Those of you who use Audible should know that UNQUIET GUESTS is now also available as an audiobook. Not as pretty as the gorgeous hardback edition, but easier to stick in your ears.

We asked contributors to suggest books for the recommended reading list in the back, and that was his. In another link with the podcast, I believe he'd previously been discussing it with Maxim Jakubowski.

It's a little known fact that if you leave 13 copies of UNQUIET GUESTS unattended overnight, they will assemble themselves into the arcane structure known as 'the Green Lodge'. Bad news for booksellers, but those of you buying a single copy for yourselves - or one for a friend - have nothing to fear

COVER REVEAL! My short story collection COME SING FOR THE HARROWING will be reissued by the marvellous CLASH Books next April with this tasty new cover. I've also added two new stories, one previously unpublished - what more can you ask? ARCs are available now from NetGalley, or drop me a line!

Everyone else is sharing their Joe Hill photos from the World Fantasy Convention, so I might as well join the party. This was taken on Sunday morning, which explains why I look exhausted (Joe looks kind of tired too). He'd just bought a copy of my anthology UNQUIET GUESTS, gent that he is.

Still blown away by the fact that Heartwood won a World Fantasy Award last night. Such a fantastic weekend at the World Fantasy Convention, topped off in spectacular style. Wonderful to meet @joe-hill.bsky.social and @ericlarocca.bsky.social too. Now, back to work!
