Film Time!
Watched Tokuzō Tanaka's THE SNOW WOMAN (1968). Reckon it would make a decent double-bill with Erik Blomberg's The White Reindeer, two folkloric tales centred on a doomed romance between a standard fella and a badass frosty succubus. Didn't expect to be weeping full tears by the end...

Revisited TUMBBAD (2018). An Indian cautionary tale of generational greed involving a secret source of limitless treasure. The film occasionally drags following a wonderfully macabre Brothers Grimm-esque opening, but explodes into life whenever the magic money pit is revealed...

Next telly job locked in (a spooky one too!), back to Wales. Glad to hear the Cardiff spare room I usually rent is still available, always a faff having to make a good impression on new people and convince them to have me lurking around their home for a few months. A faff..!

I'm getting quite close to having the next collection, 'Thin Places in Hard Concrete', prepped for publication. If you're one of those interesting small presses that sometimes publishes collections of weird fiction and you might be interested in publishing mine, do let me know.
Between them ‘Municipal Gothic’ and ‘Intervals of Darkness’ have 27 stories full of haunted buildings, haunted people, and working class weirdness. Obviously *I* think they're great – but so do strangers who owe me nothing!

That time I pilfered the Italian merchant from Jan van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait and captured him in lino print as a floating phantom. No one bought it but I had fun...
