This map of London’s literary characters features three of mine: Lonely Werewolf Girl, Lux the Poet & Alby Starvation. Close to the large Hercule Poirot near the foot of the map in the centre. I’m pleased some of my characters are here. The illustrator’s site is at bit.ly/3Y1NDad

R.I.P. Soo Catwoman. I am so sorry to hear about this. Soo Catwoman (Susan Lucas) was such a notable figure, one of the most famous images of the whole punk era.

The Supercute Empire is under attack but Mox and Mitsu won't go down without a fight.

My first book, Milk, Sulphate and Alby Starvation, and my most recent book, Troubled Cities. Also a bottle of sweet potato shochu. I’ve not been feeling very inspired recently, it might help. #booksky

I wrote Simulation Bleed as a weekly serial. 'London, music, time travel, monsters, 1967- 77, therapy, swords, depression, alcohol, punk rock, gaming.'

My copy of New Rose, first single by the Damned. I remember buying this so well. I'd been buying records since I was twelve or so but when this came out everything else seemed quite old-fashioned. So R.I.P. Brian James, guitarist.

Curse of the Wolf Girl & the Anxiety of Kalix the Werewolf, books 2 and 3 in my werewolf trilogy. Curse of the Wolf Girl is a comic Kalix reads. The Anxiety of Kalix the Werewolf's title was inspired by The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, a Japanese light novel and anime series. #booksky

Lux and Alby Sign On and Save the Universe. These nine comics I wrote in 1991 have had a surprisingly long life. They were collected into a graphic novel in 1999 and I released a new edition in 2019 with the artist @simonfraser.bsky.social. We still sell this at Amazon. #booksky

'The Collected Martin Millar.' My publisher at the time, Fourth Estate, published this in 1998. I don't think they even consulted me about it. I didn't like the cover at first but it's grown on me over the years. #booksky

Excited to announce I've published a collection of #shortstories – the ones I couldn't use any more because they're previously published, been placed in competitions, or both.
Rainy Sunday? Stay indoors and read!

Lonely Werewolf Girl has been film-optioned for a few years now. Often that doesn't mean much - a producer buys the option then no film gets made. However, the option is with a credible company and it's possible it could happen. Here's Lonely Werewolf Girl with The Runaways, Kalix's favourite band.
