What’s that you say? Liz has a new book out which even the Telegraph is saying is even more unhinged than the last one? Wonderful, I’ll post this then.

I honestly believe that after receiving a political awakening from Baby in Dirty Dancing, a radicalised Johnny Castle eventually evolved into Bodhi in Point Break almost 30 years later.

Wednesday! Do come along! www.ticketsource.com/theberwynboo...

Why am I talking about Scratch Moss again so soon!? Cause it was freaking amazing and you should read it. An absolutely brilliant piece of literature period, the fact that it has an eldritch horror is just a bonus. #booksky 📚💙 📚🩸

Can someone please share with me the arcane secret knowledge of taking a photo of the moon with an iphone that makes it look like the moon and not the sun.

Great article on horror in the Observer, by the Withered Hill Quartet author @davidmbarnett.bsky.social, so he really knows his onions, & namechecks Big Jim from @gnofhorror.com along the way, with alot of cool chat & recommendations, many of which I have reviewed. observer.co.uk/culture/book...

Last night went to see GHOSTS: THE POSSESSION OF BUTTON HOUSE and once you get over the weird feeling of watching something from the telly at the pictures, it's absolutely gorgeous and full of heart and soul.

All this talk of "Be Ready" and prepping and not once has the government advised making sure you have enough books in to last out a long emergency. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Genuinely beginning to suspect the "Nazis were socialists" thing is a secret deep state way of identifying the people who are going to go on the equivalent of Golgafrincham Ark B.

Nobody told the cats we were getting an extra hour in bed, evidently.

Hi, my name is David Barnett, author of highly-acclaimed folk horror novels, and here's my feel-good Christmas rom-com I also wrote. www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Chris...

For this week's Observer, by me: observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

It's not so much the resilience and prepping advice from the government that worries me, it's the fact that they're now arming traffic wardens.

I know the smart kids - and an increasing number of well-established creators - use crowdfunding to get their comics out these days. But I feel I don't have the expertise, know-how or time to run a campaign. I just want people to pay me to write comics. Is that an increasingly outmoded attitude now?

The clocks go back this weekend. Knew I shouldn't have bought so many. Glad I kept the receipts.

Me old mucker Paul Van Doodson has an absolute banger of a song out, I CAN'T GO TO HELL open.spotify.com/track/6DHbKp...

On #CelebrityTraitorsUncloaked last night Ed Gamble suggested Jerry, Romesh and Rob should do a podcast together and all I can think is it should be called J.R.R. Talkin'. They don't even have to talk about Lord of the Rings or anything. But they could. #CelebrityTraitors

The big question for this rather moist and blustery Friday is, are we feeling more "Deep Sea" or "Captain" today?

I suppose I should tell you again that my working class, mining community folk horror SCRATCH MOSS is still 99p on ebook (Amazon Kindle link for ease but available at the same price from all the usual ebook purveyors). www.amazon.co.uk/Scratch-Moss...

#booksky 📚💙 📚🩸 @davidmbarnett.bsky.social wrote a truly excellent horror story with Scratch Moss, one of greed, change, and sacrifice where the eldritch horror may not be the scariest thing in the book! Highly, highly recommend this one!

Up and at 'em! This Wednesday will not wring all the joy and potential from itself, you know!
