Morning. Fresh friday = fresh fiction. This week: do you know the full story of the tortoise and the hare? Yes, you probably do. But I made up some additional nonsense for your amusement anyway. Enjoy! jonathanwood.substack.com/p/the-tortoi...

Morning! New Monday, a new piece of absurdity. This is a light tie-in to Washed Up on Dark Shores (available now!) but also a self-contained bit of horror-comedy. Enjoy! jonathanwood.substack.com/p/notes-from...

Oh look, it's the end of the week. Why don't you reward all your hard work with this chill little novella about three lovely people going through absolute hell and being confronted with the nightmare of greed that we have all created for ourselves? You deserve it. www.amazon.com/Washed-Dark-...

The monsters have had their turn. Now the henchpeople are organising. The Henchperson’s Guide to Unionizing by Marshall J. Moore is a warm, wickedly funny Gothic fantasy about invisible labour, found family and the most dangerous thing in the castle: a staff meeting. gnofhorror.com/the-henchper...

Morning. Whenever I have a new book come out, some people will ask me if there's a place they can buy it that helps me out more. Basically because they're delightful. But the answer isn't super straightforward, which is why I wrote this. jonathanwood.substack.com/p/where-shou...

Morning all. Rather than the usual free flash fiction, this week I am rather focused on the fact that Washed Up on Dark Shores is out next Tuesday. So here's a sneak peek of some of the fun contained. Hope you enjoy. jonathanwood.substack.com/p/washed-up-...

Growing up a huge nerd, humor was a way for me to avoid irrevocable social death. Since then, it's been a comfortable way to deflect my own awkwardness. Writing something where humor is only sparingly used felt like a huge risk, so it's a great relief to see someone read it and respond so positively

Morning! A new week = new audio. Today: an experiment using a tightly restricted vocab of 50 words. Personally I found it interesting how the limitation pushed the story more towards poetry and made me play with repetition and rhythm. Hopefully you will too. jonathanwood.substack.com/p/the-haze-a...

Morning! More free Friday fiction is up. This one's in honor of the Neuromancer trailer (which I adored) and a sort of response to Gibson's short story "The Gernsback Continuum." A sort of look back at what cyberpunk was and where it might go. jonathanwood.substack.com/p/the-gibson...
