More Denham Tracts. The most interesting thing about this list of fairies is that we don't know what a lot of the names on it refer to. The creatures that have known folklore behind them, I've drawn in warm colors. The names we can only speculate about, I've drawn in cool colors.

Looks more and more like the raid in Chicago was more than just a fascist terror raid but the use of federal violence to help a bank empty a building they held in receivership.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

This is hard to explain, but 28 Years Later gives me hope that my proposed "orc horror" genre could happen. You really can do brand new things with monster horror.
