We're gathering at Writing the Occult: Time & Place to talk about just this sort of thing - how you can nail time & place in speculative narratives. Mark joins Una McCormack, Rob Shearman & Simon Guerrier on a very special panel talking about using the TARDIS to make time and space infinite, too. 🧵⬇️

Paraphrasing Robert Shearman: 2025 is tottering about now, it looks unsteady on its legs. If we all shove hard together this one last time I'm sure we can push it over.

Still making my way through @sjtownend.bsky.social debut collection SICK GIRL SCREAMS. Why is it taking this long? It's so emotionally raw, so unyielding, that I can only read one story every few days. This books deserves more attention (and includes a great intro by @robertshearman.bsky.social )

Introduced by the great Robert Shearman, please buy my debut horror collection! And just look at that cover art! (Thank you, Daniella Batsheeva!) What a great Christmas stocking filler this book would make for any horror fan! Buy it now - it's what baby Jesus would have wanted.

I finished two books today. One as a writer, and one as a reader. I think both experiences are satisfying, but the lovely thing about finishing a book as a reader is that you can still be surprised by the ending.

November 21. I got excited, thinking this was the shortest day of the year. And that from this point on the sunlight will get longer and the weather will get warmer and we’re on the sure climb towards the Spring. …Then I remembered that’s *December*, we’ve another month of this first. Bugger.

I still feel about BlueSky the way I feel about swimming at the beach. I keep on paddling and then backing off from the merest wave. And I stand on the sand watching all my mates swimming and laughing and playing with huge inflatable ducks, and saying the water is lovely - and I paddle out further.
