We open ‘At the Threshold’ this Thursday 30 October, 6-8pm. Curated in conjunction with CAMP artists organisation, the show is an intriguing, unsettling, amusing, inclusive journey into the folkloric and esoteric - fieldsystem.co.uk/events-2-1/a...

What did people make of #Him? Was it the GOAT?

To celebrate the release of my book F*cked Up Fairy Tales, please request the print, ebook, and audio from your local library right meow!

Be proud of how far you've come, even if you're not where you want to be yet 🥰

Woke up to a nip in the air. Season is turning, perfect timing for this contributor's copy of the Absolute Zero anthology to arrive! If you're up for a collection of genuine chills, you can grab yours at: deadskypublishing.com/portfolio-it...

What a line up!

Yeh I like this one is proudly on my shelf.

OK let's see what all the fuss is about 😀

Out review of Christina Alden & Alex Patterson's new album "Safe Travels": "It is like the river of your thoughts that flow when you see a beautiful landscape or share a story with your family." folk-phenomena.co.uk/2025/06/24/a... #safetravels #christinaalden #folk #alexpatterson #album #review

For the new issue of @prospectmagazine.co.uk, out this week, I've been discussing Cornish folk horror with some excellent writers including @samkhorton.bsky.social, @janejohnsonbakrim.bsky.social, Jodie Matthews and @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/culture/7049...

New interview. Rachel asked some great questions - I love it when interviewers follow their own interests instead of sticking to standard-issue questions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG1R... #Minoan #paganism #PaganSky #spirituality #polytheism

If you think they look good online, they look even better in real life. Thanks @ciaraioch.bsky.social for these beautiful pieces of inspiration. Manannán Mac Lir and the Morrigan both get a mention in my book (which I'm close to finishing up now) so I was really drawn to these pieces. 💚

If you like your gentle kind of folk, this one is worth a listen.

Danny Boyle and Alex Garlands, "28 Years Later" is more than a worthy sequel. An interesting glimpse into what different humans define as safety. Most of all its emotional, and reminds us that, especially when we forget, kindness, love and enquiry against ignorance is a needed path. Loved this one.

I don't have much music news as I'm doing rehab on my poorly hand. BUT This is keeping me focused & healthy. £513 pledged for my 10km + for the Sheffield Palestine Women's Scholarship Fund. Thank you. Keep sharing x donate.giveasyoulive.com/fundraising/... #Palestine #Peace #Justice #Education

Good luck Mike, I'll take a look.

Follow along with us as we produce a streaming, paranormal slasher horror series! Currently well into pre-production #RedFlag #horror #horrorfans

Any fans of Sunshine? I do think one of Danny Boyle's best.
