Cthulhu Lives!
I wrote Universal Constants, the first story in this new Lovecraftian anthology from Ghostwoods Books. “That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.” At the time of his death in 1937, American horror … Continue reading
In Praise of Trivets
I was round my parents house the other day, and we needed to put a hot pan on the table for dinner. It went onto a tablemat, so the wooden table wouldn’t get burned. I said to Dad “I wonder … Continue reading

My Two Dads
So Man of Steel was a huge success then. There was a lot of chatter when it was first released about some of the choices the writers made in the film. Admittedly this was usually expressed in a howl of … Continue reading

Nanna
I said goodbye to my Nanna this evening. For a significant part of the evening she thought I was called Bill, but that’s neither here nor there. Bill, I told her, was a perfectly good name, and would be just … Continue reading
If you have any sort of interest in sex and data (and which of us doesn’t, really?), read this.
OkCupid is a dating site. It organises matches based around self-selecting data. So you’re given a bunch of questions to answer. What do I think of such-and-such? How important is the answer a potential partner gives to that question to … Continue reading
It’s not a given…
So, there’s this TV show, right? About a character called Doctor Who. You can tell it’s about a character called “Doctor Who” because the show is called “Doctor Who” and in the credits for the first eighteen years or so, … Continue reading
