Simon "Si Spurrier" Spurrier

I'm only writing a bloody novel. Here's what it's about. I want you to come along for the ride. Er, read. First chapter available in text or audio at patreon.com/sispurrier. Come walk the labyrinth with me.

The Voices Said Kill by Si Spurrier & Vanessa Del Rey is weirdly wonderful and not really what I expected. The story takes some unexpected turns and the art is unusual but beautiful (especially John Starr's colours) - really recommend this if you like crime comics.

Instantly jumps to the top of my Want Now list.

Among many brilliant points (espesh re: Gnosticism and proto-paranoid conspiracy), I love how big-heartedly this treats folks who've gone down the rabbit hole. It's not that they're nuts, it's that their credulity is a rational response to a catastrophic loss of trust in institutional hegemony.

Coming to this very late, but this interview really should be required listening for anyone even remotely interested in the intersection of occultism, conspiracy and politics. Absolutely brilliant. novaramedia.com/2020/08/13/m...

Oh well DONE Brazil. I mean, way to keep us on tenterhooks, good joke etc etc, but collective choke of relief and pride over here.

You can read or listen to this goddam thing in serialized form at the link in my bio.

It's all going so f***ing well. 😬 (Patreon.com/sispurrier)

Issue 1 of the Cyberpunk 2077 series I've written is out today!

The fourth chapter of ASTERION, my serialized novel about mythology, monstrosity and a differently-minded child, is now live. This is a much longer episode than those that have come before. With some - trigger warning - grisly goodies. www.patreon.com/SiSpurrier/p...

You know what, I think we can also afford a little redux of this breath-tingling beauty, now that #NYCC's in the rearview. Here's Catherine Rooney performing the opening of ASTERION, my serialized novel about the magical child misremembered as the Minotaur. youtu.be/_TehGqnDmLc

As part of the broader tapestry surrounding my serialized novel ASTERION, I've begun a miniseries of recordings about the historicity of the Minoans and the bronze age Med. History as backdrop for myth; nerd heaven. All at patreon.com/sispurrier

Just over a week till the release of The Forever Home #2, the reprint of Forever Home #1 by me and @sami-kivela.bsky.social and The Patron #3 by me and @johnjpearson.bsky.social on October 21st

I wrote 6 different takes on a sarcastic gag of the form "it sure is great that the marginalised side of this debate is finally getting some screentime", but kept getting halfway through before shouting OH FUCK OFF and retiring to rant and spit. OH FUCK OFF. www.thenational.scot/news/2663137...

⚔️ King Arthur like you've never seen him before! @chriscoplan.bsky.social talks with @sispurrier.bsky.social about Rampant Swine, his brutal Arthurian remix with @christophermitten.bsky.social, exploring the myths behind the legend, morally questionable heroes, and giant boars!

‘Minotaur’ #3 rings the bell for a massive story about humankind’s future and glory @sispurrier.bsky.social @ignitionpress.bsky.social #comicsky Read @chriscoplan.bsky.social's review:

🤖🐯 @sispurrier.bsky.social gets weird with MINOTAUR! Ahead of issue #3, Spurrier talks with @chriscoplan.bsky.social about AI, humanity’s obsession with powerful tools, Gloria Monday’s uncertain future, the series’ “case of the week” structure, and what’s ahead. Headless lizard-chickens, anyone? 👀
