Genuinely surprised and delighted to discover that We Keep Our Own has made the top 100 for the Launch Pad Prose Writing Competition.

Proper chuffed.

I'm #writing while listing to #AntsFromUpThere by #BlackCountryNewRoad. Likely my favourite album of the 21st Century.

Show me the place where he inserted the blade... Heartbroken all over again.

Just #watched #Together & it is easily the best body #horror #movie that I've seen in a good while.

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense, but Franco & Brie are engaging & believable, Shanks keeps things moving at a good clip, & the final third really delivers.

Just been for a walk... And the #StephenKing vibes are strong tonight....

I've recently upgraded my workstation - PC to Mac, and I've added a pair of KEF LSX II LTs... So now I'm #writing while listening to some Lana.

The culture is lit / And if this is it / I had a ball...

"In the gray twilight those retchings seemed to echo like the calls of some rude provisional species loosed upon that waste. Something imperfect and malformed lodged in the heart of being. A thing smirking deep in the eyes of grace itself like a gorgon in an autumn pool."

#StephenGrahamJones is one of my favourite writers & so, when I stumbled across this, I could not resist.

So I’m #reading #TheBabySitterLives alongside Tom’s Crossing (which is super long).

The storm has stilled leaving this: the city, etched against blue-grey skies.

This is #Manchester.

Just #watched #TheRunningMan & it really is good. It looks incredible & maintains a breathless pace whilst actually having something to say about the rise of authoritarianism & the complicity of the MSM.

& the performances from Powell, Brolin, and Domingo were top draw.

Just #watched #PredatorBadlands.

On the upside, it looks great, the creature effects are incredible (particularly the Predator(s)), & it is never boring.

On the downside, it's a story that I've seen many times before, & I'm not sure that chasing a 12 cert. serves this franchise well.

It’s a little overdue, but this arrived today - #TomsCrossing - and my most anticipated novel of the year.

Guess I now know what I’ll be doing this evening. Can’t wait to get stuck in.
