I thought I'd do a grim little thread on a cursed bird. Here it is. It doesn't know it's cursed, and it isn't it's fault, but it is.

In East Slavic folklore, a hare is addressed as "Father Hare" and associated with the sun and the world of the dead.

It is said, hares are bound to the Forest Lord (in later folk-tales — to the Devil) and sprits of the woods.

After a few days huffing eucalyptus balm and lamenting my sinuses ('tis the damn season), I'm back. Back to BlueSky, back to the books, back to the pre-Christmas deadlines!

Very much a WIP, but here is your guide to BlueSky users making waves in Horror in the UK and Ireland.

Drop a comment if I’m missing anyone. Will be adding new names constantly.

After a long but fun weekend of festive lights with the in-laws and brunch with some of my favourite scholars, I'm back at my desk and ready to read! Starting the week off with Passantino's 'Satanic Ritual Abuse in Popular Christian Literature: Why Christians Fall for a Lie Searching for the Truth'.

Finally watched ‘Satan Wants You’ today, a documentary about ‘Michelle Remembers’ and the origin of the Satanic Panic. Mind-blowing, brilliantly crafted, and fascinating to see so many academics featured whose work I’ve spent the last few months immersed in. Already can’t wait to watch it again.
