Stunning debut novel from my favourite poet @AMcMillanPoet exploring queerness, community and the legacy of Thatcherism in a post-industrial South Yorkshire town. Pity is out from @canongatebooks on the 8th February and I urge you all to read it!

For those of us who are writers and readers, I noticed that a lot of folks aren't familiar with the rich canon of Palestinian literature and don't know where to begin reading. In response to this, down below is a thread of novels, non-fiction, and poetry about Palestine (🧵):

Spotted in @argonaut_books: the most gorgeous edition of Our Wives Under The Sea! I loved this strange, creepy novel so much and am now tempted to buy another copy purely for the sprayed edge 👀🔥

A lot of people have asked me my views of the leadership contest. Truthfully, I have been incredibly hurt so far. Hurt originating with the statements @_KateForbes has made and since stood by. I, like most people in Scotland, could not care less about someone’s religion. (1/10)

What a lovely treat it was to have @angiespotowrite deliver gorgeous proofs and chocolates into my work yesterday! The Grief Nurse is out from @sandstonepress in April and is perfect for fans of fantasy and gothic fiction! 🖤

One of my favourite recent Gothic reads! Dark, twisted, and horrifying in parts, Orpheus Builds a Girl is a fascinating albeit gruesome read! I can’t wait to see what Heather Parry writes next. Has anyone read this one? 🖤
