@generalwitch.bsky.social I’m just watching this on BBC iPlayer and thought you guys might enjoy it, Nicholas Lyndhurst just popped up.

Found a stock library with some great stills from films we’ve covered before, so it’s a good excuse to revisit a few classics. For example, why not seek out episode 20 where we talked about ‘Frenzy’. pod.link/1547179456/e...

Having my story 'Neck Ek' published by @generalwitch.bsky.social has encouraged me to push out the rest of my little horrors; I'm sitting on a pile of stories between 1000-3500, and I aim to get them out there #horror #writing #shortstories

Our Samhain horror 'zine is out now:

76 pages of fresh nightmares, haunted nostalgia, and British strangeness. A fine fireside read for the turning of the year.

Our designer David has a game called fantasy classics, where he chooses books he thinks should be published as classics. With him all this way on this one.

Look out for an episode of our Working Class Library podcast about it, featuring the great novelist and Mole fan David Nicholls, coming soon.
