This is today: come and see us talking about genre fiction at Bedford Central Library!

Sarah L Miles @iamgiantwoman.bsky.social · 4d

Snog, Marry, Kill?!
This Saturday at Bedford Central Library, I will be joined by Sunday Times best-selling author Holly Race and Bram Stoker Award nominee Josh Winning for the ultimate bookish showdown - which genre is better: horror or fantasy?!

The words “snog marry kill” in vaguely themed fonts on a red background with bloodstains and hearts.
Because we like to be on theme.

FINE. I’ll go and confront the fresh hell then. AGAIN.

Sarah L Miles @iamgiantwoman.bsky.social · 1d

Hmm… that is quite the dilemma.
What if I double up on adventures, so that covers mine and yours? That way you can stay indoors for both of us and all the quotas are covered?

I might be able to fit in a little bit of non-hell time while it looks though? As a little treat? Just quietly staring into the abyss maybe.

Because of the hunger, and the need for hugs? Stabby, stabby hugs…

Sarah L Miles @iamgiantwoman.bsky.social · 1d

Good morning Ted! It’s a good day to go on an adventure!
