Happy Friday, Gabino! A Fragile Thing is dark, gothic and spins a different take on Jack the Ripper. www.watertowerhill.com #booksky #FridayReads #gothic #horrorwritng #horror

A Fragile Thing cover is shown on the right with a blurb from Kev Harrison, author of Pyres and Shadow of the Hidden on the left.

"Ellis paints a picture of Victorian London so vivid you can almost smell the smog, and in Isaac Bercow, a man so driven by his thirst for power and control, you wonder if anything will remain of his fragile humanity.”

Just watched Sinners. It's very silly in places but I enjoyed it, and I have to say I've never identified with the vampire as much as in this movie.

I had to keep this one under wraps since April, but I'm overjoyed to announce my inclusion in @darkmoonbooks.bsky.social Horror Library Vol 9. I'll have more to say once the full author list is out, but I am incredibly honored to be included among an absolute banger list of horror icons.

In the Sunday Times today talking about Leonard and Hungry Paul, Julia Roberts and the whole business. @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social

Pic on the Sunday Times article mostly pitched at the unlikelihood of a civil servant on a small press getting Julia Roberts involved in the TV show of Leonard and Hungry Paul. (Spoiler alert: it's down to the fact that she liked the book.)

Just watched Jakob's Wife and loved it. Grubby American realism, cheap, old-fashioned, and brilliant. Imagine Hal Hartley made a vampire movie, or Buffy for the middle-aged.
