It's Walpurgisnacht, better known as International Johannes Cabal Appreciation Day, the global holiday when children in black suits and blue sunglasses turn up on every doorstep and demand the household's esoteric tomes at gunpoint.

How will YOU celebrate this important day?

See a knight, post a knight.

(This does not happen in canon. I just wanted to draw something silly for Bunny Day.)

Since this is doing well, I guess I'll post my commission pricing page?

It's #selfpromosaturday, you say? Very well, despite being famously modest about my amazing work and shy of showcasing my brilliant projects, I shall do my best (info in the alt text). There's other stuff I'm working on, but these are available now or shortly.

Run, you fools! Run!

Or... buy this book. Actually, that sounds less exhausting, doesn't it? Just buy the book, I think. It contains a story by me about some bod called "Johannes Cabal" who does stuff for the best part of 5000 words before stopping.

No, I'm not very good at promoting my work.

Finished reading "The Fall of the House of Cabal" in May and had wanted to do up some fanart of Johannes and Horst. #johannescabal #fanart

not only does The Shadow on the Glass by @jonathanlhoward.bsky.social have a cool story and characters, its use of Victorian-era words and phrases is top notch

A German gentleman of my acquaintance wishes you all a lovely Walpurgisnacht.

Actually, no, he doesn't. He wants you all to shut up and stay out of his way while he's working, but when he finishes working, he still wants you all to shut up and stay out of his way.

Happy Walpurgisnacht!

Reminder to new users here:

The iconic version of the Doctor's sonic screwdriver as used by Jon Pertwee was built from two Gerry Anderson props, the shaft being a "hero" prop tool from the movie THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO! (1966) and the dish at the top being a communicator from CAPTAIN SCARLET (1968).

Shenanigans are unveiled: so here's what I've been doing for @aconytebooks.bsky.social. Pretty sure I've got at least one "eldritch" in here, but no "cyclopean"s, and -- despite my best efforts -- no opportunity for a "rugose" presented itself. Still, anything can happen during edits.

Don't mind if I do. It's a CALL OF CTHULHU title, specifically CTHULHU BY GASLIGHT. It involves fake séances, fake séances that turn out rather more real than anticipated, cosmic horror, Australians, inhuman monstrosities, Chiswick, human monstrosities, and all lit by the cheery glow of gas mantles.
TELL BLUESKY MORE ABOUT YOUR BOOK PLEASE!
Me too. (It doesn't help that my book goes into the 1950s drought and why so few noticed it.)

The GOON SQUAD books are well worth your time; they're about a group of Mancunian heroes tasked with protecting their city, like THE SUICIDE SQUAD meets SLOW HORSES.
It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is "great," so here's a bit from GOON SQUAD in the aftermath of Nadiya and Ian returning after partaking in an entirely gratuitous brawl in a night club with a gang calling themselves "The Sandmen" when they were *supposed* to be doing detective work.

Anyway! This is a good weekend to hide from family, maybe, and quietly read a book on your phone, right? THE APPLE-TREE THRONE is about a young soldier back from war haunted by a deeply unwanted ghost. But friendship saves the day! Kinda. (It's complicated.)
