The Decadence by Leon Craig is the queer horror lockdown novel you’ve been waiting for. It's absolutely brilliant and launches this Thursday at @owlbookshop.bsky.social
#debutfiction #leoncraig @sceptrebooks.bsky.social

Thanks to @manwithbooks.bsky.social and HMP Erlestoke for inviting me to hold a Life Writing workshop as part of #pennedup - I got to take in some of my favourite authors to share and hear some great stories. Thanks to all those who took part.
