"Rise of Krampus" is out!
1862. It’s after visiting hours at the Cape Misfortune Asylum - but a visitor has turned up nonetheless. Is he the terrifying Krampus of local folklore - or a madman escaped from the isolation ward? Either way, his story is beyond belief!

Happy Samhain, this sacred festival has been cheapened into scary thrills and plastic tat. The ancient festival is about illness and death, the ancestors and the spirits that haunt our minds and our land. As we descend to the dark, let us embrace it #dartmoor #devon #halloween #samhain #photography

The Long Neolithic is an ongoing conversation. The stones talk between themselves, slow exchange across centuries. The stones talk to the landscape and of course, the stones talk to us. Answering back may be the minimum level of politeness. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Out now, The Witch’s Journey, a dark fairytale that is also an uplifting coming-of-age story, by American author Keith Miller. He describes it as “a dark fairytale embroidered with fairytales, full of sorrows and terrors, heartbreaks and delights, chocolates and mayhem and magic.”
