Museum of the Moon
[image error]
I am excited that the Museum of the Moon is coming to Liverpool in 2018. It’s a installation by Luke Jerram. His moon is seven metres in diameter, featuring a 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface.

Follycon
Follycon will be the 69th British National Science Fiction Convention, or Eastercon. It will be held at The Majestic Hotel in Harrogate, from 30 March – 2 April 2018.
Sadly, I won’t be there but I’d like say a big thanks to Roy Gray and TTA who have kindly agreed to put a few copies of “All the Fabulous Beasts” on the stand. These will be at a special con rate of £10 for the paperback and £16 for the hardback edition.
Even if you don’t like the look of my collection, I’d urge strangers to TT...

Maw
The sea was now in retreat. The air smelt swept clean. Water collected in the ripples on the sand and reflected the blue sky overhead.
Donald, Magnus’s younger son, saw the dead seal first. Magnus squatted beside it. Its neck was badly bruised and one of its eyes had gone. A flipper was missing.
“What happened to it, Dad?”
Magnus rolled it over. His cursory post-mortem was inconclusive.
“I don’t know.”
They followed the curve of the beach, and there lay mackerel, herring and ugly monkfish, du...

Kickstarter campaign by The Dark Magazine
Horror fans will be familiar with The Dark.
Co-editers Sean Wallace and Silvia Moreno-Garcia are looking to “help finance the magazine for two more years to allow us to increase the subscription base, increase the pay rate, and increase the amount of fiction we bring to you. Because we don’t just like dark fantasy, horror, or weird fiction . . . we love it.”
The campaign offers art prints, signed manuscripts and limited edition books, subs to The Dark and Gamut magazine, and story critiques....

Mark West’s Stephen King Mixtape
I really like Mark West’s Mixtape posts. So far he has compiled Brit Horror, American Horror and Women In Horror tapes and he’s kindly included me in all of them.
The mixtape project is, in Mark’s words, harking back to the 80s glory days of the homemade mixtape but he’s invited lots of different people to pick a “track” to go on there. They’re all full of the joy of discovering the short stories that other writers love and work you might not have heard of.
Now Mark has turned his attention t...

Resonance & Revolt on its way…
Excited about this new collection from Rosanne Rabinowitz, author of “Helen’s Story”, a Shirley Jackson Award nominated novella.
The final touches to my collection Resonance & Revolt are in progress and it should be ready to go to the printer very soon. Ebook editions will also be produced. There may be a further tweak or two on the cover but the picture above should give you a good idea of what it will look like. Meanwhile, the book is available for preorder at Eibonvale...

C7-Shiina
Click to view slideshow.
Mike Kelly of Undertow Publications has been terrific to work with. One part of the process I’ve particularly enjoyed is helping him to pick the cover artwork for “All the Fabulous Beasts”.
Messages went back and forth between us as we scoured the internet, and both of us are very happy with the final choice for the trade paperback edition.
The artist is Hiroko Shiina, known as C7-Shiina, who is a graduate from Toyko Design Gakuin College.
Her intricate work is p...
