I've been waiting for this book for a long time! "Hollywood Haunts The World: An Investigation into the Cinema of Occulted Taboos" It looks at how fringe and so-called transgressive ideas on everything from Freud, to Theosophy, to UFOs, etc are reflected in our popular films.

We’re crushed to hear of the tragic death of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. In his wide-ranging filmmaking career, Mr. Reiner made an indelible mark on the horror genre with his 1990 film MISERY. We mourn his passing and send our condolences to his loved ones.

So thrilled to see @helleborezine.bsky.social's excellent TALES OF OCCULT BRITAIN getting a deservedly excellent review in SFX magazine, and basically blown away by this shout-out. Yes, folklore is anti-fascist, yes, RE-ENCHANTMENT IS RESISTANCE, yes, yes, yes ✨
Image of a gate covering an old mine shaft. In front is an image of the front cover of Hellebore's Tales From Occult Britain, and a snippet from a review which reads: 'Though the quality is high, the standout is the final story in the collection. Ally Wilkes's 'Wild Edric's Ride' doesn't just update an ancient myth; it imbues it with purpose, asking: if a folkloric hero were summoned today to protect the nation, what would he truly be fighting for?
