I had blast tonight reading my short story The Yellow Raincoat to a live audience at Twisted Fiction at the iconic Shakespeare Hotel. Huge thanks to JS Breukelaar for curating the evening. There was some seriously high-calibre spoken word storytelling. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

saw an ad in my feed for an Ai app geared towards fiction writers. First of all, f*** off. Second of all, congratulations on developing something that no fiction writer wants or asked for. Pressing a button and having a machine spit out a story for you is not art or expression. Please stop.

REMEDY Is the latest novel by multi-award-winning, ex-pat Australian author, @jsbreukelaar.bsky.social . Imaginative, evocative, and sumptuously written. Well worth your reading.

Just a reminder to any author friends to include notices for “No AI training” on your copyright pages. We’ve all seen the news about Meta’s massive AI training book heist. Let’s hope those affected band together and create a class action.

I can’t believe I waited this long to see MANDY, the 2018 film directed by Panos Cosmatos and starring Nicholas Cage. What a trip! This film *was* like a cross between an acid trip and a heavy-metal video. I recommend it. It’s FANTASMA-GORE-IA.

Is there anything more terrifying than vastness of space? Between the lack of air, the radiation, and freezing temperatures, no other environment is more hostile. Kudos to Pauline Yates for authoring such a rip-snorting novel. It’s a snappy read and it packs a punch. books2read.com/PYates-Shatt...

Set amid corn rows in whistle-stop America, PEARL is the story of a naïve girl, living an insular life on her parents’ farm. More than anything, Pearl dreams of becoming a star. This film is brilliant! an interesting blend between horror and nostalgia #pearlfilm #horroraddict
