I'm reading Intermezzo for Work Book Club. I'm nearly halfway through and, so far, not one unquiet spirit/séance/uncanny happening. Disappointing.

The new Frankenstein is delicious. GDT is an alchemist who has taken the most wonderful liberties with the brilliant novel I love to hate.

It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.
So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.

A thread of dreamy books I couldn’t buy today because of rent. (I did buy some but not these.)

Thank you (or not) Roald Dahl 🥲
TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED - ROYAL JELLY (1980): All-time horror classic in which Susan George and Timothy West play Albert and Mabel, a couple whose baby daughter is undernourished and sickly. Beekeeper Albert uses his apiary skills to come up with an, erm, unusual feeding solution...

The nanofibres/oil tanker scene in 3 Body Problem is like *that* Ghost Ship scene to the power of at least 12.

Obviously we don't approve of security guards being threatened, but you've got to admire a good old fashioned daylight heist. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was explaining (or trying to explain) Ghostwatch to all the young ‘uns at work this week so I might have a nostalgic viewing tonight. Still haven’t forgiven my brother for not letting me sit in his room on 31 October 1992.

Co-signing this recommendation, especially if you are a Brit Of A Certain Age and read all the spooky books and watched Hammer House of Horror when you were too young.
As we're WELL into spooky season now, might I take this chance to once again recommend my 1970s-set ghost story The Apparition Phase, which first came out in 2020. As I always say, if you like ghosts, chances are you'll like this. Whoooo! etc.

Ancestry has massively updated its DNA data, and I am no longer as northern as I was 🥲
(They explain every time that of course our DNA doesn't change, but their data change and apparently this gives a clearer/more accurate picture.)

Good heavens, I didn't know this fabulous video is on YouTube. It's lovely to see my friends and neighbours Brian and Wendy Froud when they were still so very young! I've spent the last year helping them with a new book (we're not allowed to reveal the subject yet), which will be out in autumn 2026.
"The World of the Dark Crystal" documentary (1983, 1 hour) is available for free on Youtube.

The email has found me running through the reeking crypt, pursued by a gurgle of rotten laughter. I *must* reach the coffin before the sand runs out. I am the last of the team-building exercise still alive, Dom from HR has just been lost to the mechanical spider with eight black garnets for eyes.

I just caught up with this episode of Casefile and whilst it's a fascinating case, what's more fascinating is that the guy in this photo was no older than 19 when this picture was taken. dailyinterlake.com/news/2005/fe...
Pilot holds answers in woman's death
Aged and worn documents in a well-handled arrest-warrant jacket in Flathead County give the outline of one of the most intriguing local unsolved cases of the last century.

It’s an orange #CrochetAway theme and I dug these out from the archive. One of them is the first cardigan I ever made. It’s a bit wonky but I’m fond of it 😊

I love Mary Shelley so much, but Frankenstein is an infuriating slog of a read and Victor is an insufferable arse who should have been despatched immediately by the monster in his University accommodation.

Phew, just had some reassuring results from scary medical tests. A benign diagnosis that can be treated. I think I deserve some yarn 👉🏻👈🏻

Bloods taken, yarn acquired, en route to a big fat delicious vegan lunch.
Today’s plans are: blood/medical tests (👎🏻), yarn shop (👍🏻), fun lunch (🍔), and lit festival talk (📚). A net positive set of plans.
