One of the things I was reacting to when I wrote my debut novel The Man was what I call "convenience morality." This is the kind where someone, at a click, condemns without checking the facts or considering complexity, not because it is necessary, but because it is easy.

Paul hasn't had night terrors since he was a kid, but ever since he moved into his new house, they have started up again and are getting scarier than ever. But is it really the re-emergence of a childhood condition? Or something that abides on Charnel Close? Pre-order here: mybook.to/shalli

👻 HAPPY RELEASE DAY 👻 I Complete You by @peterstead1.bsky.social has hit the world 😱 An absolutely demented gore-horror comedy novella - all about fitting in. Let the cheap laughs (and blood) flow... 🩸📚😱📚💙📢📚
Book cover of I Complete You by Peter Stead. Against a solid yellow background the words I complete you are written in red. It’s ink, a pool of blood, sits at the bottom.
