Here's a splendid spooky book that your children will want to read - and so will you!

These are deservedly flying off the shelves. Or @slipperyjack.bsky.social's garage. Whatever. Either way you should definitely buy this book and you won't regret adding a defacement for extra unique art joy.
Cor, all sold out of the standard defacements. I'll set to work on a second batch, ready to go live on Friday 26th Sept ✨👍...
Punch defacement completed. Just getting a few more copies ready before the first sales push tomorrow...

A recent trip to Scarborough gave me the chance to check out both of the town's ghost walks.
The Black Widow Tour and The Scarborough Ghost Walk are both excellent and presented in quite different styles so are happily unique too, even when the stories told cross over.
I recommend them both!
