What's your favourite #liminalspace ? "Looking at my own work, I love nothing better than an empty stretch of torn up concrete, a relentless corridor or a dead beach full of office furniture. And my interest in these is a product of when I grew up" #liminalhorror gnofhorror.com/liminal-drea...
"So, The Lighthouse at the End of the World, has been out in the world for about three weeks at this point. As you might expect, this is a strange and (mostly) wonderful thing. I think, I’m just about beginning to get my head around it." philipasuggars.substack.com/p/this-is-no... #booksky #fantasy
Two hooded figures come to a house.WE HAVE COME FOR THE CHILD. Mother: SO SOON? WE COULDN'T SEE THE HARM! WE ONLY WANTED HIM TO ENJOY READING! FOR MOST, IT ENDS THERE. OH LORD! WHAT HAVE I DONE! WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE GOT HIM A LIBRARY CARD! WHAT IS DONE CANNOT BE UNDONE. IT IS TIME DO NOT CRY MOTHER I AM A WRITER NOW.

I'm brave enough to admit that I would, in fact, buy this the day it goes on sale or see it opening night. Yes, I would.
I loved reading this brilliant article, just as much as reading Philip's brilliant novel The Lighthouse at the End of the World
Yeah, I think Ioved the dream logic quality of the castle sections, I found the period scenes felt incredibly stilted. there were moments that felt a bit like I was watching an R-rated Muppet Christmas Carol :) But props for making Nosferatu utterly gross.
Some blurb from me on the subject of Monsters over at the Barnes and Noble Reads blog: www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/philip-...
For me I love the way a monster makes you question categories. What makes a monster most interesting for you? #monsters #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #booksky
“The liminal is always there, waiting for us. That empty classroom, quiet after all the kids have gone home. The cracked tarmac of the car park late in the afternoon. Any hotel room ever” Some thoughts on #liminalhorror #horror #fisher #uncanny gnofhorror.com/liminal-drea...
Okay, finally got around to watching Eggers’ #Nosferatu. I have thoughts. What are yours?

“A dark, transgressive fairy tale that weaponises feminine rage, Hex House is a stunning, unforgettable debut about what women become when the world offers no safe harbour.”

Basically my thesis here is: wobbly BBC corridors morphed into Severance.

That weird feeling when your book exists somewhere other than between your ears #writingcommunity #booksky #amwriting #fantasyfiction open.substack.com/pub/philipas...
1970s TV couldn't afford monsters. So it made the corridors terrifying instead. Philip A. Suggar on liminal dread, power cuts, and Mr. Primrose's thresholds.

To all who wanted to attend my tour today at the British Museum at 2PM, I'm afraid I have a poorly parent and have had to cancel. Also using Eventbrite is like navigating the Minotaur's labyrinth so I have been unable to email you all an apology, but have issued refunds. Big gay stressed hugs!
How does it feel when your book finally gets trad published?

Thanks Alice, but I don’t need anything right now :)
Was really great to chat to @idakeogh.bsky.social and the rest of the @srfantasyclub.bsky.social crew. Really recommend the event. #fantasyfiction #fantasybooks
Here a clip from my great conversation with @felipeazucares.bsky.social covering his life and his debut novel #thelighthouseattheendoftheworld
What does it feel like when your debut novel is published? #amwriting #fantasy #booksky substack.com/@philipasugg...
Thanks that’s very generous, I’m still kicking this around right now, so wouldn’t want to waste your time.
Now the first book is out, dicking about with the cosmogony for the next Cities of the Drift book. I’m pretty bad at drawing but even a rough visual guide helps me get things straighter when writing. What techniques do you use to get your ideas down? #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #writingcommunuty

Phillip Suggars grew up differently than the worlds in classic fantasy like The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe — so he wrote books that reflect that.
