UK-based low income peeps: haven't snagged one in a while, and thought they might have stopped, but Lidl are still doing their 'preposterous amounts of fruit and veg for £1.50' boxes, on the packing shelf behind the tills.

Maybe it's called a corpse flower because that's a dead ballerina stuffed in a bucket.

Lilith and the Night God- 2023

Sacrificial Animals is just OUTSTANDING, you need to read it 🖤

Me reading HOUSE OF LEAVES

So relieved about this, in a near endless barrage of terrible news

It is unconscionable and immoral for the world to allow this horror to take place.  2.2 million people are trapped with no food, water, aid, medicine, and baby formula.  This genocide must end and we must stop being complicit in the mass slaughter of babies and civilians.

Tuesday evening reminder: Write the book. Make the zine. Pack the shelves. Fill the world with so many stories they'll never be able to silence us all.

I don't even know what to say... why are they "threatening????" IMPOSE THE FUCKING SANCTIONS.

my friend yaya covered the disgraceful telegraph billboard 🥰

Let's help Ahmed reach his goal 🖤

There's nothing like the RUSH of reading the book you wrote in some sort of fever haze last summer and realising: this is actually good, this is what I wanted to say, and also, it has piranhas.

Happy birthday to my lovely father! A giant of a human being, he's 87 today. For his birthday I've donated to Crips For E-Sims For Gaza 🇵🇸

This may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we COULD ask Mothra for help

Moving this up to the top so I can find the bastard whenever my brain DEIGNS to read another book

Today I've been reading THE NEEDFIRE by @mkhardywrites.com which is out on 31 July from @solarisbooks.bsky.social. More from me soon but this is SUCH a gothic, witchy, uncanny treat - a Rebecca for the Highlands and border places.

Spent yesterday learning how to format, cover design and self-publish on KDP. For those old short stories that are scattered to the winds. Maybe a series of micro-collections? Yes, really.

Time to prepare, beloveds. If you are considering stocking up, remember that these pills do expire eventually, and *do not* discuss your actions online or via unencrypted communication. Take no shit, and leave no trace. www.plancpills.org

No one reads anymore. No one makes money doing this. And none of it is real. Come join the mass delusion of creative writing with us

Sometimes, the world gives us beautiful examples of why copy editors are necessary.

everyone even mildly into polar exploration knows how badly vitamin A can fuck you up, and seeing the Health Secretary of the US recommend megadoses to measles patients made me so mad i wrote about it. im so angry at this malthusian ghoul buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Hi! I hand paint colourful, pulpy real human art for horror book covers! I'm reasonably priced, quick and very approachable. Have worked closely with a ton of indie authors. Wraparound and text etc all included. Original art included too. COMMISSIONS OPEN: gemmaamorauthor.com/illustration...

Hi everyone! If you've just found me from @talkscaredpod.bsky.social, I'm Ally (she/they) and I'm a British horror author. You can check out my website (WIP) at allywilkes.com or follow me here / at insta (av_wilkes). If you like vintage exploration horror, you are DEFINITELY in the right place 🖤

Still can't BELIEVE I got to do an event with Michelle Paver (and @talkscaredpod.bsky.social). We chat about whether we write horror (me: yes), weird research, and two different facets of Algernon Blackwood.

In a moment of sheer British early summer madness, I've just put my duvet in the wash. pray for me.

Doesn't this look weird and lush? Just ordered my copy 🌞

It's a witchy sunshine sort of vibe 🌞
