Look what just arrived in the post! First volume of Friday Zone Stories, with my folk-horror story "Bone, Salt, Iron" in it! Plus nine other "unsettling" tales... I'm just settling down for a read.

My uncle wanted a specific bit of exercise equipment for Christmas. Wrapping it was always going to be a faff, and probably look a bit strange, so I decided to lean into it...

I have a new story out tomorrow. It's the first time I've had something published in a stand-alone book (rather than online, or in an anthology). And I'm very VERY excited about it...

There's something about the way that mushrooms can turn themselves inside out (there's probably a word for it) that always makes me see them as really cheerful. This strikes me as a very upbeat mushroom.

In general, I disapprove of people co-opting information systems for other things. But sometimes, it's difficult not to love them for it.

I'm still doing ghost-things this week in honour of the UK Ghost Story Festival (at which I've had a smashing first day, and the Museum of Making is still awesome).

Today's thing is a (very) short film: A Meditation on Domestic Horror.

In honour of the UK Ghost Story Festival (https://www.ukghoststoryfestival.co.uk/), I've been trying to do a few ghostly creative things this week. Today's was a tiny, six-panel cartoon.

In the UK at the moment, there's an ad campaign alerting users to the risks of illegal streaming (you can read about it here: https://amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/oct/07/uk-users-of-illicit-streaming-services-warned-of-risk-fraud-police-visit ).
Never mind that. What is worrying me is the text on the posters... just expand this image and have a look...
What government whiz decided "yeah, the bastard child of a Windows prompt and some invalid XML, that's what this campaign needs".
