Writer, editor, dog walker. Manager of the band yourgardenday. Autistic so sometimes over-enthusiastic. Huge fan of all things horror, folklore, and dark comedy. Book “The Devil’s Dastard”currently in progress. https://ko-fi.com/kayeingliswriter
Pinned
Now that I’ve worked out how to pin a post… No DMs unless I know you well/frequently interact with you, or it’s a genuine writing/editing opportunity. I’m autistic and find small talk scary IRL so won’t do it here. Thank you for respecting my wishes.

Today I have been mostly working on 'Danger No Swimming' signs in the workshop, which will start to ship next week. Thanks for all the pre-orders after Reece Shearsmith featured it on Taskmaster a few weeks ago. Just a handful left of each size to order in time for Xmas.

This is Neville Newby. I think he’s gobbled up Spiderella’s Daughter as there’s no sign of her today.

I always wanted Rik Mayall to read me a bedtime story, after he did “George’s Marvellous Medicine”. I still hear him saying, with great relish, “A puckered-up mouth like a dog’s bottom” every time I see a dog’s bottom. Which is quite a lot.
GRIM TALES (1989): Rik Mayall is magnificenly unhinged (of course!) as the storyteller in this glorious children's show, performing the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales like a live action Looney Tune. Written by Anne Caulfield and Anthony (Dramarama, Robin of Sherwood, Crime Traveller) Horowitz.

I’ve always found James Bond to be James Boring. I’d much rather have a drink with Russel (a pussyfoot, of course).
Who cares about James Bond? Why not go for a spy who is also a serial killer? Meet Russel Stickles...

Come take me back to the trees, wooden people.
People don't like to talk about the time when the trees of Whirlow Wood grew wooden people to send as emissaries to Barwell village. People don't talk about the Treaty of the Axe. The ongoing offerings. – Ruth Hyde #VOH

I’ll be exploring the witch craze in London on Monday 17th at the Last Tuesday society ( Viktor Wynd Museum) in hackney. There’ll be a performance, talk and cocktails in the spooky environs of this unique venue. Come! Limited spaces.

Amen.
AI usually means Arseholes Involved. It’s a thieving, hollowing and unethical beast of a thing. It has no place in an ethical, decent society. It has no place in Hookland and never will.

Today is St. Martin's Day, Old Halloween! 🍂
Marking the end of harvest/start of winter, it is a liminal time for bonfires, lantern processions, feasts and wine.
Welsh folklore tells us to watch out for eerie omens: owls hoot, meteors fall & the Cŵn Annwn (spectral hounds) roam.

When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

This is what gets me. My grandpa didn't end up deaf, suffer alopecia, and have permanent damage to his legs, and my grandad didn't end up with PTSD so bad he was in and out of hospital for the sake of flag shaggers.
The worst thing about flags and poppies being stolen as performative tokens by cunts, is the implication that the members of my own family who fought and died over the last century or so were corned-beef nostalgists who mainly climbed into Lancasters and foxholes to stick it to the libs.

I'm hoping to have one more batch of Professionally Defaced copies available on the shop before Christmas, watch this space 👁️...
@slipperyjack.bsky.social's TALES ACCURSED: A FOLK HORROR ANTHOLOGY is a resplendent tome of weird & horror tales by the old masters. His woodcut-style lino art evokes a simpler, scarier time. Best of all, this edition is "professionally defaced" with a gorgeous remarque of the Mari Lwyd!

Convincing you to read my new novella by the first few sentences. Share yours if you want!

I had a writing tutor who called this "the Albert Hall" test. It really works and I need to make sure I do it with everything I write.
Unfortunately I discovered a few years ago that reading a book out loud really helps when you’re doing that last pass and polishing the language.

So if you meet me in the next days and my voice is scratchy, it’s because I am just about to turn in a book.
