Extraordinary mini-reviews of recent Nightjar stories can be read & enjoyed chez @mattcolbeck.bsky.social – the concision & intelligence of his reviewing are matched by his boundless enthusiasm. He is a wonderful champion & advocate of the uncanny short story.

We don’t get poetry at Nightjar, but as with any rule, there are exceptions, eg @profdavidmorley.bsky.social’s ‘Beethoven’s Yellowhammer’, in @thetls.bsky.social on 18 Oct, fittingly, for its mention of the ‘Satanic Nightjar’, adjacent to @reece-shearsmith.bsky.social on Robert Aickman’s letters.
