I just gave full vent to my Bigfoot obsession in an episode with @giano.bsky.social. His novel, AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY is all about my big, hairy friend and i'm not even apologetic for getting nerdy. You can hear us howl in the woods soon. American Mythology is out July 15th.

New Patreon stuff. Here are my unvarnished thoughts on the books I read back in May. Highs and lows in all things.

You write a thing with your whole heart - and when someone likes it... oh the feeling.

After all the dogs walks that inspired it, and all the late nights spent writing it, my debut novella GOOD BOY now exists as a physical object! It's out October 9th from @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social and available for worldwide pre-order at www.wildhuntbooks.co.uk/books/p/good...

My latest guest is @blacktopkid.bsky.social - discussing KING OF ASHES and the righteous violence that runs like a lethal current through all of his work. It's a top-5 episode for sure! All podcast platforms.

Really good interview with Caroline on the @talkscaredpod.bsky.social podcast

Well, I dont normally do true crime books but when @talkscaredpod.bsky.social describes Caroline Fraser’s new one as “Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring meets Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood” you have to sit up and listen.

Best picture from #StokerCon Neil McRobert throwing a football with the WWE headquarters in the background (and Sweet Caroline playing). @talkscaredpod.bsky.social Not pictured, @scribeofhades.bsky.social who has an 8/10 arm and 9/10 accuracy.

The latest episode is a tour through history with V.E. Schwab. Her new novel, BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL is an epic of monsters and amorality, human and otherwise. We cover a LOT!! All podcast places...

I’m excited for StokerCon but right now it does kinda feel like I’m boarding a flight right into the Battle of Pelennor Fields.

Good books and sleepy dogs. @manylittlewords.bsky.social’s ITCH is the parasitical-body-folk-horror nightmare that you need in your life this October. It will make you worry about every tickle and pinch.

Episode recorded with @blacktopkid.bsky.social and i'm telling you straight - it's an all timer. One of the best conversations ever hosted on the pod.

Looking back over my recent English language reading, I think I really must give a shoutout to Talking Scared podcast @talkscaredpod.bsky.social because it's all basically stuff Neil has talked about. Trust Neil. He's got good taste.

Just been reading up on the Boundless/Unbound fiasco and it's telling that their angel investor is an expert in "AI, longevity science and venture capital." Sounds like someone who really has his pulse on the meaning and value of art.
