neutral · AI labelView post →Entelechy: I had a super tight turnaround for this, about a month from ideation to final draft, because of the manufacturing timeline. I loved building out the culture of the Witness' lost people, but I wanted to show it through the personal lens of a friendship between two individuals.
neutral · AI labelView post →My UK publisher @solarisbooks.bsky.social has a sale on 1st books in a series, which includes THE WITNESS FOR THE DEAD. (The 3rd book in the Cemeteries of Amalo trilogy, THE TOMB OF DRAGONS, comes out in March, so this is a great time to start reading!) (The 2nd book is THE GRIEF OF STONES.)
neutral · AI labelView post →NEW SILENT WITNESS TONIGHT. As you may know, I spent a lot of time in hospital recently and one of my comforts was watching an episode every night on the ward iPad. Except I watched the individual series in reverse order. Like a nightly regression to the Witness womb.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Witness on Netflix. It’s a very moving story in which the family involved acted as consultants for the series. One point though, there’s a moment in the 3rd programme in which a psychiatrist says if you remember your childhood you have been well supported. This is NOT necessarily true.
neutral · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: The Tanner family from the 'ALF' series did not appear in this film, but they were mentioned. The Witness Protection Program placed them in Iceland, and "there are some difficulties in getting a phone connection there." (IMDB) 🖤

The Witness, Obra Dinn, Roottrees: Sudoku. Blue Prince? Feels like sudoku but it's crosswords. Despite playing with words, Golden Idol is sudoku.

I’m over 20k words into the final book (which I think will be the best). You can get started with the first book now! #indie #writer www.amazon.com/Dance-Rotten...
neutral · AI labelView post →And finally, THE CEMETERIES OF AMALO trilogy by Katherine Addison @pennyvixen.bsky.social (THE WITNESS FOR THE DEAD, THE GRIEF OF STONES and THE TOMB OF DRAGONS) With plenty of other superb series wrapping up in the next couple of years...and even more beginning! 9/9
neutral · AI labelView post →OH MY GOD, I can't believe we're getting a 3rd game and with a release of next year?! Talos Principle 2 + The DLC is easily my favorite puzzle game of all time even over the likes of the Portal series and The Witness.
neutral · AI labelView post →Seems worth celebrating...I'm 25 pages into the third and final book of my #folk #horror series. The book is tentatively titled The Orphan Ward. The book that preceded it is Blood of the Witness Tree, just released in August. Get in on the first book, #booksky 📚💙 www.amazon.com/Dance-Rotten...

neutral · AI labelView post →Listening to The Witness for the Dead (yeah I think I'm just gonna imbibe the entire series, it's that sort of week), and it's weirdly bothering me that the narrator does a different voice for Celehar's dialogue and the narration... which is in first person.
neutral · AI labelView post →If anyone enjoys signed, physical books, you could get my 2-book #gothic #horror series (The Dance of Rotten Sticks + Blood of the Witness Tree) from me for $35, which includes shipping. You'd just need to have Venmo. #booksky 💙📚 #horrorbook Just comment, and we can work out the details.
neutral · AI labelView post →"This may sound an odd compliment, I know, but I can easily visualise The Witness on the soundtrack to an HBO or Apple TV series." I can't speak for @brosaleigh.bsky.social, but I am open to hearing what @hbomax.bsky.social and Apple have to say for themselves.

neutral · AI labelView post →Caveat that I've read/enjoyed Bennett but not these in particular - I would check out The Witness for the Dead series (Addison) and The Mimicking of Known Successes series (Older).
neutral · AI labelView post →Berman Trek wins for me, but that's exactly what prompted this, so what else. The Ender's Game series was a big deal for me in the late '90s, but not so much anymore. The Witness was interesting but not quite it. Antichrist Superstar?
neutral · AI labelView post →Fourteenth book! The God Is Not Willing Steven Erikson, 2021 First book in the Witness Series 10/10. Incredible. Another Erikson banger. tGiNW deals with forgiveness, innocence, anger, and repentance masterfully, whilst also weaving an intriguing tale about migration and war. Read Malazan.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve had folks ask me if I’ve played The Witness when I discuss how much I’ve been loving Blue Prince or talk about my love for the Myst series or other adventure puzzle games. I’ve played The Witness but no, I did not like it. I got tired of its puzzles being one puzzle type and finding it fun.
neutral · AI labelView post →Damn, I loved Andre, but they go here instead of him faking his identity or maybe his family being in the Witness Protection Program? LAZY F*CKING WRITING! I'm sick of his show grabbing the low hanging fruit. Guess who is going to be carrying yet ANOTHER storyline, Dani. #beyondthegates
unlabelledView post →PBS has a good show called The Witness is a Whale. It explains how Russians were on a killing spree while lying about it. Worth watching if you can find it.

unlabelledView post →Portal (series), The Room (series), Quern - Undying Thoughts, Obduction, The Talos Principle. The Witness seems good but gives me immediate motion sickness. I haven't encountered any puzzle games involving cats, but have been considering buying Stray for at least 6 months.
unlabelledView post →Not QUITE similar vibes, but have you read Vivian Shaw's Greta Helsing novels, starting with Strange Practice? Or maybe Katherine Addison's The Cemeteries of Amalo series, starting with The Witness for the Dead? It's a lovely spin-off to her The Goblin Emperor.
unlabelledView post →I loved the Detectorists. The barn raising homage to The Witness* makes me smile. A small show that filled me up. *Local rule - Witness (1985) is The Witness.

unlabelledView post →2026 Watching #118: The Witness. Third Netflix series in a week and another good one. The horrific murder of Rachel Nickell and its aftermath on her partner and son is told sensitively, helped by excellent acting. Police incompetence rightly attacked as is some behaviour by journalists.

unlabelledView post →Going to keep promoting this for the week, so bear with me. THE WITNESS is the second novel in the UNDERGROUND series, but it is a standalone novel. The series can be read in any order, but readers will find hints and threads in each book that tie to other novels I've written. a.co/d/1wwV1mZ

unlabelledView post →8 (reread): The Witness for the Dead - Katherine Addison. First of a series spinning off from The Goblin Emperor and hmm, I love this book *but* I do think TGE is better as a stand-alone and it’s the one I rec more widely. And yet I am definitely glad this is the angle that got the trilogy treatment
unlabelledView post →Loved 12 Monkeys s2. The last two episodes were insanity multiplied. I kinda guessed a certain plot detail about the Witness, so I was pleased to be right. Heh. Trying to find YT analysis has not been easy tho. Just bookmarking a few for when I finish the series 🥲
unlabelledView post →Yeah! The Witness was so good 😆 (and of course the whole Myst series)
