Picture of the author holding a copy of Gone But Not Forgotten. On the front cover a startled black cat stands atop a grave stone. At the foot of the grave lies a glowing Jack-o-lantern.

I’ve done it! I’ve entered “Gone But Not Forgotten” into SFINCS3! Good luck, Bill and Mere.

A happy belated birthday to the horror meister Dario Argento.

A living legend....

Can anyone recommend Halloween events happening this year, preferably in the North-west of England or Wales?

We went to the Halloween Family Festival at Muncaster Castle last year.

Amazing 😆

They were playing this in Costa today.

This week I became a member of the Society of Authors societyofauthors.org/soa-member/j...

Also, today I had some very exciting news relating to the horror fiction podcast to which I’ve contributed two stories so far. More details when I have them…

Watercolor sketch of a brown haired woman dressed in an old fashioned green dress with lace at the cuffs and neckline running in terror down a dark corridor, pursued by a huge, smoky, ghostly figure.

New sketchbook! New sketch. I think my use of watercolors is improving.

I've read most of Auster's stuff over the years and loved most of it, Moon Palace, The Music of Chance and Leviathan, especially. I struggled with his later work, like The Brooklyn Follies and Travels in the Scriptorium. I'm still halfway through Timbuktu, but I like it.

Do you like it? I gave up tbh, it didn't grab me like the original book. I'm a fan of Mazzucchelli's art for Daredevil and Batman, but I wasn't keen on the way he developed what felt like a self-consciously arty style.

Old but gold

Great book. I'll read anything about 70s / 80s Liverpool.

I text the campsite warden and have the child safely collected and taken back to their parents, then get back to the business of skinning alive the man in the next tent to mine who was playing his transistor radio too loud.

Care home. My WIP ‘Bit Parts’ is set in one. It’s about a faded horror film star failing to be recognised by the other residents. So he decides to reenact a famous scene from one of his films, with hilariously gruesome consequences.

My writing project, CAPTURE SPIRAL, took a big leap forward today. More deets when I can share them, but for now, here are some teaser images…

RIP Martin Cruz Smith. His Arkady Renko novels were brilliant, he was pastiched by Michael Chabon, and he wrote one of the best novels ever set in Wigan.

Good question. I don't know if they're retiring the modern DC logo and returning to the circular version. They're certainly bringing back Vertigo. I really fancy rereading The Horrorist.

We didn’t really touch on old age in the chat, which is something that preoccupies me. Here’s a fragment of a WIP you might like. open.substack.com/pub/conolly/...
