IT'S ME. Returning to my beloved Luna Press, who first opened the door to publishing for me. This book is one I am so proud of, guys, it's strange & hopeful & sad, and I'm so glad it gets to live 🖤

Penny keeps asking me whether you guys know that Atomic Coffin is officially out in the US and Canada in two days time ⚛️⚰️

Penny - the best calico cat in the world - stands next to the two versions of Atomic Coffin, she is very cute and looks up to the viewer with her smushy face and chunky paws

Book review of Atomic Coffin by Benedict Anning

Atomic Coffin combines the creeping dread of Cold War brinkmanship with the terrifying unknown of cosmic horror.

Happy Public Lands Day! All four of these images were taken on straight-up public land - not National Park, Monument or Wilderness. There's so much out there, and our formal protected categories by no means cover all the amazing places. #landscapephotography #publiclands #idaho #nevada #newmexico

Landscape photo of steep snowy mountains and tawny hills at sunset, with a complex pattern of dappled golden light mixed with shadow.

Photograph of two high desert peaks under an orange sunset sky. The larger peak in the distance wears a lenticular cloud on its summit. The closer one has sparse trees around its base, with steeper rock outcrops higher up. They are separated by a broad and empty yellow plain.

Vertical photograph of a landscape of very steep granite cliffs and crags, with just a tough of warm light on the highest formation.

Landscape photo overlooking a sparsely timbered valley in autumn, with warm low angle sunlight shining in from the upper right, illuminating green shrubs and red ground flora.
