Well, I did in fact pre-order, back in May, for pick-up at Fantasycon. I love that I'm that organised, I just wish I was organised enough to have written myself a note that I'd done it....

If you've read The Shape of Monsters and have the time to drop a rating or even a brief review on whatever place takes your fancy, the algorithm would really appreciate it. I mean I would really appreciate it, but I work for the algorithm, unfortunately.

I share this because sometimes a jolt of pure rage is quite invigorating and it will cleanse out your lymphatic vessels … anyway here is a slopmonger selling a "translation" of WUTHERING HEIGHTS into "modern English" to make it "actually readable."

Wuthering Heights: In Modern English (The Actually Readable Classics)
by Emily Brontë (Author), Avery Frost (Translator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (1,151)
3.9 on Goodreads

WUTHERING HEIGHTS IN MODERN ENGLISH

Yes, it’s that book. The one everyone says you should read. The original toxic love story that spawned entire genres of dark romance.

Here’s the thing: Wuthering Heights is unhinged, devastating, and has been absolutely wrecking readers for 175 years. It’s a masterpiece.

The Victorian prose, though? That’s the part that makes it feel like homework.

This edition fixes that.

Same gothic moors. Same obsessive passion. Same “wait, did that just happen?” moments. Just in language that doesn’t require you to stop and decode every other sentence.

What’s different: The prose. That’s it.

No scenes cut. No plot watered down. No study guide summary. Every chapter, every character, every devastating moment, just written so you can actually experience why this book has been breaking hearts since 1847.

You get the full story without “hitherto,” “countenance,” and sentences that take three reads to figure out. You get Brontë’s genius without the barrier.

Still Wuthering Heights. Just readable.

Thanks for all the kind words about the book. The Curious Second Life of Jewel Graham is a very different one for me. My publisher talks about it in terms of Tim Burton, so don't expect Sandman Slim!

Authors (if you really do exist) please don't send obviously written AI pitches that go into weird detail about a previous guest and the awkwardly try and fit that to your pitch to be on the show. It's so, so obvious and we will never, ever take a guest that does this.

StephenCox Wiz-4 "funny raunchy romantic, satisfyingly twisted" @stephencoxauthor.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I love Top Tips For Loving a Lizard in Wiz-4 (preorder now, published at #Fantasycon) @wtpress.bsky.social "it just sings to me. “Joy joy joy”, it trills. “We can have good things.” I have written lots of m-m relationships, but this one really goes big. #books stephencox.co.uk/the-story-of...

The cover of Wiz-4 a novella anthology from Wizards Tower Press
The book shows the two novellas by dividing the cover into two triangles the line being top left to bottom right corners.
Left is Top Tips for Loving a Lizard. It shows a jolly green Godzilla holding a smaller ginger King Kong, with a big red heart. There’s a definite more than best friends vibe.
Right is Marooned off Ceres which shows a red moon, a space turtle and a female astronaut who is black. It’s not framed to feel like a threat.
