Says @williamshatner.bsky.social: “Richard Matheson was a quiet genius. He wrote effortlessly and continually. I didn’t know him well but what I did know he was a lovely gentleman and hugely talented. I enjoyed doing his scripts so much and he hit such truths that they still live.”

"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
