Book birthday! My folk-horror collection COME SING FOR THE HARROWING is out today from @clashbooks.bsky.social.

“Sinister and deeply affecting, Coxon’s remarkable collection is too compelling, too inventive to miss.”

Tony’s Take: Come Sing for the Harrowing (2026 Version) by Dan Coxon — genre buzzword Good friend of Genre Buzzword Tony Jones stops by with a review of Dan Coxon’s Come Sing for the Harrowing, a collection of new and previously published tales that get a re-release courtesy of CLASH...

Another great review of COME SING FOR THE HARROWING, released by @clashbooks.bsky.social next week.

"Coxon is a master of turning the mundane on its head, often via family situations, before seamlessly filtering in his own unique brand of darkness."

I have a chapbook coming! Salo Press are launching their new imprint Infidelities, and my story 'Never Land' is among the first wave. It's a strange recollection of a number of things that actually happened to me, peppered with lies and soiled by confusion. What fun!

“A tender and affecting tale of parental grief that recalls Alan Garner’s strange fables and is ever more plausible the further it strays into fantastical territory.” - Tim Major

"Where Once He Stood moves from a gripping premise to one frightening reveal after another, and at its heart there's a dark mystery that demands to be solved. I raced through it." - Aliya Whiteley

"This skilful dark fantasy novella put me in mind of du Maurier's Don't Look Now and Clarke's Piranesi. Unnerving and sometimes disturbing, it is nevertheless at heart a story about the enduring nature of love." - @unamccormack.bsky.social
