Loving this antho from Kayleigh Dobbs & @kozeniewski.bsky.social. A few more stories left but delighted by what I've found, a trope turned inside out - must be a full moon. Starting with the utterly perfect Vargsangen by @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, it continues to deliver - right, back to it 🐺

Having been a long-time fan of The Wicker Man, and having read the novelisation, I've finally got round to reading the book that started it all - David Pinner's Ritual. About 1/3 of the way in.

#unbridled flesh, slipped from bone, contents eased into a telling of fortune, of wyrd, of the path to be taken by those who remain, a flock of sacrificial lambs waiting in turn to be shorn of humanity, each an offering to the harvest of the wolf moon. #vss365 #unbridle

THE SKIN WE FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE IN. @underbellybooks.bsky.social This is my third collection, and it’ll be a mix of horror, magical realism, and literary stories. Dark to light. I also have more news coming about something else… but can’t say just yet. Suffice to say, I’m back! #BookSky

We were Children of The Hum. We were pylon pilgrims. Each transmission tower was a temporary temple, a station in the electric ley of the land. We marched towards them in a form of rapture that must have scared. the shit out of any outside observers. – Tattoo Labyrinth Dave, ex-Pylon Person

First few pages of Harrowfield written. A new folk horror novel. It's going to be fun, especially if it includes some bizarre,ritual imagery that popped into my head this morning 😁

Those cold fields of winter – ploughed, harrowed and frost-cracked – leak ghosts. To walk them is to walk with escaped temporal shades. As you fill you pockets with flint tools, even an arrowhead, you fill your head with dead whispers. – #DAKilroy

Well, I didn't have to wait long for my pitch. Whilst they liked it, turns out they don't want that period. Sigh. But I have a story I want to tell so not a wasted effort!

I have a plan for an Anglo-Saxon/Viking horror novel. It has been pitched (now months to wait) but I intend to write it after doing all that research and outline - something alien to me as a pantser!
