🙌🏽 This is the fantasy series I’m recommending to everyone! THE IRON ROAD by @davewragg.com is 5 star - what a finale to Tales of the Plain! 🤩
Perfect for fans who love rebellion, Pratchett style banter & action adventure. I laughed, I cried, I hid behind my hands 🫣

@davewragg.com Oy oy. I'm late saying hi on here - so 1) Hello! o/ 2) Was good to meet you in Leeds the other week! and 3) The Hunters has added 'piss-fingered necrophile' to my vocabulary of insults. Thank you for this, I will use it irresponsibly. o7

I finally finished ‘The Iron Road’ by @davewragg.com ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recommended the series & photographed it every chance I got at World Fantasycon! Even went to the panel on Writing for Laughs & spoke briefly to Dave, but then avoided him so as not to inadvertently get spoilers to the ending 🤣 very cool 👌🏽

My copy of The Iron Road by @davewragg.com arrived today from @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social 🤩
I’m nearly 80% finished on the arc but I can finish it off in style 👌🏽
I’ve really enjoyed it! I don’t want it to end, particularly as I am fearing greatly for the longevity of my fave characters atm!

Currently reading The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre by @pfracassi.bsky.social - so brutal! I’m dreading who will be the next victim 🫣 I’m hooked!

Also reading The Iron Road by @davewragg.com - final book in The Tales from the Plains trilogy. I’m sad to say goodbye to Ree & Javani 😭

Next up for #drawtober is spellbound princess!
This has got several loving references to one of my all time favourite illustrators, Harry Clarke, and also Sergio Toppi.
I’ve included some process photos - the final work is in pen and ink on paper, but the planning sketch was digital.
See it at WFC!

Knox is as mesmerised by these editions as I am :) It’s good that these arrived today because it means I can quickly get into The Iron Road.

Tales of the Plains has been a fantastic series so far. @davewragg.com doesn’t miss.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival! 🥮 I’m thrilled to share the cover of #TheGirlWithAThousandFaces, coming 5 May 2026 from @torbooks.bsky.social! ⭐⁣The Girl with a Thousand Faces is a Chinese-Gothic tale set in a historical Hong Kong.

Cover art by Lindsey Carr, Cover design by Shreya Gupta
A ghostly Chinese woman with dead white eyes stares out from a stylised black and green ocean, her face surrounded by billowing gold foam THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW NOVEL FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOK EATERS A haunting dark urban fantasy set in a historical Hong Kong, where ancient myths and local legends combine in a story of ghosts, grief and women who will not forgive. Mercy Chan is a triad exorcist with a mysterious past. After washing up on the shores of Hong Kong with no memory during World War II, she found a home in Kowloon Walled City, an infamous, ghost-infested slum full of lost and traumatised civilians. Since the war ended, Mercy has rebuilt her life and found work as a ghost-talker for the local triad, dealing with the angry and bitter spirits who haunt this place. But the past she can’t remember won’t let her go. An unusually powerful ghost lurks in Kowloon’s waterways, drowning innocents and threatening the district. Unnervingly, it claims to know Mercy—and her forgotten childhood. As Mercy is drawn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with this malignant spirit, she begins to realise that the monster she fights within these walls may well be one of her own making.
