My folk horror, The Woodcutter, features a cottage which holds spores of ergot which can cause all sorts of neurological issues, particularly hallucinatory but not saying anything else as it gives it away. It is a particularly useful fungi for misdirection! #HorrorWritersChat

“I love authors with the visionary prowess to not only reimagine history, but write it so convincingly that I would happily swear these stories to be the true events.

It is clear the lead author and editor took great care with selecting each inclusion, and I hold great respect for every culture that was given a moment to shine.“

I’m re-reading Thomas Paine’s The American Crisis pamphlets. I think today he would write much the same as he did then, but instead of writing against the tyranny of the British government, he would be writing against the tyranny of the American government he so fervently fought to usher in.

Quote from Thomas Paine. “Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it.”
