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.

I have both of these on DVD. Well worth your time if you're of a Lovecraftian persuasion... nicely done with great love and care for genre history.

Our movies of “The Call of Cthulhu” and “The Whisperer in Darkness” are once again available to stream on Amazon prime, at least in the US. And on Tubi, and of course on DVD from our store with fun bonus features!

Over 20.0°C here today in Newfoundland, and for the next couple of days. On 7th October. It ain't anywhere near natural. And with water running short all over the island, it ain't welcome either.

I've never seen Breaking Bad.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

He's not just unfit to be president, he's unfit to be a human being. He’s unfit to be a carbon based life form. He’s a waste of cytoplasm.

Lots of people slagging off a very small press. It's just an ugly look.

If you don't like a zine's submission guidelines, don't submit to them.

Alternatively, slag them off all over social media and make their life a misery for no other reason than you can.

Your choice says more about you than it does about them.

Probably the best public speaker I ever saw. The man had an uncanny ability to cut through bullshit and 'talk truth to power' as they say these days. Back then it was just Jimmy being Jimmy.
