The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre by @pfracassi.bsky.social is a fast paced thriller/slasher with a fabulous final girl who proves age is no barrier to defeating evil. Lots to love about this book. I enjoyed it immensely. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘All the Sinners Bleed’ by SA Cosby @blacktopkid.bsky.social is a riveting read. I could not put it down. I love all of Cosby’s work and this one is my new favourite. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Get yourselves to a cinema immediately. Sinners has an incredible soundtrack and the cast deliver outstanding performances. I loved this film! (and please stay for the credits)

I’d heard so many great things about Whalefall by @danielkraus.com and the book still exceeded all expectations. There are so many layers to the story that I went from screaming to crying and back again several times over. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Five gold stars!!

I know I’m late to the table (again) but discovering the work of Graham Joyce is so exciting. What a gem!

Horror Movie by @paultremblay.bsky.social is a five star read and a masterclass in storytelling. Warning: Tremblay’s characters will get inside your head and stay there… but to be fair, you’ll keep on turning the pages, allowing the horror in. This is why I love Tremblay’s work so much.

Up next from my ‘I can’t believe I haven’t read this’ classics pile - The Gormenghast Trilogy. This might take a while…

Just finished Black River Orchard by @chuckwendig.bsky.social
It’s a ripper read! ⭐️🍏⭐️🍎⭐️🍏⭐️🍎⭐️ Chuck rules!

And in I go. Should I be eating an apple? Let’s find out…

Pretty excited to have a story in Midnight Echo # 18 edited by J.S Breukelaar. Just look at that gorgeous cover by Meg Wright. Stay tuned for pub day deets.

Strange Tales of Terror (Ed Eugene Johnson) published by Cemetery Dance is out in December and has my story ‘Bluebells’ in it. Cover artwork is by the extraordinarily talented Luke Spooner.

Perfect way to spend Saturday!

Obligatory cat pic!
