It's hard to tell, because I never post on here and when I do it is of interest to no one, but has Twitter just asked me to "apply" to see my notifications? Like, I don't even get notifications without asking nicely? This place is a FUCKING DELIGHT.

"And what is a short version of Susan? Sue. Sue runs a technology company, or *tech*. Sue. Sue, tech. Sutekh!... which is an anagram of 'The UK's'... and who's the UK's... most famous bin? YES, THAT'S RIGHT...!"
(Thanks, @EeePee13 for pointing out the 3-2-1-ness of it all)

Absolutely delighted my story, The Wink and the Gun, has been included in Fears: Tales of Psychological Horror, @EllenDatlow's new anthology from Tachyon. Should be skin-crawlingly creepy from start to finish. CANNOT WAIT.

spectator.co.uk/article/a-ma… Well, okay, @TheSpectator loves my Teeth! I did NOT see that coming. And they call me "unpretentious", which is a first. Lovely review: they got the jokes, and realised the book was about more than my teeth. What more could I ask for?

Here I am - and it's been a long time coming - attacking a box of my OWN books with a knife. Get your hankies out, as I promise searing emotion and my voice entering whistle notes. As usual, the video has freeze-framed at a point where I look like Norman Bates. Cheers.

Here I am talking about my new book, Teeth, to the nice people at @thethinair . They call me a "polymath". I'm going to allow it.

Belfast's reigning bequiffed English polymath John Patrick Higgins publishes his first book, the sure-to-be-excellent 'Teeth: An Oral History' next week
