Derelict space ships and salvage missions are catnip for me. It’s such a good set up for shenanigans! Highly recommend The Immortality Thief if that one passed you by.

I’m diverting from fiction into fancy for today’s post in honour of #SpooktasticReads

Yes I nearly said fact. But. Ghost ships. Very little hard evidence.

Why yes, I am taking the #SpooktasticReads prompts out of order. Will you sail the seven seas in search of ghosts with me?
Ghost Ships
This Spooktastic Reads prompt is where this year's Wyrd & Wonder maritime fantasy theme meets the atmospheric thrills of spooky season. I've always loved tales of ghost ships, so today I'm sharing five of my favourites. You can decide what to believe and whether you'll think of them next time you set out to sea...

I'm splitting my #spooktasticreads participation between my blog and BSky, where I'll post 3 short horror films (<10 mins) throughout the week.

But for today, I'll start with the most obvious into: my favorite scary books, from terrifying to fun. 👻🦇🖤🥀

Hello hello, everyone! I hope October started in the best possible way! Mine started pretty great! I went back to knitting and crocheting, and I am pretty happy (Qwordy, the author behind The Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 2.0 is hosting an event dedicated to crafting, in all its forms, and obviously, I had to participate!).

A powerful, magical narrative about the importance of family and friendship, and a scathing look at the effects of colonisation. The graphic was created by S.L. Dove Cooper at https://www.dovelynnwriter.com An informational graphic. It features a small version of a book cover with text beside it.

Welcome to Spooktastic Reads, when your Wyrd and Wonderful friends indulge in 13 days of haunting reads from the darker side of fantasy. I'm still edging my way back into reading and blogging this month, so naturally I have wildly ambitious ideas that may or may not survive contact with the first jump scare...

If you're @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social my new novel, Project Hanuman, is launching there two weeks early.

@aptshadow.bsky.social called it 'A gem, breathtaking in scope and concept, pushing the boundaries of the genre.'

Details of the launch of Project Hanuman at WFC in Brighton on the 31st October at 2pm in the main room of the convention. The picture includes a picture of me in a natty shirt, the cover of the book and the details included in this alt text.
