"This exhibition clearly understands its market. I wonder who might be behind it, and where the exhibits have come from... among the items displayed in London, one name crops up time and again in correspondence with other killers..." -- by @davidkerekes.bsky.social for the @headpress.com blog.

Here is a new piece of mine on the serial killer world tour exhibition, prior to its Berlin leg in August. It is an excerpt of a long form essay which will appear later on.

I’ve been making my way through the wonderful Ghost of an Idea: Hauntology, Folk Horror and the Spectre of Nostalgia (William Burns). Lovely discoveries as I float through a summer haze, cueing up tunes matching the vibe. I’ve captured the film recommendations in a letterboxd list here boxd.it/I4R8i

Travelling. Homeward bound. #cafe #trainstation #wall

Earlier this year, we closed EXIT Press. We were a small press publishing work on the #weird and the eerie, the haunted and the lost, the strange and the unexplained, the stuck and the broken, and finding a way out of this mess. We still have loads of zines... #zines #poetry #writing #smallpress

Always nice to do an event, even nicer to have someone enjoy it so much they review it. Thank you, Richard Asplin! letsgetthebannedbacktogether.uk/drag-me-to-h...

With Xmas fast approaching you might be thinking of what to buy the Nigel Kneale/folk horror/archive TV fan in your life. How about The Book of Beasts? Available from all good bookshops, but if you buy it from headpress.com/product/the-... you can also get the Beastabix stand up figures.

We're delighted to be publishing another book by the mighty Chris Alexander (author of Corman/Poe): Art! Trash! Terror! Join Chris, Brett Leonard, and @thejoedante.bsky.social at Dark Delicacies in January for the official book launch and signing: darkdel.com/store/p3235/...

Charity shop book finds this weekend. #books #pulpbook #horror #undead

Very cool. You gotta be in it too win it!

Thank you to Psychogeographic Review for this review of William Burns' Ghost of an Idea: 'deeply researched', 'comprehensive', and of interest to those into film and music of a hauntological nature... psychogeographicreview.com/the-ghost-of...

Thank you to all who came to this - great turnout and questions 🙏

Tomorrow at @conwayhall.bsky.social! Online tickets still available here: www.conwayhall.org.uk/whats-on/eve...
