THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD (1971) Four years after Torture Garden, Robert Bloch scripted the third Amicus horror anthology from four of his own stories. There’s no novelisation and no movie tie-in paperback! But you can still read the stories each segment is based on… #AmicusAnthologies

An awesome talk by historian Jules McArthur on The Magical Influence of Roman Egypt. The topic explained brilliantly how religion and magic transformed during the Roman conquest of Egypt. Another great night at @treadwells-books.bsky.social #romanegypt #ancientegypt #alchemy #ancientmagic

Arthur Rackham, 'The Witch's Pool', 1904. #ArthurRackham #Rackham #witch #illustration #art

A grinning old woman crouches above a pool of water. She has raised her right arm and as a result the water has become troubled, with bubbles arising from it.
