"Dark tales of the domestic and demonic - told with wicked glee. Jeffery has a connoisseur's eye for the grotesque and mind-bending."—STEPHEN VOLK, writer of GHOSTWATCH and AFTERLIFE.
THIS is what THIS WAY LIES MADNESS is all about, recognising the real life struggles of living with mental heath issues and seeing them portrayed with sensitivity in horror fiction.

Guy Fawkes: Demon Hunter Is A Bloody Good Time - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website
Tired of dry history? This wildly entertaining review of Guy Fawkes: Demon Hunter proves this alt-history horror mashup, complete with a snarky skull sidekick, is a must-read.

A few pics from World FantasyCon - and what a book tower I came home with (including a diversion to Waterstones round the corner from my travelodge 😅). So pleased to finally meet @leemurraywriter.bsky.social in the flesh, talk to @datlow.bsky.social, & catch @davebjeffery.bsky.social amongst others!

An absolute highlight of the World Fantasy weekend was finally meeting my dear friend, Lee Murray. It was a surreal experience; Lee and I have known and worked together for over seven years and never met in person. What a fantastic creative and beautiful person.

So, for the past four days I attended World Fantasy in Brighton. Expect photos and sentiment, there’s going to be plenty of both. Yes, this event was THAT special.

What a wonderful group of panellists. It was a privilege to share space with you all.
Here’s @davebjeffery.bsky.social @stevetoase.bsky.social @joannacorrance.bsky.social @dancoxon.bsky.social and @jsbreukelaar.bsky.social reflecting on the intersection of gothic, horror, romance, sci-fi and more - that thing we know as weird fiction. It’s the sort of thing that leaves you unsettled.
