🎶 Must be the season of the witch 🎶 The next 3 books in my queue, after @shewolfmanc.bsky.social's Unburied, are How to Kill a Witch, That Very Witch, and The Conjuring of America. The fall of patriarchy is my favorite time of year.

Over the past year or so, I've been writing stories of the little moments of joy and strangeness I've experienced riding the rails around Manchester. I love trams, and I love the things I see on them. Today's story is called Coronation Chicken.

Work has been so full-on these past couple of months, I've hardly had any time to talk about my book. So just a reminder... Unburied: The True Story of Hannah Beswick, the Manchester Mummy came out in February from @manchesterup.bsky.social! Feel free to AMA about mummified Georgian Mancunians.
