Unspeakably stoked to have a RAVE REVIEW in @AurealisMag - which is one of the most successful and respected sci fi journals in Australia. Absolute pearler of a thing. Not sure what to do with all these positive emotions tbh.

Just quietly: December 3 is going to be a VERY GOOD date for those who like their Aussie indie comedies about lovelorn horror obsessives living in Sydney's Kings Cross. ANGST is back, baby! FASHIONABLY LATE twenty-five years after its initial release.

Honoured and delighted to hear that my short story "We Have Children Now" has been nominated for a @AustHorror Shadows Award! It appears in the terrific anthology Spawn 2: More Weird Horror Tales About Pregnancy, Birth and Babies from IFWG Publishing. Stoked!

Happy SECOND birthday to my SECOND novel, Emma After! If you're in the mood for some spooky shenanigans in rural Australia you could do a lot worse than picking up this supernatural romp. Happy to sort you out with a personally signed copy if you're keen too.

Just a quick reminder that #TheSubstance is a "horny, hideous, slime-slicked nightmare ride through phobia, loathing and fleshy indignities" and the most strikingly original horror film in years. Out now in cinemas, Australia. Get on it. filmink.com.au/reviews/the-s…

The Substance - FilmInk

… a darkly satirical body horror masterpiece. A horny, hideous, slime slicked nightmare ride through phobia, loathing and fleshy indignities you won't believe you’re seeing.

Happy THIRD BIRTHDAY to my first novel @StrayaBook! A risky, cross-genre experiment in post-apocalyptic insanity that has (somewhat inexplicably) found an audience. If you've read it and loved it, chuck up a rating on Goodreads, yeah? Cheers, ta! goodreads.com/book/show/5769…

A big, sloppy, sincere THANK YOU to all the legends who came to the ANGST (2000) screening at the Inner West Film Fest. It was a bloody hoot! The old girl has aged far better than I dared expect.

I sold my first screenplay, Angst, when I was 19-years-old. It was a wild, scary, exciting and surreal ride. Here's a little interview I did with @filmink about the experience. filmink.com.au/anthony-oconn…

24 (!) years ago, a film I wrote (Angst) was released in Australian cinemas. It managed to gain a small but loyal cult audience in the years since. Now you can see it on the big screen in 35mm, April 21st, at the Inner West Film Fest! innerwestfilmfest.com.au/202…
