Delighted to see that @bookhaus.bsky.social now has a substantial section called just ‘Weird’. Bought a few bits.
A shelf in a bookshop with a sign above it that reads: weird. Four books laid out on a desk: By Horror Haunted by Celia Fremlin; Unquiet Guests edited by Dan Cox on; Spores Of Doom, A collection of spooky stories from the British Library series, edited by Aaron Worth; and a collection of stories by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

It sure is! Thanks to everyone who helped me make this book. I'm reminiscing today about field trips to Orkney, Shetland & the Outer Hebrides, islands which swept me up in their windy history, and offered new perspectives on 'national' narratives & global challenges. (And plotting ways to return!)
