Newt's Nightmares
Greetings, my wicked darlings!
Happy Pride month to all my fellow LGBTQ🦎 darlings. I hope you're having a marvellous time and engaging in all manner of mischief. Last month was my birthday month, so I spent it wisely, investigating every gutter in Soho and Camden.
I’ve been busy on the DIY front too. I’ve completely emptied my writing room. The integrated closets have been demolished (quite fitting to be smashing closets during Pride Month). The walls are being painted, and a carpenter is installing floor-to-ceiling bookcases. I’ve also acquired a huge new aquarium for the opposite wall. For now, I’ve stolen a garden chair to use as a reading chair. It’s a temporary measure. I haven’t yet found the perfect comfy one. If you’ve got any suggestions, let me know in the comments. And if you're a writer, show me your desk or writing room!
A few shoutouts from horror fiction Substacks I follow:
Deaks has written a banging story, Just Desserts, with serious Great British Bake Off vibes. She also wrote a landlord story for fans of The Spinster, called The Rogue Landlord.
A. J has written, The Hotel, with some marvellous Le Femme Nikita vibes.
In June you’re getting at least one free short story: Invasion of the Hipster Beards (a horror comedy set on Bear Night), plus an audio narration of One More Turn (a ‘cracking’ story I promised last month, but instead I gave you my biggest sale yet).
Sweet Screams,
Newt
