LOCKWOOD DELETED SCENE!
In honour of the festive season, here’s a little scene that was cut from The Screaming Staircase when I first wrote it. It features Lockwood and George taking Lucy out to buy her first rapier, just after she joins the company.
It was written very early on (Lucy has a different surname), and I ended up cutting it to make the story move more quickly. But it’s fun to find it again.
Happy Christmas!

Are you ready for a spooktacular Book-mas recommendation? Today’s Christmas read comes from the brilliant @jonathan.stroud 🎄☠️
JS: Ghosts enjoy Christmas like everybody else, and a good spooky tale is a fine corrective to all the enforced jollity and turkey-fuelled good cheer. Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol fuses darkness and redemption to create obviously the greatest festive book of all. It should be required yearly reading (just as The Muppets’ Christmas Carol is THE essential family watch). But I’m going to go out on a limb here, and recommend M R James’s Ghost Stories as my Xmas pick. These aren’t stories about Christmas, but many of them were written for Christmas. James was Provost at Eton, and he wrote his stories specifically for reading out to friends and pupils on Christmas Eve. You’ve got vengeful spirits, demonic guardians, nasty things hiding in ash trees, white flappy shapes hunting you along deserted beaches, and many other horrors, all hinted at with impeccable Edwardian restraint. In short, they’re the best creepy stories in English and perfect for the season, so take a peek into the midwinter dark and see what’s wandering there. Happy Reading!

Adventures in Sofia: the brilliant team at @artline_studios brought their rapiers along to keep all ghosts (except one) at bay. I had a wonderful weekend at the National Palace of Culture, signing #LockwoodandCo books and meeting many new readers. I also went on Bulgarian National Radio, and visited the awesome church of St Sophia, dating back to the 5th/6th Century CE.
