Got it! And signed by the author too. Now it’s just waiting for a rainy day sitting by a window with a nice bottle of red.

I was so right. The Devil by Name was even better than Fever House! If you miss out on reading this duology you’ll kick yourself. It’s an emotional rollercoaster wrapped in an action packed horror story.

There is hope for the future
There was an article in The Guardian a few weeks back about how Gen Z find bookshops preferable to online shopping, and a key factor was that an algorithm will offer you 6000 books identical to the one you just finished whereas a bookseller will offer you three that are different but meet the vibe.

Pass the OT Bill for goods and services, boycott all Israeli products and services, and boycott anyone who continues to trade with them, ban them from international sports. Israel are pariahs, they are carrying out a massacre, a protracted, vicious extermination of Palestinian people.
Gaza resembles "something out of a Mad Max movie", with lawlessness on the streets and amputations carried out on children daily, an Irish surgeon who left Palestinian territory this week has said

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

Dear #speirgorm
Please pressure your politicians. The way they are acting after the IPAS housing was burnt by a racist is how America got Trump.
Trust me, you don't want to go that route.
Yes, you have so many immigrants right now.
You're better than Brits & MAGA.
I BELEIVE IN YOU!

Finally got to read Stone & Sky by @benaaronovitch.bluesy.social. A real treat. Witty, thought provoking, and a really good whodunnit too! What more could you ask for? (Okay a bar of fruit and nut chocolate to eat while you read but come on…).

I’m a rural voter. Don’t lump me in with this cruel shite. And just because something has been going on for hundreds of years, doesn’t make it right. Or should we go back to the good old days of child labour, enslaved women, Ireland as a colony or maybe right back to the divine right of kings?
🗣️ “If a fox is being ripped limb from limb and is dying a slow and agonising death - how can you say you abhor animal cruelty?”
🗣️ “These are rural pursuits and have been for many, many years.”

“Rural pursuits” - what a noxious phrase and an insult to the majority of people who live in rural areas.
What other rural pursuits does she support? Destroying hedgerows, polluting rivers, poisoning raptors…?

Just finished @sgj.bsky.social ‘s The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. An absolute classic. Believe me they will be teaching courses on the content and literary quality of this novel for decades.
If @mikeflanaganfilm.com isn’t already planning the TV series it’ll be a major missed opportunity for all of us

Almost midnight in Kyiv.
Calm.
We have power, water.
Drops of rain gently sing a lullaby
to those who didn’t sleep last night.
Please, don’t take for granted
the quiet treasures you have –
power, water, windows, a roof.

Talking Scared is live! I absolutely loved this conversation with Neil about The October Film Haunt, cursed media, cursed (in a different way) social media, and other fascinating, insightful, and fun topics.
Get ready for one of the more unnerving episodes of Talking Scared.
I’m joined by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social to discuss THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT - analog horror, digital demons, occult rituals and films that aren’t safe. It’s a whole fun thing, but you’ve been warned.
