(1) I had a fantastic time DJ-ing at the @HeavenlyIndie and Sassyhiya gig at the Lexington last Thursday. Thanks to Rob and Amelia Fletcher for inviting me. Here's what I played:

Delighted to see The Tunnels reviewed in the Financial Times! "The Tunnels embodies a very English sense of absurdity, putting Lewis Carroll, Monty Python and Douglas Adams in a blender with a generous helping of pop-culture references and fantasy motifs.” The book's out tomorrow

@nathan_oxley Thanks for the tip off. I will investigate. I'm just finishing The Last Gifts Of The Universe by Riley August, which I'm kind of enjoying, and then it's onto The City And Its Uncertain Walls.

@hdif Oh, I think you’d love it! It’s on the darker side but there’s lots of funny and inventive stuff, like a Met police department devoted to solving magical crimes.

To mark the publication of my debut novel, The Tunnels, I thought it'd be fun to do a @memorialdevice style thread of the influences that fed into my "suburban science fantasy ghost story". From Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy to Sirens Of Titan, The Bridge and Lanark, here's...

@nathan_oxley No, I don't know it at all.

@hdif Thank you for sharing this great reading list! Have you read ‘Kraken’? That’s another great trip into London’s magical underbelly…

You can order books and ebooks here - Paperback - secretname.co.uk/secretshop.html UK Kindle - amazon.co.uk/Tunnels-Suburb… Plus it's in places like Apple Books, Google Play, Kubo, etc. If it's not in your preferred ebook place, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

(15) Well, that's it. If you fancy reading a book which has a valiant crack at combining all of the above, then please give The Tunnels a try. It's out on the 26th - this Thursday - but we're sending out paperbacks now.
