If you live in Bristol, love horror and want to support local businesses, please consider doing some of your Christmas shopping at The Haunted Bookshop in Stokes Crofts.
You may have seen Monika at some of our events and her shop is a wonderful sanctuary for those looking to find their people.

Bookshop owner unsure how much longer business can stay open
"I’m even looking for a second job in the evenings just so I can pay my own rent. Running a bookshop isn’t quite as glamorous as it may seem"

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

There's a lot you could say about this unhinged, late night rant from the President. But the most reckless part is how easily he throws around the word "seditious" whenever someone says something he doesn't like. It undermines our democracy and puts people in danger.

BREAKING: Nigel Farage has been reported to police by a former member of his campaign team over claims of falsified election expenses. Given the serious nature of the allegations the Met’s specialist crime group will assess the documents that have been submitted.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:
"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."
That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?
