Dominic Nolan @dominicnolan.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Things I was afraid of as a child: — the toppled AIDS monolith and John Hurt telling me it would kill us all — a pennant of blythely psychotic Muppet Grover, eyes following me wherever I went. Even when turned to face the walk, his eyes remained visible, still following me. — Mr Noseybonk 021

Dominic Nolan @dominicnolan.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Twenty years after CONTROLLED BURN, his utterly essential American stories, there is finally another Scott Wolven collection. Each of his tales do more in a handful of pages than 99% of novels out there manage in hundreds. This is the real fuel. 010
Dominic Nolan @dominicnolan.bsky.social · 02/08/2025This book's alright, and now it's incomprehensibly cheap to boot. WHITE CITY for 99p. At that price, you might as well buy a copy even if you own a dead tree edition. (Don't worry, authors don't require food or gas or leccy. We are fuelled by spite alone) www.amazon.co.uk/White-City-s... 020

Dominic Nolan @dominicnolan.bsky.social · 03/07/2025VINE STREET was exceptional, but WHITE CITY goes above and beyond ― Ian Rankin One of the most interesting, brilliant crime writers around ― Jane Casey Mind-blowing...so much more than a crime novel ― Sarah Pinborough Dominic Nolan is one hell of a writer ― Mark Billingham 141

Dominic Nolan @dominicnolan.bsky.social · 21/06/2025An investigation into the missing occupant of a Margate flat turns into a rumination on the many ways people can disappear from places, and how places change and themselves effectively disappear, and how these things go hand in hand with the various movements of grief. Utterly superb, essential read 173
Dominic Nolan @dominicnolan.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Fabulous review of VINE STREET by Jeremy Black in The Critic. Satisfying to see a book a few years old make an appearance in press pages, especially with a reviewer not adverse to putting the boot in. "This is a sprawling masterpiece... A major work of great power." thecritic.co.uk/murders-for-... 042

Dominic Nolan @dominicnolan.bsky.social · 26/11/2024I was fortunate enough to enjoy an early read of THE RUSH by @bethlewis.bsky.social.
