Looking for some proper scary Halloween reads? (Can be read at other times of the year, too!)

The autumn nights are drawing in. The perfect time to learn the truth about what really happened in Wintermoor ... if you dare.

Went to see Egger's Nosferatu. Probably his most accessible film. Sumptuously gothic and melodramatic. Creepy, bloody and beautiful. And with added moustache.

Poster for the film Nosferatu depicts a woman in a nightdress standing in front of a window. A large shadow lurks behind the billowing curtain.

Rewatched Revenge by Coralie Fargeat. Stylish and bloody exploitation film. And she followed it up with brilliant The Substance.

Ah. Just reminiscing about the Great Toilet Roll Rush of 2020.

Dan Smith @dansmithauthor.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Opinion is divided on this one, but I like it. For me it's an interesting take on a favourite genre. No music, static camera, over-the-shoulder, surprising, direct and, at times, gnarly. I'll be watching again.

Watched BIG GAME on Netflix last night. Silly, action-packed fun. And, guess what? I wrote the book, y'know.
