It’s a good few years ago, and makes me slightly embarrassed to post, but I doubt my writing will ever get reviewed in a national newspaper again, so have to share this occasionally
Interesting (apart from the ‘why do people like horror during dark times?’ cliche)

‘A Ukrainian witch kicks the crap out of Russian soldiers’: the new wave of horror films taking on Putin’s army
Homegrown, female-driven scary movies in which witches and zombies lay waste to invading troops are proving popular in Ukraine. But why seek out horror on screen if you have so much of it in real life...

I saw/heard the author of this forthcoming book @joanneanderton.bsky.social talking about it on a panel at World Fantasy Con and it sounded ace. I’m really bad at taking notes/remembering things from cons (must be the bar…) so glad to be reminded of the title here.
Can a person haunt a ghost? @joanneanderton.bsky.social explores the question in PIXERINA: A Haunting, coming from Bad Hand Books in April of 2026.

I know half my friends are horror writers on here but chist if you want a non-horror film that makes you feel tense as hell and will stop you sleeping then Kathryn Bigelow’s “House of Dynamite” on Netflix, about the 20 mins leading up to a nuclear strike on the continental United States is the one.

It’s fundamental to the character of Indiana Jones that he *hates Nazis* and the idea that a clip of him hating Nazis is somehow offensive to MAGA Charlie Kirk fans is both hilarious and very telling…
