I've written a big piece for the Observer about the Big C. Would be lovely if you find time to read it sometime and feel free to share.

It's weird how the Trump administration hasn't really noticed that the US comics industry is such a high-profile bastion of largely liberal thought, even the corporate-owned giants of Marvel and DC. Wonder if it's on their list to get round to at some point.

This sounds brilliant.
The Kickstarter for THE DEVIL'S SOUND, a six-part immersive audio project set in the world of Withered Hill, Scuttler's Cove and Scratch Moss -- it's fun, innovative, gets you fit and is as cheap as chips. Please check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

This should be a great project as long as it gets funded - Barnett’s folk horror novels are superb and the “Roads to Withered Hill” immersive audio was very effective.

Today is St Dwynwen’s Day in Wales, which features heavily in THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT, probably my favourite of my non-horror novels. Lighthouses! Romance! A seal called Bruce!

Please take a look at this. Pledges have slowed but it’s going to be incredible.
