Hello Bluesky! I have a new book out for adults. It’s called DRAC IS BACK. It’s about Count Dracula accidentally ending up in an English seaside town and coming up against a gang of young offenders. Oh, and he controls the seagulls. Standard.

It’s Postman Planet Day! The response to it so far has been amazing and that’s in no small part due to the book’s editor Tierney allowing me to be as weird as I like! Check it out, or I’ll feed you to Fancy Kenneth x

Here’s something wild that happened last week: We ordered one of those Green Chef boxes but it never arrived. After checking the tracking, we saw it had been left in front of next door’s gate. It was quite late at this point, so when I went round and it wasn’t there, I didn’t knock the door.

Heard an American bloke saying ‘we don’t kill people for speech in this country.’ I mean, you do though, don’t you? You’re sort of notorious for it. You’ve got boulevards and federal holidays named after people you killed for speech. Proper people. Not just gobshites.
