My *major* occult discovery POSSESSED, a novel by Rosalie and Edward Synton (real surname Corse-Scott), has a cover! It's out on December 4 - I'm *really* excited for you to read the book and my 5,000 word introduction which gives life to the authors and a critical overview of the novel.

Today on the BBC Archive youtubes, I have mostly been watching THE GHOST HUNTERS from 1975.

Strange goings on, indeed. Benson Herbert is a one.

Yup, I'm getting a 5 hour train, first class, late October in Eastern Europe - costing under £25. In the UK it would be £200 +

For the price of a return ticket to Liverpool to visit my mum, I could have a week in the sun with cocktails. It’s not even a direct train! I crossed the whole of Czechia last year for under £20. This time, I’ll be driving north as apparently, it’s the budget option now.

It's going to be an amazing addition to the #talesoftheweird line-up and thank again to @blpublishing.bsky.social for taking my mad ideas on!

The names of 18,457 children in Gaza brutally murdered by Israel.

This is genocide. The International Association of Genocide Scholars resolution was backed by 86% of members. They say this is genocide.

Israel want to wipe out every child in Gaza so they don't grow up and seek revenge.

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead

It is a bit grey in London this morning, so here is a little golden sun to cheer us all up!

Have a poorly dog today, squeaky stomach all night - not touching her breakfast all all. Got the spare duvet out, we're on the sofa, going to be a day full of cuddles.
