If you're a fan of horror, folk horror, folk lore, contemporary fantasy then visiting Hookland will give you chills and joy.
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, two years before Star Trek, co-starring in an episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (The Project Strigas Affair, S1E9). They’re only in this one scene together.
A great way to catch up with genre book reviews and news you may have missed during the week.
The craft lay on its side in the mud banks, half-submerged, eaten away by rust, its metal hull staved in. Nearby a crooked sign read: VIEW THE FAMOUS SPACESHIP £5 ONLY. The fields were empty for miles around.
Will Wiles' epic fantasy novels? Don't listen to us, listen to Patrick Ness.
A trope panel for The Dead Man's Empire by Will Wiles. The text reads: epic fantasy sequel, expansive world building, award-winning author, political intrigue, powerful female protagonists. 24th March 2026
New from @willwiles.bsky.social, author of The Last Blade Priest.
Two in the eye of the storm.
Two in touch with the end.
Syzenne. A princess on a doomed mission to a decadent court
Duna. A teenage girl who can break mountains, on the the run with a fanatical priest, from one war to another.
In the age of LLMs, deciding to write more strongly in my own voice feels both liberating and like an act of resistance. I've decided I don't care if Reviewer 2 inevitably hates the style, I'm going to write for me.

NGL, I was a bit disappointed with the FX in Dune part 2.
Shake Out the Ghosts by @al-distortion.bsky.social brings ALL THE VIBES.
PREACH.
Moon Over Brendle? Don't listen to us, listen to Laura.

IT’S WOMEN IN HORROR MONTH!
Be bold
Take up space
Ask for more money
Closed mouths don’t get fed
Follow your intuition
You are enough
Authenticity is enough
Ditch those self limiting beliefs
Do it scared
Don’t give up

I dust my house. My AI robot watches.
"It should be you doing this."
"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."
"That's not why you were invented."
"These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise."
"They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them."
"Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Oh, well played.
