@drewgum.bsky.socialReposted by @drewgum.bsky.socialWell my little darling Saltburn you didn’t make the Polari Prize longlist (congrats to all that did), or sell a great deal of copies, or get many reviews, but I love and am proud of your queer madness, your mermaids, your nuclear power station meltdowns.

@sunburntsaints.bsky.socialReposted by @drewgum.bsky.socialThis post resulted in a little rush of subscribers to our chapbook series. Thank you! Very soon we’ll be turning our attention to December’s book, by @luluallison.bsky.social But first, if anyone else wants @drewgum.bsky.social’s Gregor, come and say hello! About 10 copies left and then that’s it!
@lmbayley.bsky.socialReposted by @drewgum.bsky.socialHave you read Saltburn by @drewgum.bsky.social yet, MG? It's the gayest book I've ever read, and utterly filled with joy.
@drewgum.bsky.socialThank you!
@davidcollard.bsky.socialReposted by @drewgum.bsky.socialI enjoyed compiling this list of auspicious debuts by some favourite writers, including (among the living) M. John Harrison, Jonathan Meades, David Hayden, Sara Baume, Drew Gummerson and Wendy Erskine. Jonathan's summary (below) sounds unsettlingly like 'The Monkey's Paw' by W. W. Jacobs.
