I hate April Fools because it's always some shit like "check out this toaster that plays Space Harrier" and I want that toaster so bad.

Playing fifty seconds of Resident Evil Requiem a day so I can make it last until the next one comes out.

Saw this in a meal deal. Two whole frozen pies. It's a main, so you can have a sausage roll as a side. Absolute godless behaviour.

What happens when good intention can turn you into the monster they fear? A Mother's Porcelain - available on Amazon as paperback and ebook, or also available as ebook on my Ko-Fi

A close up of a porcelain doll; a bloodied tear running down her cheek. A quote above her states "...when in the grasp of demons, sometimes all one has left is hope."

A promo image for A Mother's Porcelain depicting the cover (a shattered porcelain doll head resting on a hard wood floor) is on a tablet, framed in darkness & blood. The accompanying text reads "A Mother's Porcelain. Love will be her prison. Available now"

I bought ten issues of Sonic the Comic at the London Gaming Market on Sunday, and I have decided this is my personality now.

I just bought issues #1 and #3 of Jeph Loeb's The Last Halloween. Not sure if this is a display of unwavering confidence or the complete opposite.

Just finished reading this. Given its place of prominence in the genre (nay, literature in general), I expected it to be a bit of a cliché fest. But I didn't see the ending coming... even though I thought I did. A highly recommended, easily digested classic.

The cover of And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.

I truly wish I had made more of an impact with this one. Sadly, it hit just as I was at peak burnout, and I had no energy to promote it. I think it's my best work.

Just finished An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro. Not Ishiguro's finest work, but bad Ishiguro is better than good anything else.

Tonight, I am rewatching Creep (2004). It currently holds the honour of being the worst film my wife and I have ever seen, so I am curious to see what reflections I will have after a second watch. As an aside, 2004 was over 20 years ago. Holy sh

Little Snowy is on his way to Pigeon Recovery in Sutton. This adds one more charitable act I have completed in order to spite a cat.

The bird is probably going to die regardless. However, I know I would rather die in a warm cardboard box in a kitchen than be teased relentlessly by some cat.

I have rescued a pigeon from a cat. I wouldn't normally intervene but the cat was being a proper dickhead.

I love how Netflix advertises to me the shows I'm already watching. "Hey, you're watching The Show, have you tried watching The Show?" Yes, great job, well done. Who's a good algorithm?

These guys have always cracked me up. It's like they're earnestly trying to play a weird football/tennis mash-up and some people just drive their cars through it.

What's the craic #HorrorWritersChat? Robin Drown's the name. Semi-retired writer of sci-fi, horror, comedy and seasides. The closest thing I have to a WIP could be summed up as: Man rewrites time, accidentally kills wife.

People ask me why there are so many bird themes in my books. People don't understand that I invented birds. Back in 1989, I stuck wings on a dog and it just kind of went from there.

Literally hundreds of people I follow on Twitter with whom I have never had any meaningful interaction. Time for a cull. Yes, I am fully aware that this is the first stage in a complete Twitter account shutdown, thank you.

In Burger King and an elderly lady asked them "do you do Whoppers?" On the way home, I had to explain to an older neighbour where our local Burger King actually was. In summary, old people have Burger King Blindness.

I was looking at the bauble when I noticed it wasn't reflecting right. I had green hair, orange eyes. The wallpaper behind me was black, not white, and my jumper was red, not green. All the opposites. In the reflection, the angel behind me put his hand on my shoulder. He smiled. #HorrorWritersChat

Given her experience with religious zealots, Claire would shudder at O Come, All Ye Faithful. She doesn't want the "faithful" to come anywhere near here. She also hates 12 Days of Christmas because she doesn't have the patience for it. #HorrorWritersChat

There are plenty of scary things in Reymouth - the place has a dark history steeped in black magic - but, knowing Claire, the scariest thing she could find in her stocking would be a 'Happy 30th Birthday' card. That or the corpse that stalks her. #HorrorWritersChat

Claire returns to the quiet seaside town where she spent her youth, to help her dad heal his broken legs so he can hang up the tinsel in a mere four months. Will she fall for the charms of her childhood sweetheart, or will she be slaughtered by immeasurable demonic forces? #HorrorWritersChat
