Goodnight from Hookland, as Dr Maurice Desmond hides in his local after endless media calls about bear sightings in The Wivel. Goodnight from Hookminster, where Dean Sampson has licensed three new members of the College of Exorcists in the crypt, & now stands a round in The Veil & Vixen. Goodnight.

Goodnight from Brimford Power Station, its cooling towers busy releasing water vapour clouds which twist into the phantoms of a thousand stampeding mares. Goodnight from Charlie Hook, rubbing the scar gifted by Harrowhound bite and honouring its story. Goodnight from Hookland.

Seized by the desire to do a Warhammer 40k fishing game. Massive rusting cybergothic space trawlers dragging chaos-warped gigawhales out of the stygian abyss of the ocean. Tyranid shark-fleets. Eldar anglers with wraith bone fishing rods and monofilament lines. Orks with shotguns like Withnail.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Not dabbled in such matters in decades.... I still may have a collection of UK commemorative collectors' sets from the 70s in a wardrobe somewhere.

Goodnight from Crowstone Ranges, night sounding with mechanical creaks of spectral armour. Goodnight from The Footloose, tonight at Barmwell, where Jack Birch calms the hellhounds, ghostly squaddies sing Great War Music Hall numbers in the Saloon, & Lucy Wilkie admires their fine, if rustic, voices.

Goodnight from band practice for the Tower Block Saints, where a poltergeist sympathetic to the neighbours keeps on pulling on amplifier plugs. Goodnight from Emma Hartley, unable to express why her daughters’ tales of an acorn-headed man scare her so much. Goodnight from Hookland.

Good Evening all. Supper all but ready, as I await GoodLadyWife s return from choir. Hookland post is prepared, though sadly not from The Cock, Hampton Wells, on account of rodentine plague in the Church Rooms & manifestation of gout in the author's big toe joint. Malign presences need no spirits!

The spirit of the stairs told in tug at clothing, sudden rush of jasmine perfume or laughter of children. Told in tobacco fug, in an undeniable, audible wheezing. Told in whispered curse or snide tutting. Told in sudden shove. Staircase spirits are rarely less than bold. – #CJosiffe, 1982 #Ghosts

Not really sure I'd trust anything this courier might bring me, to be honest....
On the side of a white van, a blue & black logo, comprising a blue circle, surrounded by white from which a blue stylised wing sticks out to the right. Surrounding the inner, blue, circle is a stylised black ring (or maybe a pot). In blue capital letters is the word "Pandora's" below which, in wider black capital keyters, is the wourd "Courier". Some distance below, in black sentence case lettering "Distance is just a word". Do these people not know their Greek mythology?

Goodnight @hookland.bsky.social from Rod Hunter, sat by candlelight through latest power cut, almost used to impossible sound of radio coming through wall from shuttered & dust-sheeted house of late neighbour. Goodnight from Jamie Ash, fleeing alleywards, house-breaking interrupted by sudden music.

#GoodMorning- and a rare Saturday post. The drizzle's lifting, second (instant) #coffee steaming. Today, a day of blessed rest, so lunch & real coffee in our happy place of Harborough, disguised as a diary meeting, looks like the way to go. May also feature reading, writing, books & wine. Carry On!

Books are ghost magnets. This means every good library has it phantoms. A density of Dewey Decimal Classification is spirits what a saucer of beer is to slugs. Of course we understand ghosts desire to haunt libraries. Thousands of books and the time to read them is a heaven. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Goodnight from Steve Brooks, sealing weekly charity envelope & following Uncle Martin's advice about weelky half's fare excess on route 156. Goodnight from the Grey Boy, satchel-shouldered, now fading week-by-week, pennies paying passage from Carwick Roodhouse to heavenly school beyond mortal sight.

Goodnight from Davey Smith, excited by the air being thick with bonefire incense sending smoke-wraith prayers to boundary gods. Goodnight from the midnight sisters of Bramble Street, sharing cigarettes, gossip and protective charms against the wounds of the night. Goodnight from Hookland.

A good day done, the dark too early come, as Summer fades to Autumn shades. The eve, family-spent, is good, & fed, replete, unexpected-shower cleaned (don't breathe wine!), #Hookland post has crystallised via bus travel memories & sideways sight. Roll on 10pm. May feature ghosts & public transport.

Goodnight from Nan Fenman's kitchen, where large, cauldron-like pan bubbles over gas ring, not for magic elixirs, but far more valuable marmalade! Goodnight from Roundstone Ring, & Silas Ash, tugging at hip flask, stunned at huge bear that's disappeared within, spoiling this mellow night's poaching!

Goodnight from Martin Winstanley, run away from home to play tag with ghosts in S.D. Halfwood’s wrecking yard. Goodnight from PC Dash and PC Pell, not sure whether to radio control with news that their panda car has been pelted by flints thrown by Faeries. Goodnight from Hookland.

#GoodMorning all. It would appear I've not posted here much of late in daylight. However, life goes on, the Sun shines, #coffee, strong & black, steams nearby. All may not be right with the world, but the general trajectory is good. Carry On!

A voice of a hundred buzzes echoed about his skull at sunset, "Tarleton! A bowl of mead outside the hives! Quick!" Puzzled, he responded, & sat guard. Both horrified & accepting, he watched Bruin, the Honey-Eater, amble into the clearing, drink & leave, somewhat unsteadily. Goodnight from Hookland.

Goodnight from the phantoms stuck in the cells below Coreham Crown Court, bemoaning their contemptible state of waiting upon judgement. Goodnight from Eleanor Merril, looking for tide-gifted Blood Lace blooms in the moonlit rock pools of Clinker Cove. Goodnight from Hookland.

Re-introducing a Hookland childhood nightmare/beloved icon. Mr. Lookout – the ghost bear mascot of the Hookland Tourist Board's 'I-See! series of books'. The scarrer of many a child's imaginations as depicted by @tomsbrown.bsky.social. #MrLookout #Hookland
A ghost bear. A big, fat ghost bear. Wearing spectacles, holding what appears to be a bone wand. Trust me, it is one scary bear. The text says: Mr. Lookout

Goodnight from The Footloose, tonight at Weychester, where Bishop Giles, Dean Sampson, & the Venerable Roger Coles discuss mission beyond boundaries in the Cellar, savouring Vinnies' finest. Goodnight from PC Barwood poring over reports of Goats' House Cottage after last night's gruesome business.

Goodnight from Arningale Redfern, where the Ploughman children, James, Eliza, & David, after sabotaging the streetlights, eagerly await non-existence of Monday night. Goodnight from the corn children of Redacre Farm, joyfully advancing upon Goats' House Cottage, seeking renewing blood. Goodnight.

Goodnight from Charlie Hazelgrove, sitting on the deck of the Narrow Escape and listening out for the telltale tuck-tuck-tuck of a black-lanterned canal boat in hopes of procuring certain illicit goods. Goodnight from Lizzie Pecksmith, waiting for the voices to arrive. Goodnight from Hookland.

Railway workers report the signal box at Lugford as haunted. Talk of a constant presence, of being scrutinised as they work. Talk of objects being moved, levers being pulled. Odd voices down the line. A place not haunted by dread, but by unwelcome intrusion. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Which is all right & proper, & as it should be, but totally at odds with a system where many UK universities, like my own, have to timetable to allow students 16 hours a week over 2 or 3 days, to take paying jobs to cover costs of living. The whole HE Sector is a disaster zone for the non-privileged

Shockingly, perhaps, even before I get to my Monday night pub (usually solo) hangout, I have a post drafted for my @hookland.bsky.social 'goodnight' response. That doesn't make it any good, of course, but don't suggest that to the corn children. They can find offerings elsewhere!

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting at a table, in front of a game board set up with several character figurines and various pieces of landscape terrain. On the table is also a measuring tape and a scattering of dice.
Green: Okay, that makes six. How many points did we need to dodge that strike?
Blue: Eight.
Green: Oof.

Both of the foxes look at the board pensively.
Blue: I guess that concludes the campaign. Another party wiped out in their first combat encounter.
Green: At this point we're just feeding adventurers to highwaymen.

"After he retired to the cave prayer grew in him like a forest, sowed its seeds inside his psyche, rewilded his heart. He didn’t see that centuries had passed without him."
A Saint looks up from his prayers to
discover he’s been dead for some time
For St Robert of Knaresborough
By Jay Hulme - from 'The Vanishing Song'

After he retired to the cave
prayer grew in him like a forest,
sowed its seeds inside his psyche,
rewilded his heart. He didn’t
see that centuries had passed
without him.
                              One day he
looked up, hearing requests for
intercession, and the woods were
older than expected, the riverbanks
shifted by the years —
                                              and as he
knelt before the altar in his hermit's
church, his knees disappeared below
the edges of his emptied grave.
