Thank you very much to @lilithepunk.bsky.social for this beautiful copy of Household Lore, which includes a surprisingly practical guide to keeping out Draculas. Hopefully @loremen.bsky.social will be vampire-free by 2026.

It's true, other 10% is in Readers Digest
I listen to a lot of @loremen.bsky.social and they're always talking about pamphlets (or "pamfs" to use the standard jargon). Apparently 90% of weird British folklore was published in pamphlet form.

The boys discover a peculiar cult boasting not one, but two Jesuses. Yowzah! Must be pretty awkward at Christmas. James whisks Alasdair off to the commune of the Agapemonites: a scandalous Victorian sect nestled in the sauciest region of Somerset. (Well, a few miles north of Taunton.)
