I spend a lot of time with my dog. If I can’t get that right, I can’t get anything right.

@talkscaredpod.bsky.social I love your podcast, your recs and your novella but please help me with something. You always say how much taking a “stand” means to you, why then, did you run from X like a coward?

I’m glad… I think!

Talking Scared Podcast @talkscaredpod.bsky.social · 1d

Yay!

I’m glad you get it. I found that line truly sorrowful rather than villainous

GOOD BOY (unrelated to the film btw) by @talkscaredpod.bsky.social is truly one of my favorite things I’ve read all year — it’s sweet and scary and all told, a masterful story. Give it a go.

NEW EPISODE! Today I want to wish @talkscaredpod.bsky.social a happy birthday! He's a good friend, and I’m delighted that he's my guest today. We chat about his new novella, GOOD BOY, tap into his romantic side, and discuss the gothic inspirations from both literature and his surrounding landscape.

'Northern creatives need to set their sights further afield than just London.'

Podcaster and horror writer Neil McRobert @talkscaredpod.bsky.social joins me to discuss publishing, the North and having Stephen King as a writing friend. @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social

A greyscale photo of Neil from the shoulders up looking directly into the camera. His expression is serious and he is wearing headphones with wires. He has a beard and his hair is tied back.

The Tyne Bridge is pictured in the centre of the frame over a still, reflective River Tyne in Newcastle, UK. Either side of the bridge are buildings with a warmer glow as the sun rises. The words Northern Voices in white lettering feature in the bottom centre of the image.
