Commissioning editor at Titan Books. Debut collection HUNTING BY THE RIVER out now from Black Shuck Books.
@dancarpenter.bsky.socialIt's such a fascinating, awful-looking thing. A clear run at a redemption arc for Depp (cancelled, hated man turns good in a single night, WHAT A COINCIDENCE), and that initial trailer was so clearly pitching it as a weird prequel that it's insane that it's just a boring version of the same story.

@nomadpenguin.bsky.socialReposted by @dancarpenter.bsky.socialAn unexpectedly apt pairing with my last read. Private Bagger and his good-for-nothing comrades rescue a fallen angel from the battlefields of WWI. A visceral, cinematic story of greed and desire. And the writing! The novel is one long polyphonic sentence. Masterful. #read2026

One path through the swamp is just a really good cosmic horror yarn, but the glittering horror beneath is an absolute rage against AI and fakeness, against things pretending to matter to us
Go read it

@tomhuddleston.bsky.socialReposted by @dancarpenter.bsky.socialMy new novel THE CRACKS has been named Paperback of the Week in @theobserveruk.bsky.social.
@chrispower.bsky.social says the book 'is consistently light on its feet, blending humour and an awareness of its own cliches alongside genuinely scary moments.'
