Day one of sadly only two at the Bestwood Lodge. Turns out it is reputed to be a tad haunted... Top 5 most haunted hotels in Britain, even! I'll hopefully get some extra time to explore later :)

Last place I stayed this nice was Château Rhianfa, I wonder if Bestwood Lodge is haunted too?

I was a guest on the podcast Opening the Door for their spooky season content, giving a run down of Black Dogs of Britain and some other fun folklore.

The Intrusive Thoughts are telling me to do the first story in this on a Podcast, with some full on Yorkshire accents for the characters...

Such a backlog right now...

BUT I SHALL GET TO IT, AND IT WILL BE GLORIOUS.

Time for a trip to Haunted Derby!

A great spooky tourism destination, and with some incredible tales of phantoms to be found. Not least of all the compelling story of John Crossland, and the good reason he has to not want to cross over...

Past Luke did good, and had stashed my favourite supermarket coffee in the fridge before the weekend. Time to finish up a podcast!

I'm missing the casual decadence of a packet of crisps, a cream filled donut, and a "coffee" that's 90% sugar with extra syrup on top being devoured as a random treat X_X

The bunting is a nice touch! In Leeds for a nerd event tomorrow, expanded into a small writing retreat while I'm here anyway :)

Dead Reset is an absolute bargain at £13!

Into the collection with you, for some Spooky Season fun :D

I would not call this a "fun" time, but I found it to be an intense worthwhile one.

Some horror movies are a fun harmless ride with a jump scare every 10 minutes or so that wrap up neatly. This is not that type of horror movie.
The Long Walk is a cruel ordeal that wants you to face some harsh questions about humanity and morality, doing a pretty effective job of it too!

IT'S ALIVE!

So, too, is my folklore podcast after a hiatus. We have some worrying inspiration for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, all kinds of revenant corpses, and even a story about a gibbet that haunts through to the modern day.

Not necessarily a bad thing! Just a realisation.

Perfectly fine spooky season fun. Low in scares and stakes, fantastic in production value.

You know what I've realised?

These aren't horror movies.

They're superhero movies.

The movie Warrens (don't Google the real Warrens...) hop from adventure to adventure, saving people from the perils of evil with a mix of earnest bravery and some superpowers to back it up.

While my enthusiasm is not here with me, I AM at the gym.

I'd definitely feel bad if I skipped it, so powering through as best I can :)

Including one of my dumbest, wildest concepts having a breakthrough!

I still need to fully get on top of my energy levels, and find enough time to really get stuck in, but it's feeling good :D

Thursday will be 4 weeks of treatment for diabetes.

I'm starting to get some real energy back, and enthusiasm for working on an assortment of scripts (plus other projects...) that have been on the back burner for a while.

I'd missed this until now, I'd seen a recommendation for it but forgotten until it popped up in my recommendations.

It's pretty intense! Only up to episode two, but the train...

Possibly not for a casual audience :P
