I've been procrastinating on the right moment to share this, but the cover release and opening pre-orders might just be it.

AGENCY by me!

It's a cosmic horror about commercial landlords from nether-hell dimensions. #nonfiction #fnar

One for those 'most anticipated books of next year' lists. Allan on Priest on Ballard and everything in between.

A review! By a me! Of a very interesting book indeed.
You know how this works: I do a Bluesky, it's a review, you click.

This week's first piece is from none other than @chloroformtea.bsky.social, on Honeyeater by Kathleen Jennings (@torbooks.bsky.social). What emerges is a discussion of a novel that holds itself back. "Is it a weakness to be so coy?"

Half Price Engines Beneath Us and You Will Grow Into Them and other Influx goodies. And a very tangential excuse to repost this picture of my son's Halloween Lego house even though neither it nor the books have anything to do with Black Friday.

MAD SISTERS OF ESI is one of The Washington Post’s 10 best SFF novels of 2025. In the sheer amount of what gets published each year and what gets lost, this feels like a small, precious miracle ❤️

I'm incredibly excited that this is coming out next year. Translated by the brilliant María Pilar San Román and published by @obscuraed.bsky.social.

Los monstruos gobiernan las calles. O puede que lo que ocurra sea algo diferente.

When There Are Wolves Again is out in the UK today! I wrote something about the book, and keeping going, and some personal stuff I dithered over but, well, it's been A Year.

I'm so glad the book is out there and thank you so much to everyone who has supported it 🐺🤍

Like Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita? The Lady, The Tiger, and the Girl Who Loved Death weaves together magic, political spectacle, and the power of storytelling in a world where reality and illusion blur dangerously together. Out from @titanbooks.bsky.social now!

Thanks to @argonautbooks.bsky.social for sending M home with this one last month; she inhaled it this evening in the pub with a soundtrack of 90s and 00s Britpop, which was apparently "A++ vibes" for this unsettling little read.
Gottle of gears. Very happy that this one has had a new lease of life.

💙📚🩸 You will start & finish this in a day. It's equally chilling and heartfelt, immediately grabs you, and has much to say on reality and perception. An incredibly relevant, compelling, and scary book ⬇️
Just putting this here. Again.
