Hi! I've found myself out of work after a big job I was working on unexpectedly fell through. With a new baby due in December it's obviously been really quite tough. SO I'm reaching out to see if you know of anything that might fit! #commissionsopen

Anyone got a good literary-leaning suggestion for October/Spooky Season book club? Can be HB or PB. It'd be nice if it was *actually* spooky... thanks in advance

I literally tell you about my whole day in the bookshop every week in this relentless newsletter that no one asked for

I’ve just read this, SHOCK CITY, a brand new spoo-wooky all ages comic just released in the US from the incredible Aaron Alexovich. And it’s brilliant. Like genuinely, brilliant. Funny, beautiful and HAUNTED! 👻 (I also have a spare copy, share this tweet for the chance to win it!)
