Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Having watched the video, I can confirm that Trump and Vance are human garbage. I sincerely hope he takes up the offer and comes on another tour of the UK, so we can come out in our millions and show him what disrespect actually looks like. www.theguardian.com/us-news/vide...

The physical award for the British Fantasy Award for Best Non-Fiction 2024 turned up the other day. Still seems somehow unreal. Looks nice on the wall, though.

Okay, quick survey: what are your favourite fantasy novels of all time? Thoroughbred fantasy only, please (no horror or SF!)

Some photos from our epic Tyranids v. Ultramarines battle on the Mining Facility table at Warhammer World. Partly because the table was amazing, but mainly because various strangers stopped to take photos and I don't want those to be the only ones out there. #warhammer40k

Turns out you can now listen to me rambling about short stories on The Fantasy Writers' Toolshed, available via most podcast providers (I'll drop the Spotify link in the comments). We talk about slush piles, common pitfalls, the Uncanny, and so much else besides. Thanks to Richie for inviting me!

If you're nominating for things, here's a reminder of what I did last year. If you're not, it's still a reminder, just you're probably not sure what to do with the information. Maybe buy a copy?

Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers. They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.

Got my copy of And One Day We Will Die, the anthology inspired by the songs of Neutral Milk Hotel! Such a fantastic design (and it matches my gatefold LP!) It includes my story 'Terminus', inspired by 'Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2' and strangely entangled with Tim Major's story 'Transmission'.

HEARTWOOD: A MYTHAGO WOOD ANTHOLOGY has made the BSFA Awards longlist! It's up for Best Collection (which includes anthologies here). I'm hugely proud of this book - it was a genuine labour of love and I think it might be the best thing I've done. bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

I've been goated! Happy Goat Horror have just shared this interview I did recently with Kayleigh Dobbs, chatting about folk horror, anthologies, Mythago Wood, and anything else that came to mind. A really good conversation, and some great questions. Enjoy! #Horror youtu.be/T0uX3wxnr2w?...

A candid shot from our Waterstones Islington event last night, with contributors from Writing the Uncanny, Writing the Future, and Writing the Murder (out now, @deadinkbooks.bsky.social). Great conversations all round, both during and after the panel! (Thanks Phil Sloman for the photo!)

Feeling stressed and nervous ahead of Cheeto's inauguration. All the signs (and his rally yesterday) point to military mobilisation on US soil (against the cartels? Immigrants? Who knows?) and a sustained campaign against transgender rights, plus who knows what else. Stay safe, American friends.

Looks like there are only a couple of tickets left for this event in #London next week. Join us on Wednesday 22nd for a discussion of how and why we write genre fiction, with @robertshearman.bsky.social, Aliya Whiteley and @barryf48.bsky.social! www.waterstones.com/events/writi...

Ah crap. RIP David Lynch. A wonderful filmmaker and a true original. His visions have inspired me since I was in my teens.

I'm loving the fact that every failed Nineties band is now reforming and going back on tour to relive their five minutes of glory. Secretly hoping for revived interest in my teenage Burroughs pastiches any day now.

OUT TODAY! I have a strange story in this, based on 'Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2', alongside a weirdly conjoined story by @timjmajor.bsky.social. Whether you love Neutral Milk Hotel or just love strange fiction, editor @patrickbarb.bsky.social has produced a holy spectacle. Get your hands on it!

Holy cow. Lost in the Garden won Best Fiction at the Nero Book Awards last night! It's fantastic and deeply weird - if you haven't read it, I pretty much guarantee you'll love it. Congratulations to @adamsleslie.bsky.social and @deadinkbooks.bsky.social. nerobookawards.com/category-win...

Fantastic review of And One Day We Will Die, out tomorrow! In which I have a curious story that is spuriously entangled with a tale by Tim Major. Editor @patrickbarb.bsky.social has knocked this one out of the park.
