This book, by Benjamin Sobieck, is not only a research goldmine but also a very interesting read. Highly recommended. It was thanks to a post by @reganmacarthur.bsky.social that I found out about it, so the lesson is - follow indie authors!

One benefit of working from home is that I get to make (or attempt to make) lunches like this with my four-year-old. Admittedly she was only interested in the 'stringy, stretchy cheese' but it's a start, and she got involved which was good. #gnocchiallasorrentina

I don't think anyone does humour in crime fiction and noir quite like the French, and this short novel, by Frederic Dard, from 1956 is no exception.

Two websites and associated logins, a waiting room and now a queue in which there are more than 30,000 people in front of me, all to just have the opportunity to see what tickets are available. Trying to go to a gig is ridiculous. Let alone these "pre-sale" shenanigans.

I have a book coming out on Friday, February 21st. It's my tribute to the golden age of horror short story writing of the 20th century. Fake ghost hunters, haunted children, thieves on the make. Inspired by eerie radio horror and classic anthology series. I'd love for you to read it. Link below.

If you're reading this and haven't bought it, then you deserve to be paraded around town and have people shout "Shame" at you.

A very happy pub day to Marek Turner and his collection of comic crime stories, Born to Lose! Crime really doesn't pay, at least not for Gigi. But dang if it doesn't entertain us!

European crime-comedy at its finest. OK, they're my words but pick up a copy and decide for yourself. What's that? Netflix is on the line. Hang on a minute. Pronto. #crimefiction #eurocrime

Matt is a great guy and very knowledgeable about horror, so check out his non-fiction work. Unless you're a stooge of The Vatican, then maybe give it a swerve.

It took a minute, folks, but Frenzi: Florida Guns is now on Kobo! A good read for the winter blues because it is a warm treat. Warm as in a hot, bloody mess. John Frenzi is on the loose in Miami. They don't have nearly enough bodybags. www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...
