Oh, this is going to be SOOOO good 👇

Just don't let them see your Dead Ink tattoo! In all seriousness though, we helped facilitate this and are super happy for Lucie. Night Babies is incredible and you are all going to love it.

With apologies for dropping a massive photo of my face on your timelines, I have news! My new novel, Night Babies will be out with John Murray in spring next year (although there will always be a place in my horrid black heart for @deadinkbooks.bsky.social 🖤) www.thebookseller.com/rights/lucie...

New short story just dropped in one of my favourite literary journals, The Lonely Crowd 💙

I’m thrilled to be a part of this magnificent line-up for new horror festival, Horror in the Howgills. Check out the link below for more info…

I am Master of Ceremonies at a new horror fest, HORROR IN THE HOGWILLS at Sedbergh, England's Booktown at Midsummer! Featuring Andrew Michael Hurley, Lucie McKnight Hardy, Priya SHarma, Robin Ince and many more! Tickets available from 8th February. www.trybooking.com/uk/events/la...

What a generous and considerate review this is from @davemusson.bsky.social - thank you so much, I'm delighted that people are still enjoying this horrible little monster of mine.

It’s happening.

Really tempted to do a deep annotated version of A MAN AT WAR. Be good to have two versions of it out there, one for the nerds who want to know *everything* and those who just want to read a rather good work of fiction. Anyhoo, it's my best work of fiction and you can order it from the link below.

I like this idea, and recommend this dark but delicious book.

Scary stuff coming your way...

Those who read our books, in particular our hardbacks, will know that we like to hide different artwork underneath the jacket on the boards. I was just having a look at some photos showing both jacket and board art. I'll post a few in the thread below. CURFEW by Lucy M. Boston (2011)

Just caught sight of myself in the mirror: long skirt, boots, jumper, three cardigans, two scarves, fingerless gloves. Total Victorian bag lady chic.

It’s so cold, there’s a queue for a turn on the radiator

I’d booked myself onto an untutored writing retreat at the wonderful Moniack Mhor in the Highlands for mid-January, but am now unable to attend. If anyone’s interested in taking my place, you can book online at the link in the comments below. All their other retreats are fully booked until May!

Event curator WLTM writers, folklorists, academics with a professional interest in THE UNCANNY for potential virtual event appearance on 18 January. Would esp. love to hear from someone with a psychiatry background who could speak to the neurological aspects of the uncanny. Suggestions, please!

Naming no names, but here’s a gentle reminder - to *anyone who might need it* - of the official, legally enforced size limits for the eight standard literary formats

Kids, please don’t do this, when you know the Kindle version is only £3.99. It demeans you.
