I’m Michael Marshall Smith, and I write novels, short stories and screenplays. If you’ve come from Twitter, you may know me from such rants as:
This Substack will be a place for slightly less sweary pieces (probably) — along with stuff about writing itself, and the world, and the weird and fascinating things in it. Sharing some art too, and music, even a recipe from time to time. A bit like sitting next to me in a pub but without the inevitable hangover and/or short stay in a correctional facility. Should there be news about my new books or other projects, they’ll be here too.
Variety will be my watchword; having written mainstream, horror, thriller, science fiction and crime, as well as prose, screenplay and non-fiction, and now working as a TV development producer, sticking to a lane is clearly not my jam. I will not be carpet-bombing your inbox, and I’ll try to be at least the third or fourth most interesting thing you read all day.
