@neilwilliamson.bsky.socialReposted by @johnj.bsky.socialBlood In The Bricks is NewCon Press's book of the month for October. Not only did it scoop a BSFA award earlier in the year, it's shortlisted in the British Fantasy Awards Best Anthology category, the winner of which will be announced at Fantasycon next weekend, too. Get yer urban folk horror here!

@johnj.bsky.socialI was in bed shivering and sweating all Wednesday, having not slept on Tuesday night. Other unpleasant symptoms that I won't go into. Still feeling dreadful, so I apologise for work delays. I'm guessing that someone sitting near me on the plane back from Lanzarote had a nasty bug. It's not covid...

@johnj.bsky.socialWhizzing around London today for post-holiday meetings...
@johnj.bsky.socialNext week, I have been working with books for 54 years. My first day in public libraries was 25 September 1972. My first day in publishing was 11 January 1988. Good grief. I may have a glass of lager shandy to celebrate.
@johnj.bsky.socialAway on holiday this week. SLOW GODS by Claire North, and A BIG SHIP AT THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE by Alex White (which I've been meaning to read), on the kindle. As well as the first in a new historical crime series featuring Samuel Pepys and biographies of Geoffrey Chaucer and Doctor John Dee...
