See the reason the Empress Eel never gets caught is because she absorbs the wisdom of every body she nibbles on. She has had enough eel-takers flesh to know all about their horse head bait, their tricks and traps. The Empress is is corpse-wise and you don’t catch the corpse-wise. - Tom Rudd #VOH

It remains unclear why the council has erected giant wooden carving of phantom monks on Mercury Common. Some say it's for tourism, to remind visitors of the ghosts meant to walk there. Others take the view it as an act of public works warding. Municipal apotropaism. – #MattAdams

Goodnight from Moxham, where Geraldine Moody is drunk on both rhubarb wine and the power of being Queen at the Misrule Feast. Goodnight from Virginia Haydon, wishing she’d ignored the frost and lingered for more kisses with her goose-footed lover. Goodnight from Hookland.

In that hour when the sky moves from nursery pink and blue to a bruised half-light, spirits wake. They walk towards us down alleys made sodium orange. IA legion of invisible things making themselves known in footsteps, in rough bumpings. – Lou Kemp, Hookland artist, 1982

Mice scurry, spooked by wings embarking on midnight forage. Beyond the trees the coyotes yip and banter and small things stay quiet. The moon plays with shadows across the snow, trees becoming spectral, long fingers stretching while stars move through their stories.

In the staff room at lunch, we all commented on how the children were happy with the hard frosts and walking to school in the cold. This seemed to be largely down to a belief it was keeping the Wood Sprite known as Gore Knuckles in hibernation. – Joanna Vickers, diary entry January 6th, 1982
