The above inspired by reading ‘The Penguin Book of Demons’ which I bought at the East Bristol Bookshop yesterday afternoon. A very cool shop with lots of chapbooks, zines and poetry, and a whole shelf of well chosen ‘weird’.

Just been in town to spend my pocket money. Might buy a budget game for my Commodore 64, too.

I've got the urge to write a proper old skool ghost story for Christmas. Some wandering in the gloom should help generate process ideas. Then I need to find the time and energy to sit down and write it.

I'm a bit lukewarm on Fremlin based on the stories in the previous collection I read but ‘Tuesday's Child’ in this... Crikey. A man whose wife is slowly dying meets his girlfriend every week at the disco where they turn themselves on by discussing her condition, revelling in their own good health.

Now watching: ‘Shades of Darkness: Afterward’, 1983, based on an Edith Wharton story. “I don't wanna have to drive ten miles to see someone else's ghost. I want one of my own right here on the premises.”
