This is heavyweight fiction - an absolute knockout. Can’t wait for people to read Malcolm Kempt debut novel!

The UK edition of my debut thriller, A Gift Before Dying, is 25% off at Waterstones this week. waterstones.com/book/a-gift-be… #agiftbeforedying #ThrillerBooks Baskerville John Murray Press Gideon Pine

Amazing to see my debut novel, A Gift Before Dying (Crown, Jan 2026) on display for the first time at Heartland Fall Forum. It was wonderful to meet so many independent bookstore owners. Thank you! #agiftbeforedying #thrillerbooks #heartlandfallforum

If you ever wanted to read my short stories but weren't sure where to start, I recommend my last collection, Spontaneous Human Combustion, a Bram Stoker finalist. Dark stories, #horror and other speculative fiction, but not without hope. Paperback is currently 45% OFF!

If everyone in a town bought one book a year, the local bookstore would thrive. Support independent authors and local booksellers.

Big news coming very soon! #agiftbeforedying #publishersweekly

Richard Thomas is a master of horror. So stoked to see his short story in this year's Best Horror of the Year anthology. Congratulations!

I’m beyond stoked to share that Stephen Graham Jones, one of the inspirations behind my writing journey, has written a spectacular blurb for my debut novel, A Gift Before Dying. I'm absolutely humbled. If you haven’t read his stuff, then you are truly missing out. Thank you!

The protagonist in my debut novel is named after my grandfather, Eldrick Woodrow Kempt, who served in North Africa and Italy during WWII. So many sacrifices made over the years by young men and women. Take time today to think about them. #VeteransDay #RemembranceDay 🎖️🇺🇸🇨🇦
