A warm welcome to my new followers! I post images of weird, supernatural, ghostly and science fiction books from Victorian times to the early 20th century. If it’s strange, it’s probably on one of my shelves.

I went searching for the cover artwork and found that @memizon.bsky.social posted it on Twitter a few years ago.

Front cover of 'Spookerisms: 25 weird and eerie happenings easily re-told as one's own experiences' by Elliott O'Donnell. Above the title and description on the cover is a bevy of traditional white sheet draped ghosts.

Dochter van een Stasi-onderknuppel, dan krijg je dat.

Politici beoordelen op wat ze zeggen, laat me niet lachen. Ze verkopen je gouden bergen.

Maar in de praktijk doen ze niets.

Eerst Duitsland naar de verdommenis helpen en nu ook Oost-Europa? Merkel is echt een schandvlek.

Ik geloot er geen snars van dat VOLT voor de gewone mensen goede intenties heeft. Het ziet de EU als een speeltuin voor de boven ons gestelden waar Jan met de pet het gelach mag betalen.
