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.

Out now in Australia and New Zealand. Hook in at your local JB Hi-Fi. Garn.

"FOUR!"

(IYKYK. Merry ANGSTMAS, everyone!)

[StrayaBook @StrayaBook]

Durries, Merry ANGSTMAS, everyone!

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

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.

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

Here's me having a run at Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut in beautiful 4K from the good folks at @MadmanFilms
Let's see how the old girl has aged!

Happy FOURTH BIRTHDAY to my ripsnorting, Aussie sci-fi epic @StrayaBook! This book keeps on keeping on, finding new readers every week. Thanks to everyone who has supported my writing and this book. Youse are all bloody grouse.

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

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!

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

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.

[StrayaBook @StrayaBook]

How fuggen grouse is this?

ME. MENTIONED IN A BLUTTY GUY N. SMITH BOOK!

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

VERY happy to finally get my hot little hands* on a copy of the reprint of KILLER CRABS by the late, great @guynsmith. This edition in particular is excellent because it features a beaut Foreword by me, AntKnee!

[StrayaBook @StrayaBook]

Nah yeah, this flick is fuggen grouse, eh.

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

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.

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

Anyone who has read @StrayaBook or talked to me for more than seventeen consecutive seconds knows how personally thrilling this is.

Can't wait for you all to read (or re-read) this pithy, pulpy classic SET IN AUSTRALIA.

Watch the seas, the crabs are coming...

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

Tremendously honoured to be writing the Foreword for the upcoming re-release of KILLER CRABS by the late, great @guynsmith

Check out the link of the upcoming Guy N. Smith Fan Convention (Sep 1) for more details.

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!

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

Here's hoping for a streaming/digital/physical release at some point in the future, but in the meantime: cheers ya, you beautiful bastards!

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

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.

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

Happy Angst Day for those who observe!
And if you'd LIKE to observe, head down to Dendy Newtown at 2pm today (April 21). See ya there, legends.

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.

[StrayaBook @StrayaBook]

Grouse, eh.

[Anthony O'Connor @clawtalk]

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!
