Tomorrow I’m dropping my arcade horror on Kickstarter - a twisted tale of haunted amusement horrors illustrated by the incredible Christian DiBari (Marvel/DC) can’t wait to finally share this story, a love letter to my misspent youth spent in dark arcades across the South Coast.

PLAY SAFE! DRINK SAFE! The Neon Raptor Brewing Company's new beer collection is based on the public information films of the 70s and 80s: No Swimming, Fluttering Kite, and Shockball. A big thank you to them for sending these samples - at 8.5%, No Swimming will have me floating on me back!

Thank you Nick! The witch’s prickly embrace is a welcome break from the Rona horror

new ghosts

a man in shadow, stepping into light. his obscured face is stretched and warped

a misty, skull-like visage. one eye hole is a socket, the other is like a hole in a mask a frantic eye is peering through

a dog-like figure with a bald, grinning human head balanced sideways on its neck

a sepia toned screaming man, his upper head drifting into a white blur

Couldn't be happier to be working on a horror comic with it's roots in vintage arcades and have the talents of @scarredforlife.bsky.social onboard to help bring this horror to life.
Truly a Halloween treat 🎃🕹️

Hey thanks so much @philbybear.bsky.social ! That art style is thanks to the incredible work of Scott E Supple of Teebowah Games (sadly not on here) but the man is a pixel art genius.

Good question! I personally think Rye feels spookier. But there’s a great book by Griselda Mussett who goes into the Faversham ones in great detail

A fantastic eve of ghost stories at The Alex Faversham ( in the most haunted town in Britain ) narrated by the brilliant @adamzed.bsky.social - truly chilling.

Also had time to go check out the towering ‘St Mary of Charity’ and its terrifying new sculptures who definitely come to life after dark

23 (?!) years of Feeder’s ‘Comfort in Sound.’ Clearly a mistake but clearly still the best - and @grantnicholas is clearly a vampire

So great to catch-up with Dan Baines for his MacMillan open day and truly a privilege to test out his astounding new illusion ‘Project Nightmind’ at his studio in darkest Kent. Narrated by the phenomenal E.R. Perkins - terrifying.
( No wonder the other attendees appeared to have been scared stiff. )

For fans of the ghost story in Kent, this year marks the 10th anniversary of the brilliant
‪@adamzed.bsky.social Book of Darkness and Light, it remains IMO one of the most unsettling live ghost story events I've seen.

Don't miss this Sunday's show at The Alex in Faversham: tinyurl.com/4znncwhw

Darkness & Light

The Book of Darkness & Light presents Darkness & Light: Ghost Stories by Adam Z. Robinson Come face-to-face with terror… One lamp-lit storyteller, two ghostly tales and nothing else but the infinite…

So great to catch-up with Reece Shearsmith to see his and Steve Pemberton ‘s fantastic Inside No.9 ‘Stage Fright’ at the Marlowe Theatre. Hilarious and chilling in equal measure and absolutely unmissable
