Oh no, so sorry to hear that.

This sounds great. Signed up👍

I'm reading 'Black Gate Tales', by Paul Draper. It's really quite remarkable, and definitely gets under the skin. I've also just picked up 'Nightmares and Dreamscapes' by Stephen King, so there's a definite short-story vibe this week

I finished 'The Apparition Phase' by Will Maclean yesterday, and was rather blown away by it. I haven't quite recovered, so I think I'm going to dip into the 'Eerie East Anglia' anthology from the British Library 'Tales of the Weird' series for now. I'm an exiled Norfolk lad, after all.

Sadly not, though I did get to a record shop, so day not wasted (read a book for a bit too).

I'm reading 'The Resurrectionist' by A. Rae Dunlop. It's really good fun, and also we had a weekend in Edinburgh recently, so it's bringing back good memories.

I should probably make it clear, for legal reasons, that we didn't go grave-robbing in Edinburgh; not those kind of memories.

Got this on the TBR pile/mountain. Just visiting Edinburgh, so I think I may promote it to top of the list.

I'm reading 'The Book of Witching', by C. J. Cooke. I've also just bought 'Halloweird' and 'Illusions of Presence', both edited by Johnny Mains; so I have spooky short stories covered for the moment.

I'm reading 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson. I'm going to read 'The Book of Witching' by C. J. Cooke next, I think, to keep the dark October vibe going.

Morning Womble, I'm reading 'The Haunting of Hill House', by Shirley Jackson, so catching up on an old classic. Yesterday I finished 'Withered Hill' by David Barnet, which was a great piece of 'folk horror'.

Having a beer, watching 'Penny Dreadful' with my partner, with the cat snoring nearby. Pretty lucky really.

Saw there was a re-release. Didn't twig why. Clucking Bell...
