Still blown away by the fact that Heartwood won a World Fantasy Award last night. Such a fantastic weekend at the World Fantasy Convention, topped off in spectacular style. Wonderful to meet @joe-hill.bsky.social and @ericlarocca.bsky.social too. Now, back to work!
I might be biased, but the Dead Ink sale looks flippin' great. 50% off a whole host of wonderful books, including my anthology Unquiet Guests (now £10!) and all of our Writing... series. Fill your boots!

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.

Those of you who use Audible should know that UNQUIET GUESTS is now also available as an audiobook. Not as pretty as the gorgeous hardback edition, but easier to stick in your ears.
