@manylittlewords.bsky.social Hello my friend, I was just wondering if you will be having a new, wonderful Christmas story this year?
December 1, 2025 at 8:03 AM
I regret to inform you all that yes, I have written another bloody book, and it's out in February from @daturabooks.bsky.social just in time for Valentines, and it is most definitely NOT a love story. Preorder it right away, I don't make the rules.

I've had 3 stories edited by Samantha Kolesnik, which makes them special. Those anthologies went out of print years ago.

But thanks to @datlow.bsky.social @manylittlewords.bsky.social & @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social, the stories are back in new books 🖤 hopefully Sam's novellas will follow someday.

This morning I was interviewed by Radio 2 about my favourite scary novel for a Halloween special on their bookclub segment and this evening I'm in Cheltenham for another booklaunch event for ITCH! and someone pinch me this is my life now 🙏🥰

Last night I celebrated the UK launch of ITCH! in my beautiful city of Bristol, at Stanford's, a place I've haunted for years as a reader. Surreal and brilliant to be there as a published author and to speak in front of friends and family.

My son was in attendance, which meant everything to me. 🥰
