Re-reading this for the first time in ages. It’s not the best of his work, but Banks just proves again that even not at his peak he is better than almost everyone else. #books #scifi

If you go down to the crypts today… You had better take a sacred symbol and a flamer. #warhammer #warhammer40k #necromunda #inq28

‘You say it took you ten months to write your last book? How did you do that?’ - a great question that I got via Instagram recently. Part of my answer is that speed doesn't matter too much; the result is what counts most. The rest of the answer is this: john-french.com/how-to-write-h…

Round about just now, 15 years ago I was working on my first full length novel - The Lies of Solace, now sadly out of print. I learnt so much writing it. Maybe it’s time to write some cosmic horror again. #horror #books #cthulhu

Another champion for the Inquistorial warband. Finding a whole new purpose for all the eclectic special ed miniatures I’ve acquired over the years. #warhammer #warhammer40k #inq28

@track_of_words Thoughts and prayers…

Moving house again. Pray for me (and my back) moving all these books…and all the rest!

Is there anything more fun than writing an rpg scenario where everyone is chasing dangerous occult artifacts, and the main broker for those artifacts is secretly a ghoul for no particular reason? #ttrpg #callofcthulhu #horror #onlyinarkham

World book day. Go read a book. That is all. Happy reading.

@TheMMALawyer Necromunda Hangers On kit: warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/nec…

@johnshfrench What kit is that from?

This guy is definitely getting to escape his fate as a Dome Runner and go straight into my Inquisition warband #warhammer40k #necromunda #inq28

Assembling Inquisitor Barabbas Eiddon’s entourage of the mad, the bad and the righteous. #warhammer40k #necromunda #inq28

Am I exited? Maybe. NO WAIT - that’s a total lie! I mean, how can I NOT be excited would be the better question because this is a new Simon Stålenhag books book. Am I exited? Absolutely. And just the right amount of scared. #books #scifi #art

(Hey, my boy, it’s you and us knife missiles now, Our lunge and speed and bloody secret: The way to a man’s heart is through his chest!’) 3/3

There are books that you enjoy, books that change you. Then there are books that hit you like a truck. This was one of those. I never thought you could have sci-fi like this. Part of me still thinks there isn’t any like it now… 2/3

Round about now, on a cold day in February, 31 years ago, I opened this book. 1/3

@neilandrewmller The 60 had an inkjet cartridge - cutting edge!

@johnshfrench Is that the kind that still needed an ink ribbon, even though it had a digital display? Because I had one of those and it just seems like such a weird conglomeration now.

Best writing machine ever? Not mine but I wrote my some of my first stories on a StarWriter 60 just like this one. Still think it’s a bit magical.
