Had a super chilled time at the World Fantasy Con in Brighton last weekend. Registration was simple, the events I attended ran smooth allowing plenty of breather time in-between, and the panels were excellent. Many thanks to the organisers and the guests for a great convention.

@ericnash.bsky.social Nash's new story, "When Darkness Falls" is loaded with:

"revenge in all its shame and glory;
vigorous **, carpet bombing;
vengeance and fetish;
genocide and…
cats."

A fun, short read! Loved it!

#art of the day.
Artist: John Kenn Mortensen
Black and cream illustration. 5 sinister hooded monkey-faced creatures holding up a blanket for a little girl and boy who are running under it into the dark. The little girl following the boy is looking behind her as if unsure.

FREAKSLAW by Jane Flett. A fast and funny read dashed with dread. A book for all us freaks out there. A 4 ⭐ blast!

Matthew R Davis isn’t in any rush with these stories, so settle in your favourite chair and let them ferry you gently into the dark. A solid collection. 4 ⭐
Cover of Songs of Shadow, Words if Woe. The right edge is white with a vertical musical stave running the length of the cover. The rest of the cover is has a black background with a red peeling paint effect. In the middle is a bass clef behind which is a woman's face, only her eyes are really visible which are looking straight at the viewer.

Between them ‘Municipal Gothic’ and ‘Intervals of Darkness’ have 27 stories full of haunted buildings, haunted people, and working class weirdness. Obviously *I* think they're great – but so do strangers who owe me nothing!

👉 www.amazon.co.uk/Municipal-Go...

👉 www.amazon.co.uk/Intervals-Da...
The covers of both books with quotes in praise of them, and of specific stories: “‘Modern Buildings In Wessex’, which pulls a compelling horror narrative out of several architectural reviews, is an all-timer. Can’t recommend enough... Fans of Ghostwatch and Inside No. 9 – run don’t walk.” Trevor Henderson “...a tremendous collection, hugely enjoyable, and essential... for anyone interested in the English ghost story... ‘Men Who Live in Caravans’... is one of my very favourite stories of recent years: a future classic of the English weird, full of an almost unbearable sadness, quite exquisitely told.” Seán Padraic Birnie

A dim hallway, a half-open door, a whisper of movement behind the curtains—these are more effective than any gore or violence. The mind fills the gaps with its own horrors, drawing from memory, imagination, and deep-seated anxieties.
