Another vintage book illustration from a "Spooky Booky" series on my old "GOBI -Great Old Book Illustrations" Twitter account.

#AScareADay Day 8 – The Truth, The Whole Truth, And Nothing but the Truth by Rhoda Broughton.

A ghost story told through letters today. The tone shift from the everyday exchanges to the terrible events in the house worked really well I thought.

Concluding? Oh please! The Phantasmal Symposium’s work is eternal, as is the thirst for alive souls! We are simply twirling away elsewhere…

#AScareADay - Day 8 - Today's short story is epistolary and I really enjoyed it! Rhoda Broughton is worth a read. My response to it is non-fiction this time, in honour of the title, with some…

Meet Talia Wall and her dystopian vampire series, 'Until Equinox' trilogy! Books 1&2 are out now, and Book 3 is coming soon. #VampireBooks #DystopianBooks #SFF #AuthorSpotlight #AuthorInterview

(81) School of the Damned (2019) dir. Peter Vincent

I've seen so few UK horror films this challenge! This one has strong Demon Headmaster vibes which I loved as a kid, so giving it a go.

Day 6 of #AScareADay and we're on with another poem! This time it's Emily Bronte with a technically untitled poem (I think) about a mysterious stranger and his basilisk eye...

I recorded it with my new mic so better sound quality!

A weary traveller enters a warm cottage- yet one look at his eyes turns comfort to dread. There’s something not quite human in that “ghastly fair” face…& all are glad when he hides it again. #AScareADay Read Emily Brontë’s ‘And now the house dog stretched once more’

#AScareADay - Day 7 - Today's scare is not really a scare, but a lovely sad ghost story about love and loss. I wrote a short piece on similar themes.

First week of a brand new month, and my top interview so far is Sandra Bond's!

Sandra's interview is here, where we spotlit her latest novel, THREE MEN IN ORBIT. Find out if her work is your cup of tea! (She's a fellow Brit)

(80) Вурдалаки / Vamps (2017) dir. Sergey Ginzburg

Basically, the Russian Orthodox version of Dracula but with strong Sommers' Van Helsing vibes in parts, with action! romance! (un)dead kids! and evil Turks.

I really hate doing this, but when I had my breakdown last month, I took two weeks off from work, and they didn't pay me for my time off, and I am broke.

If you find it in your heart to tip even the minimum amount then I would be enternally grateful

I'm trying to post every day in response to the challenge's story/poem for that day. Sometimes fiction, sometimes longer thoughts, folklore, films.

Tennyson, "The Kraken"
Mythical creatures should remain undisturbed, sleeping in the darkness of their lairs and in the depths of human imagination - else, once roused, they cannot endure the light of devastating reason.
[Influencing me: Poe, "Sonnet--To Science"; Yeats, "The Realists"]

Day 5 of #AScareADay and it was a lovely little poem 'The Kraken' by Alfred Tennyson.

A short, sweet and sad one.

I did a little reading

#AScareADay - Day 5 - A short little poem today, by Alfred Lord Tennyson. For my creative response, I thought I would share a little short piece I wrote a while ago, called Sea Skins. It's not a kraken, but it's about bodies and changes,…
