men and locking them in shackles ready for deportation. The Mirror has watched them in action

I feel kind of guilty saying it since the world has been such a bin fire, but 2025 has been good to me. A World Fantasy Award, haunted houses, magic, Neutral Milk Hotel, alcoholism in Wake in Fright, folk-horror and Best Horror of the Year. Bring on 2026.
