I'll be down in London the week after it comes out because I'm speaking at Comic Con, but that means I'll sign a big bunch of stock for Forbidden Planet so you'll be able to grab a signed copy there. Otherwise you can always order one from Argonauts in Edinburgh too.
I heard news today that doctors have surgically moved a lion's mouth on to the top of its head.
Understandably, this has created an uproar.
Though I think the link through to the review might be dead?
Glad you enjoyed it!
Review: Abyss by Nicholas Binge
“He folds the proof and tuck it into his pocket. Opening the door, he prepares to descend to hell.”

A Waterstones staffer in a white Hamlet folio t-shirt and glasses stands holding a mic on the near right. In the background is Adrian Tchaikovsly, a white grey-bearded man with glasses and Nicholas Binge, a short-haired white man.
Adrian Tchaikovsly, a white grey-bearded man with glasses is reading from a hardback book and speaking into a microphone.
A lovely evening listening to Adrian Tchaikovsky talk to Nicholas Binge about Children of Strife and scaling up SF, the poetics of translation and more. I only wish we'd had another hour of it!

In which Dononan (Dominic?) performs the stealthiest escape known to man.
A vintage-style promotional thumbnail for "Loki's Gift: A Tragedy in Three Parts - Part III", an actual play series by Narrative Damage. The graphic features a main weathered parchment with black-and-white portraits of three men and the text "Greene Theatre, Piccadilly" and "Watch Now on YouTube." The "L" in Loki's Gift is splattered with red blood. Tucked behind the main parchment are a musical score and a detailed architectural floor plan of a theater, both marked with ominous red bloodstains. The background consists of a dark blue surface covered in faint mystical sigils.
The time has come. The curtains rise. The play must go on.
The finale of Loki's Gift is here! Will our investigators get to the truth before the madness of the music gets to them?
Tune in now to find out!

L.R. Lam sits outdoors in a black blazer and cozy night scarf. The photo is in black and white. Superimposed is the quote ‘I sigh a bit when people complain about ‘politics in their fantasy’ as if it’s something new. All art is political, even if it crosses o uphold the status quo’
Delighted to be having *draws deep breath* USA Today and Sunday Times Bestselling award-winning author L.R. Lam on the podcast next week!
Lam will be dissecting The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow, and how it can help us improve our writing craft.

In which we discuss never-before-seen shapes, erotic depictions of Ebeneezer Scrooge, and together sing a Gregorian chant.
Extremity @bingewriting.bsky.social High velocity Police procedural / time travel novella. The mazy plot hangs together nicely despite unfolding at a truly frantic pace, and the use of 3 first person viewpoints keeps the reader abreast of each characters’ thought processes. Great fun
The news is out! DELIGHTED to be introducing the enigmatic @nickbrucker.bsky.social to the literary scene — add this to your reading list for 2027 folks.
