This weekend Mum and I went to the Miners' Strike exhibition at Cardiff museum. Very interesting, harrowing in places, and a reminder that the brutality of our current political moment has rarely been far from the surface.

In Welsh mythology, the Cŵn Annwn are spectral hounds commanded by the king of the otherworld.
In "White Shapes in Snow" (New Welsh Reader 125), they show up to wreak revenge on an abuser and his complicit butty.

Does Blodeuwedd count? I think so -- she may not have struck the killing blow herself, but she was certainly integral to the murder. Created purely to be a wife, she forces her way out of the role made for her -- and if violence is the only means she can imagine, well, look at who made her.

There's also "Crumbs", from New Welsh Reader #134. The ghostly children might be creepy, self-abnegation might be the real horror. newwelshreview.com/product/new-...

I've written quite a few things with ghosts. We associate Y Fari Lwyd with Christmas and New Year, but she might also put in an appearance on Hen Galan -- Jan 13th. My ghost story "Grey Mary" is inspired by her and can be read for free: www.patreon.com/posts/grey-m....

The last two evenings, I've been accompanied on my walks home by an incredibly bright sliver of crescent moon. The picture doesn't really do it justice, but I wanted to remember it
