We like to publish books. Hi. 👋
@heathermmcd & @laurafjones
Publisher of the Year '22-'23 ✌️
British Book Awards Scottish Small Press of the Year '24 📚404ink.com 🏴Joined May 2016
Happy Sunday! Look at all the fantastic new books that made their way to the shop this week. What book has been keeping you company in April so far? ☀️
Wasn’t sure what to do with myself today but knew I wanted some sun so headed out for a coffee - picked up @theskinnymag read a brilliant interview about a debut release from a Scottish author headed to @Lighthousebks round the corner and now have a new book to enjoy in the sun
Not to alarm anyone but possibly THE best book of 2024 has just arrived (according to Bookseller Autumn). A staggering, magnificent book that should not be missed.
#FragileAnimals is a gothic meditation on religion, sexuality, repression, family, and a taxidermist vampire.
What a pleasure it was to meet Genevieve Jagger this afternoon! 💫 A huge thank you for signing copies of Fragile Animals, a fantastic debut novel that has already been read and loved by some of our booksellers. 🦢 Read our review here: theportobellobookshop.com/9781912489961-s
Don't miss out on the official return of #VictorAndBarry!
Alan Cumming & @forbesmasson join @JackieKayPoet at @edbookfest on 10th August for what will undoubtedly be a hilarious evening reminiscing on their youthful years as the iconic double act!

What a day! We're super excited that we've had such an enthusiastic response to The Front List. Richard Osman is currently sold out and there are limited tickets available for Alan Cumming & Forbes Masson. All other events are selling fast. #TheFrontList
"What more is there to be said about the allure of vampires, a subject that must surely have been wrung dry by now? In the hands of Genevieve Jagger (@poltervieve), it turns out, quite a lot." 🩸

Thank you @404Ink for taking me on this weird journey
The delightfully dark FRAGILE ANIMALS by Genevieve Jagger is published today and we’re thrilled to announce that she’ll be here in Manchester on Wednesday 19th June talking about the book with @jennashworth alongside Claire Carroll (THE UNRELIABLE NATURE WRITER)
🎫👇🏻
Happy Publication day to the incredible @poltervieve! Fragile Animals is a masterful debut filled with longing, loneliness and vampires. What more do you need, other than to buy it?
