Heard great things about these, so snaffled them yesterday. Looking forward to indulging. Cheers to @natcassidy.bsky.social and @keithrosson.bsky.social for what i’m sure will be fantastic works. The editions are very tidy too.

Here’s the one and only Shaun Ryder in his New Street tuxedo from Friday night. He and Kermit were a blast to see live.

‘Inside No 9’ live was fantastic in the truest sense. Impeccably written and delivered, riffing through vaudevillian, Grand Guignol and variety show tropes with the usual tragic comedy brilliance Shearsmith and Pemberton have been delivering for decades. It’s all about the long joke.

A near constant listen since it dropped in 2018, ‘Avantdale Bowling Club’ only gets better with each year. Incredible.

This time last week i was just arriving in Brighton for World Fantasy Con. Made a beeline to The Hole in the Wall to sup a porter before registering at The Metropole.
Man, weeks move by like moths on the wind.

Little man’s been ill over the weekend, on a drip at the vets, hence the shaved patches. He seems to be brightening up a bit, and has found his familiar position. Now i’m back from WFC, i can nurse as and when required.

Next up, The World Fantasy Awards. Hope to see my new pal @hildur.bsky.social win in her category. Final day of the con. Have just about avoided alcohol poisoning so far, but the day’s young and these literary perverts love their booze.

The con rolls on. Another day of fantastic action, legendary characters and free-flowing liquor.

World Fantasy Con’s been cool so far. Reading from this at 4pm, so oiling the neck engine and tweaking brain HQ.

Brighton has been fantastic so far. Met with some literary masters last night, hung out with great folks, supped a few tidy beers and i’m reading from ‘At Night, White Bracken’ later today. Good times in high winds.
