THE CALL, one of the greatest YA fantasy horror mythology novels of our time, gets a welcome rerelease in 2026! Forget the Hunger Games and other over-hyped dystopian romps, this duology smashes it to bits. Cool new cover too.

Cliff McNish is one of my top YA horror writers EVER. So it's great to have the old master back with LILY'S MONSTER, his first kids book in a decade.

Not quite the s**t I usually review, but it was pretty funny and very stupid. If you like toilet humour jump right down the toilet bowl into the sewer!

I do like to see five blokes (or were they?) dressed in scary costumes & masks thrashing the f out of their guitars. Welcome to MOLCH who I saw last night and this morning bought their album. A cheery mix of doom, sludge, black metal and noise rock.

Here's a wee taste of SMOTE from their gig at the Lexington last night. Deafening, melodic, primeval, drone heavy and proggy are only a few words which describe this unique band.
