Why was it all the cool tie ins had such weird flavours? I’m still traumatised from having to buy weetabix to get those Dr Who and Asterix cut outs. It was all a plot to punish nerdy kids, from the same adults that brought us the Satanic Panic

I hope the day wasn’t too terrible. I went through the same early this year. Words are pretty useless but friends and family will be there for you. All the best

A must read, not just for the “history of horror” aspect. My first go at Machen left a feeling of profound unease that lasted, well, for a looong time. The antagonists aren’t cosmic horrors- they are the rich roots of our own heritage. They are not friendly, and they are just a “nail scratch” away.

The good news is it’s like the anti-beer. If you can’t stomach Brewdog, then you know you have a decent taste for a pint

Drought = no water
No water = no beer and no uisge
No beer and no uisge = nothing else to do on a Saturday night except attack the Romans….

Someone should write a thesis on why 1950s, 1960s and 70s films are a bit more historically accurate, and what that says about us just now….post truth society indeed. I won’t waste time on this, will watch Helen of Troy from 1956 instead. At least that’s not relentlessly BROOOOOWWWWWN

Hanna and Barbera were clearly time travelling political satirists. Was their 2026 annual not called “The Big Shitshow House of Fun?”

Thank you for this, excellent reading…is there any hint as to why the bottled spirits have a “shelf life”, whether 100 years or 1000, before the ritual ceases to be binding?
