Summer has gone & darkness arrives earlier each evening, the perfect time for ghost stories. Tomorrow at 10pm BBC4 is showing the 1970’s adaptation of The Signalman by Charles Dickens. Here’s an unpublished illustration I made a couple of years back. I love this story, I’d love to illustrate it.

A black fine line pen in a crosshatch technique and rolled printing ink on white paper illustration of a signalman standing at the foot of the steps up to his lonely signalbox. The little house shaped box is situated at the bottom of a steep and dank ravine, big slabs of blasted rock rise up to a wooded area, trees trunks, roots and branches twist up into the darkness. The Signalman stares into the mouth of a dark tunnel, rail tracks run parallel to the signalbox into the tunnel. Another figure stands at the mouth of the tunnel, it is shrouded in low lying mist. The only source of illumination is from the light inside the signalbox and a small glowing lamp above the ghostly figure at the tunnel mouth. Dark, damp, dripping, you can imagine the sound of wind blowing through the tunnel and the isolated ravine, not a place for a party but I’d be happy enough there (I’m odd).

Dear writers, Raymond Chandler was 51 when he published his first novel. 9 years later he’d completed 7 novels which would change their genre and contribute boldly to international literature and culture. He died when he was on his 8th book. You’ve got time. Except me. I’m 52.

Every sentence forward is a sentence closer to done. No one cares how long a thing takes to write. No one ever asks. What matters is whether or not it is finished. Celebrate every word you got on the page and don't worry about how your speed compares to others. Just. Keep. Writing.

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.

I've written another short horror story inspired by an Adrian Chiles column in The Guardian. Here it is in full:

A screengrab of an Adrian Chiles column: Scatter cushions and bedspreads - can someone explain to me what they're for?
The subheading reads: Every night I hurl them off the bed. Every morning they are replaced. Off, on, off, on, for ever. Serving no purpose whatsoever.

Every night I hurl them off the bed. Every morning they are replaced. I don’t know how or by whom, but the cushions are there; varied in size and colour and pattern - some small, some large, some soft as marshmallow, some rigid as bedsprings - they crowd the pillow where I lay my head each night like a Greek chorus. And like a chorus, some nights before I throw them on the floor, I swear I can hear them whispering.
On the last night of my stay, I have disquieting dreams. My limbs whither to almost nothing, becoming little more than limp tassels attached to a bloating trunk. I feel my neck retract, pulling my rapidly diminishing head into the straight line of my shoulders, my bones disintegrating into mush. Soon I am looking out through sightless eyes from a body that is all torso, its skin now woven like fabric, muscle- and bloodless.
I strain every part of what remains of my body to edge myself along the wooden floor and up the bedpost to the bedspread. There I join the chorus and finally hear their whispered song, now clear to my earless ears as what it always had been - a siren call.

Spare ticket for the Cronenberg vs Shore no-holds-barred MMA cage fight at the Southbank tomorrow at 3pm. Free if we’re mutuals. My money’s on Cronenberg to secure a KO in round 3. Alternatively they may just decide to discuss film music. You’d be sitting with me, but there are worse things in life.
