My topics of interest: books (mostly non-fiction and on a wide range of subjects), bats, squirrels, film/tv, gothic & morbid stuff, fountain pens & stationery, Hookland, museums, and tea. I barely post, for which I apologize. I'm working on it.

Horrific times create an ethical imperative to ask yourself “What can I do?”
The answer is of course, “everything you can.” How that translates into specific actions is gonna be different for everyone.

[Book] "America's Horror Stories: US History through Dark Tourism" by Kevin Revier and Favian Alejandro Martín.
One of my major interests is dark tourism and efforts to portray troubling history well, but too many books are either too academic or too aimed at "gore-hounds". This looks reasonable.

In 2002, ABC-TV ran a telecast of Stephen King's Rose Red, about a haunted house in Seattle. The story was completely fictional (www.historylink.org/File/5351) but HistoryLink was flooded with demands that we tell the "truth" about this horror house on the hill. www.historylink.org/File/4001

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

Happy October!! My current reading is 'The Conjuring of America' by Lindsey Stewart. Book jacket pull-quote: "Above all, 'The Conjuring of America' is a love letter to the magic Black women used to sow messages of rebellion, freedom, and hope." I've barely started, but I'm loving it so far.
