S is for Starve Acre in my #folkhorroralphabet a linocut series inspired by folk horror tinged books, films and music. The novel was a reading highlight of last year, a chilling story of grief and desperation in a rural setting.

Did not enjoy my morning run along the seafront. Not a jot.

R is for a Robin Redbreast from my #folkhorroralphabet inspired by the 1970 Play for Today short film. It manages to fuse rural isolation, Pagan ritual and feminism in a taut seventy minutes with a slow-build ominous creeping dread.

Q is for Quarantine from my Folk Horror Alphabet.

‘Quarantine’ (2018) is a wonderful folk horror tinged stop motion film ‘a post Brexit pagan dance fantasy about a troupe of Morris-dancing badgers…’

Available to watch on the BFI website.

O is for Owl Service from my linocut #folkhorroralphabet inspired by the 1967 novel by Alan Garner which he adapted from Welsh folklore. There’s a television series from 1969 which holds up surprisingly well.

Driven from Margate to Clacton and back again for a funeral today. The car heater stopped working on the way home.

I’ve had better days.

N is for Night Tide (1961) from my linocut #folkhorroralphabet an early Dennis Hopper film directed by Curtis Harrington about a woman called Mora who might be a mermaid. The film has an eerie carnival/boardwalk setting and atmosphere to match.

The *weighting* of this one — the heavy black head only just balanced by the hips, and that splendid ink-stained spotting of white up the hands, the contrasting angles of movement: head lifting, horns curling away, hands curled but in motion, all the potential twist of movement

I is for ‘Incubus’ in my #folkhorroralphabet a 1966 film starring a young William Shatner. A slow-build horror set on a seemingly idyllic island inhabited by demons that prey on the vain and self-centred. They’d have a field day on social media.

P is for Panna a Netvor in my linocut #folkhorroralphabet a Czechoslovak adaptation of the Beauty and the Beast story from 1978. It’s a dark foreboding gothic interpretation with the beast portrayed as a tortured humanoid bird creature.
