If we get a movie or TV adaptation of #thewolfmile by @barrington_cf @BrockLesnar would be ideal as Bjarke 💯

Was in St Andrews last Saturday, with no book to read going home. So I finally picked up this in @ToppingsStAs from @barrington_cf
Delighted to discover I was a student when the book’s set, just starting my third year, living in Sallies’ annex.
AND my grandad had a green Uno!

@Saintchris13 @ToppingsStAs How great to read this. Chris, you could have been one of the characters!

[C F Barrington @barrington_cf]

@rfraser1c I’m chuffed to receive your message, Richard. Thank you for the great feedback. It was fun setting the story in the 90s. I too was a divinity student back then (though I changed after a year) and most of the essay titles in the book are my real old ones! So glad you enjoyed.

Back to central Edinburgh for yet more signings of new stock at @Waterstones_Edi and @ToppingBooks. The sheer quantity of books still astounds me. Just trying to live the moment.

Tonight's the night! Join us this evening at St Peter's Church to get your teeth into some thrilling 90's dark academia with @barrington_cf's new novel When We Were Killers - a tale of ritualistic obsession turned deadly. Tickets are available at the door! https://t.co/3Gw5ugLgw6

Thank you two wonderful authors for those two wonderful endorsements, though now I’m wondering can a story be ‘seductive and shadowy’ and also a ‘visceral roar’? 😂😀 @MatthewHarffy @JSThrillers

'Dark academia at its seductive, shadowy best' @MatthewHarffy
'I was blown away by this visceral roar of a novel' @JSThrillers

@_BarbaraMair I’m so sorry to read this Barbara. I’ve not heard the audiobook myself, but I’ll bring this to my publisher’s attention. It’s very sad if the editing has spoiled the experience for you. But thank you for persevering and also raising this directly with me.

[Far From The Madding Crowd Bookshop @Furtherfrom]

Set at St Andrews in the 90s, When We Were Killers is a dark academia thriller about five friends and their deadly obsessions, midnight rituals, and fierce rivalries. And next week, we have @barrington_cf coming to #Linlithgow to talk about it! Tickets: https://t.co/6QiGOLY2sM

4.5 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Dark, thought-provoking, gripping, tense yet magical and utterly moving. Descriptive and beautifully written. Thank you @barrington_cf & @NetGalley for providing me with my first ARC and this opportunity to read such a great book.

Meanwhile, on Amazon I seem to be in a mean and dirty fight with Stephen Fry at the top of the Folklore and Mythology category 😀. Outnumbered and surrounded, I may need more reviews! 😜
