As a vaguely goth-adjacent person, Halloween is weird. On the negative side, super drug have sold out of my preferred make up colours. On the positive, gym class playlists this week are back-to-back bangers.

Happy Halloween!

Keep a close eye out today for witches being driven around the countryside by their root vegetable chauffeurs in a hollowed out marrow car.

I have a spooky story on my favourite podcast! Go and have a listen wherever you get your podcasts (and then go deep dive through their back catalogue because you will absolutely get addicted).🖤🖤🖤
Our final "Trilogy of Terror" for Haunting Season 2025 is OUT NOW! 🖤

Featuring 'Up At The Cross Roads By Tants Farm' by Holly Barratt, 'The Secrets The Snow Keeps' by Sarah Harrison, and Eleanor's story 'Wraiths of Helmand', a harrowing exploration of memory and trauma, we hope you enjoy!

I get untold pleasure from referring to Antonio Banderas and Enrique Iglesias as Tony Flags and Henry Churches

This is also a little bit like working for a university tbh
everyone: wow being a librarian is so cool you just get to read books all day

your local librarian: today I had to break up a knife fight in the encyclopedia section

I am unsure how this happened but I just received a form rejection from a literary journal I haven't even submitted to. This is a new low point.

Today I learned that Seal was singing "Kiss from a rose on the grey" and not, as I quite reasonably assumed, "kiss from a rose on the GRAVE."

Current reading. I grew up not far from a large cemetery and used to spend hours happily reading headstones. It wasn't a morbid thing at all, just a fascination with the tiny details of people's lives and the missing stories in between.

So - now I have some followers and not just shouting into the void: hello!
I shall think of something more interesting to say shortly. In the meantime, read my stories. Or don't. Whatever.... hollyebarratt.wixsite.com/holly-barrat...
