Folks in #Amsterdam or the #Netherlands next month: I'm doing a free book event on HUMANS: A MONSTROUS HISTORY on Friday 13 November, at 4:30pm, in central Amsterdam! I'm not allowed to say where until the venue announces it (surely any minute/day now). But please share/mark your calendars!
💙📚 🗃

Vibrant red, black, and yellow cover of HUMANS. A white oval mirror is in the centre. The mirror border has fictional monsters around it.

Humanity is a thing you have, and something you do, and something you can lose. Too many nominally "good" people act like it is bestowed on them by their vague virtue
