Another website I use is down because AI bots are scraping it whilst the billionaire who owns ChatGPT says he wants free use of all our art and knowledge sources so that he can sell them back to us at an extortionate rate. The knowledge keepers and scholars are under attack by fascist governments controlled by the same billionaires stealing all our art and knowledge. Tell me would you have stopped the burning of the Library of Alexandria and the purging of its scholars if you had a chance? Or would you have lit the match? - Nikita Gill

The Fog (1980)
"Eleven fifty-five... almost midnight. Enough time for one more story."

What a classic. John Carpenter does it again. This is the definitive ghost story movie for me. Moody atmosphere, an all star cast, and a lived-in town full of local eccentrics.
Machetes up for this🔪🔪

Oh my god! No Friend to This House is one of Time’s ‘Books You Should Read in March’! How fantastic. And they’re right, US readers, you SHOULD 😁

Absolutely honoured to say that Waterstones has picked Hekate as book of the month. Verse novels and poets do not normally get this kind of love, so I am BEYOND grateful for this. 🥹🖤

Let’s go to Latitude!

I am having a BOOK LAUNCH AT THE STRAND! What an iconic place to welcome No Friend to This House to the states; I can’t quite believe it. You are all invited to this very cool moment ♥️📗 Please come along if you can.

Girl is devoured. World blames the girl. Girl wonders how this could happen to her. Girl loses her mind. Girl gets angry. Girl wants to be heard but every time she tells someone, her voice feels coated with tar. Girl feels the wound inside her grow. Girl is afraid the wound will one day get so big she will drown in it. Girl finally tells someone and they ask what did she do to ask for it. Girl doesn't speak of it again. Girl wonders if she deserved it. Girl tries to forget. And tries to forget. And tries to forget. But memories have teeth that become fangs. And fangs have never learned how to let go. Eventually she becomes a locked door. Eventually she learns that she is no feast. Eventually she learns that to devour is better than to be devoured. Eventually she becomes the wolf they fear. - Nikita Gill

It’s the oldest story in the world. The Epstein Files reminded me of this piece I wrote on a devastating anniversary.

We had an incredible day on Bandcamp yesterday. We're a small band, no label, no marketing team. Our record's been out over a year & thanks to the BC community it reached number 8 in shoegaze & grunge releases worldwide. If you took a moment to check us out or bought our record, thank you so much.

Hi! A quick reminder my bestselling book, ASK A HISTORIAN, is only 99p on eBook right now!

It was a lot of fun to write! Members of the public asked me 650 questions, and I chose the 50 most interesting ones (and sometimes I had to ask a historian too!) www.amazon.co.uk/Ask-Historia...

Happy National Year of Reading, everyone! 📚✨
