I really really liked Nadia Latif's disquieting, uncanny THE MAN IN MY BASEMENT. Very Aickman-esque - mundane and deeply Weird, and with two absolutely fantastic central performances.
It's on Disney + and well worth your time.

Well, I've been on this solo retreat now for three days and I've managed to write over 10,000 words which feels amazing.
The novel is now at 50k, and I'm not near the end at all yet, but I'm over halfway, and at 50k words, this thing is now legitimately a novel, which is something to be proud of.

Why not pre-order his debut multiversal London fantasy novel from @titanbooks.bsky.social LIGHTHOUSE AT THE END OF THE WORLD? It's the Mark Fisher/VE Schwab mashup you never knew you needed.
