author of horrible things. One part John Steinbeck, two parts R.L. Stine.
my latest book is MARGINAL (Titan Books)... think of it like THE SUBSTANCE for people who read too many productivity books

I'm as open to a long sentence as the next man, but "during winter break from Bennington at a casual dinner with a few friends at La Scala Boutique in Beverley Hills in the months preceding Ron Levin's murder at the hands of BBC's security director that Joe ordered" is far too long a clause

It's just not Christmas without a piece of meat so massive that it's named after a Norse God's tool

Oh you read it! Thanks so much for buying a copy, and actually reading it: I'm truly grateful.

This post brought to you by Lottie Hazell's PIGLET, a messy girl lit fic novel which also came out in hardback recently and is on every table in every bookshop everywhere.
FWIW I've not read it - I'm sure it's great - but how can one book come to be pushed so heavily in shops and another buried?

Delighted to announce I've got another book due out later this year. It's a bloody, unhinged romp through the Scottish Highlands, centred on a commune with something truly dreadful growing in the margins. Pre-orders go live soon - if you enjoyed BLIGHT then you won't want to miss MARGINAL.

Tried reading this at eighteen and it was totally lost on me. It's fair to say that at thirty-six, having just published a divisive first novel, it may be the perfect thing to read.
