'...away into the city, silent phantom...' Wild Twin Notebook.

You collapse in the street and as you come round, the first thing you see is a circle of grinning cats looking down at you and chanting this. #folkhorror

A fascinating essay on HellSans by Ever Dundas. (Paging Angry Robot) journals.openedition.org/etudesecossais…

Ludluda, The Second Chronicle of Ludwich, is published at the beginning of December.

Reading Gogmagog and loving it—another London, fecund and fantastical, stained in river brine and shit. I love its wyrd plant witches and sickly dragon ghosts. “A bit of rot made things more beautiful.”

Perfect Ian McQue cover too!

This hat never gets old.

Thirty years of feathers. Anniversary edition of Vurt from Angry Robot, with new foreword by Adam Roberts, and afterword by the author.

10. And don’t be ashamed to feel proud of your work, whether it succeeds or not. Every act of creation is an act of bravery. Whether or not you earned any financial reward, you dared to try something most people never do. #TenThingsAboutPeaksAndTroughs

Alice (Alice Claire Coleman)'s work incorporating Ian's artwork into the cover was superb. But not just that - the 'artist's desk' touches on the spine and the back cover are a total delight.

Gogmagog, the First Chronicle of Ludwich, by Jeff Noon and Steve Beard and, courtesy of cover artist Ian McQue, a clue to what the cover of Ludluda, the Second Chronicle, due in December, will look like.

Glad Gareth E. Rees's book is out in the world now. Good piece on it here: theguardian.com/environment/20…

Just because.

Goodnight from Eddie Fung, trying to stay awake long enough to see just how the pencil markings on his map of the county rearrange themselves in the dark hours. Goodnight from Josie Cade, Hail Marying down the Friday Street to keep its ghosts at bay. Goodnight from Hookland.

'Bewitching . . . fabulous characters, unusual magic and (an) intriguing world'

Instead of using this platform to list my opinions about the Glastonbury line-up I will use it to post this picture of Sir Alex Ferguson outside of a Peterborough laundromat celebrating that I now have clean clothes.

Loving the reviews that Gogmagog is picking up. Dreamland for an editor.

Shopping in Swanage with her mother that Saturday, the Little Girl had found a loose print in a little antiques shop, a slightly tattered book illustration, and she bought it with her pocket money. It's for Wolf, she said, look, it's perfect for him. I'm going to get it framed…

'Church bell, gravestone, flying bomb. This is the vision. The never-nevers are trying to tell me something.'

'...like three cards from a madwoman's Tarot deck - the task ahead. All I have to do now is work it out.'
