Loved watching Wren's Nest by @hiddenbritain.bsky.social at Switched On in Whitby. Eerie television interruptions and broken soundscapes that morph into a surprisingly effective ghost story.

Another excellent book from @influxpress.bsky.social

In less than 90 pages, I was blown away by Malcolm Devlin's writing. A perfect slice of folk horror that left me wanting more. #BookRecommendations
Book cover of Engines Beneath Us by Malcolm Devlin. At the top of the cover sits a row of identical houses. Beneath it are a number of orange cogs against a black background. One cog looks like an eye staring back at the reader.

Great to see Chlorine by Jade Song make the list. Admittedly, I bought it based on the cover. But what a cover! And what a story! I loved it. 🧜‍♀️💦
Book cover of Chlorine by Jade Song. There is what appears to be a green fish tail with yellow scales diving into a huge water splash in the centre with a big yellow circle above. The tail has red drops at the end dripping into the water, and there is a human hand reaching up from the splash.

Book cover of Saltburn by Drew Gummerson. A seal is sat with a beach ball under a blue beach umbrella. There are bright red and white stripes like a sunburst in the background.

Just taken my seat for the @scarredforlife.bsky.social Folk Horror Special in Glossop. Hope I don't get dripped on by the Blood on Satan's Claw...

Happy Birthday David Cronenberg! 🎈📽

"Everybody's a mad scientist, and life is their lab. We're all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos."

Just finished reading The Stone Tide by @garetherees.bsky.social

Themes of trauma, loss, the occult, and memories are weaved together into the stories of Aleister Crowley, John Logie Baird and Charles Dawson!

Excited to have found this #PaperbacksFromHell book in a charity shop today. Any Robert McCammon fans out there?

Book cover of They Thirst by Robert McCammon. The cover shows a golden cross rising against a dark background. Reflected inside the cross is a large fanged mouth piercing the neck of a woman.

First book read in 2025 was MILD VERTIGO by Mieko Kanai from the always brilliant @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

A story in which very little happens and also everything happens. A fantastic translation from Polly Barton. Loved it! 📚🙌

Creatures! Martians! Myths!

The Lost Worlds of Ray Harryhausen exhibition at Sale Waterside is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

It has artwork ranging from early character designs and storyboard sketches, to detailed diagrams and three-dimensional models.
Cackling model Skeleton holds a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, ready to fight. A figure of a tubby green Cyclops faces the viewer. His one eye staring wistfully into the distance.

Cover of Chill Tidings book. It is a black and white cover - it has an old fashioned door with lamps to each side and a hand shaped knocker with a finger pointing down to a wreath, on a snowy night.
