Finished The Wilding @ianmcdonald.bsky.social - a fantastic folk horror adventure with brilliant characters, prose to die for(!) and the best use (& love) of Yeats I've encountered for some time. The contradictions inherent in nature v human are judged perfectly 💚 #booksky #lovereading

"The Menace from Farside" @ianmcdonald.bsky.social

Thank you! And I am in Spain celebrating

And all the way from Japan, Hayakawa’s classy translation of Ian McDonald’s novella TIME WAS A gorgeous little hardcover production @ianmcdonald.bsky.social @zenoagency.bsky.social

The Wilding by @ianmcdonald.bsky.social broke me. This is not my usual genre, but I took a punt because everything the man has ever written is deep magic. If you have ever been in the wild, just out of earshot of modern life, just beyond the high-water mark… you will know that grip on your heart.

praise indeed!

oh yes.

My first holiday read is THE WILDING by @ianmcdonald.bsky.social . It's wonderful. Which is no surprise, since Ian has been one of my favourite writers for many years, but it is a joy...

thank you! That means a lot!

Including @ianmcdonald.bsky.social’s THE WILDING (Horror)…
