I’ve a feeling I might not end up being the only writer in my clan! My daughter drew this yesterday. I was so impressed when she told me the story that I asked her to tell me again while I filmed her. She did, and included an intro and goodbye too. Maybe she’ll be a YouTuber too!

Just finished the Zom-B series. What a great story. It didn't even feel like 12 books. The ending was *chefs kiss*. Thank you for another great adventure, Darren Shan #ZomB

✨Book & Manga Recommendation: The Saga of Darren Shan / Cirque du Freak✨ I first read Cirque du Freak, also known as The Saga of Darren Shan, when I was 12 years old, and it completely captivated me. Ten years later, I rediscovered the series... and I’ve already reread it

A Shanster called Kinga shared this photo with me over on Facebook. This rather puts most other birthday cakes to shame, doesn’t it?!? 👻👻👻

There was an eviscerating look at the Cirque Du Freak movie recently, by ISENHART PRODUCTIONS. youtube.com/watch?v=Fv6MAC… I don't agree with all the criticisms, but would still recommend having a look, as it's well produced, and includes a good synopsis of how the film came to be.

Sad to hear of the passing of the legendary Brian Wilson. Even in death may he be groovily triumphant! I thought about dropping a link for a lesser known track, but this is my fave and still one of the most extraordinary songs all these decades later. m.youtube.com/watch?v=apBWI6…

Iggy Pop last weekend… Johnny Rotten this weekend!! I’m belatedly catching up with all my old punk 70s idols! I’ve been a fan of PIL since the mid 80s, so it was a thrill to finally see them live, especially as there was a massive dollop of John Lydon’s DNA in Dervish Grady! 🤘
