A slori. From my world of Seodan. Large and temperamental, though, with some training and a lot of patience can become a loyal steed. Great over rocky and uneven terrain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEnk...

@mfalfrey.bsky.social—known for his creepy crawlies & body horror novels—looks at what makes a creature truly fearsome, how you can create your own. It features the author’s own artwork, showing how he developed the monsters in his novel Silentium.

Here's a little cozy fantasy for y'all. Part 1 of a complete 4 part audio serial. Not much happens in Ensum. Which is how Edith likes it. So, when a mysterious stranger disrupts her quiet tavern with promises of fantastical, magical gifts, she’s none too happy about it. mfalfrey.com/all-is-in-th...

It's that time of the month when I should really mention my books... I've been too busy to do any promo so far in March (and yes, the book sales have suffered for it!)!

But if you're enjoying the (excellent) new season of Wheel of Time, you might like these...

🛸 An epic space adventure with a side of chaos 🛸
If you loved the eccentric humour of Hitchhiker’s Guide, the offbeat charm of The Orville, and the quirky world-building of Discworld, then May Contain Space Pirates is your next obsession.

It's still winter ... which means it's still cold and icy - the perfect time to read my sci-fi body horror Silentium. Go old-school and read under the covers by torch light. It's the only way to stay safe ... Watch the trailer here: mfalfrey.com/works-2/
