In East Slavic lore, cornflowers are associated with rusalkas. In summer, when these flowers are in bloom, rusalkas can be seen dancing in the fields. So if you see a lady with a cornflower crown on her head – run. And in case you forgot: rusalkas are dead girls. #folkyfriday #dailyspooklore

Surprisingly, I’ve never watched #TwinPeaks but Lynch’s death spurred us to watch the full run. There’s a lot to be said, not all of it positive, but I do love how #Lynch manages to make everything on the screen seem significant, even if only obscurely so. Twin Peaks (David Lynch, 1990-2017)

In 2005 I visited Auschwitz and I still think of the palpable feeling of horror and despair that rose from the ground like cold fog. This is the wall where political prisoners were summarily executed before they could organise their fellow prisoners. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Mike Ashley’s Queens of the Abyss is one of my favourite Tales of the Weird collections so I was really pleased to see that the latest edition, Weird Sisters, is more stories from often-overlooked women writers. @BL_Publishing #weird #horror #fiction
