It’s a good few years ago, and makes me slightly embarrassed to post, but I doubt my writing will ever get reviewed in a national newspaper again, so have to share this occasionally
RIP Tom Stoppard. A true one off.
Funny obviously but there’s a scaffold of intellectual play and a void of darkness and dare I say Weirdness in the true sense underneath his work.

Great to see a new, lengthly, positive review of one of my favourite albums, from a woefully neglected band
For this week's Sunday Review, I went long on one of my favorite albums of all time: Giant Steps by the Boo Radleys.
The Boo Radleys: Giant Steps
Read Zach Schoenfeld’s review of the album.

‘A Ukrainian witch kicks the crap out of Russian soldiers’: the new wave of horror films taking on Putin’s army
Homegrown, female-driven scary movies in which witches and zombies lay waste to invading troops are proving popular in Ukraine. But why seek out horror on screen if you have so much of it in real life...

I saw/heard the author of this forthcoming book @joanneanderton.bsky.social talking about it on a panel at World Fantasy Con and it sounded ace. I’m really bad at taking notes/remembering things from cons (must be the bar…) so glad to be reminded of the title here.
Can a person haunt a ghost? @joanneanderton.bsky.social explores the question in PIXERINA: A Haunting, coming from Bad Hand Books in April of 2026.

I know half my friends are horror writers on here but chist if you want a non-horror film that makes you feel tense as hell and will stop you sleeping then Kathryn Bigelow’s “House of Dynamite” on Netflix, about the 20 mins leading up to a nuclear strike on the continental United States is the one.
