If you ever get the chance to have a wasp trapped in your T-shirt when you’re cutting the grass, don’t do it is my advice.

Looking forward to living in a time where we reminisce about that era where production companies routinely made entire TV series about stories which had already been told in 90 mins and showed them on a channel only accessed by a small proportion of viewers and then wondered why nobody gave a fuck.

Mrs Blackout's colleague earlier today didn't know you weren't supposed to look at the sun during an #eclipse. And our neighbour has just said he looked at it on his way to Tesco; "it's alright, I had shades on!" Tomorrow's going to be like day of the fucking triffids, isn't it

As promised to link to my first actual Hookland book. It is only small, but covers a lot of the ghost soil. If enough of you buy it and like it there will be a Volume Two. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1068598123 It will also be available in an actual bookshop soon.
The coverplate of the book HOOKLAND FRAGMENTS VOLUME ONE by David Southwell featuring a picture of the Ghost Bear of Hookland by Maria Strutz and the following blurb:

I firmly believe David Southwell’s Hookland to be one of the great 
imaginative achievements of our age. One that will one day be 
spoken of the way Lovecraft’s Mythos is now. Hookland is the 
folklore of the county that exists on the edge of our vision, an 
unseen but sensed Britain that is at once familiar and strange. 
It is the land just to the left of where we live. David’s work is 
made even more remarkable by his open invitation for all to 
come and play there. Though of course visitors to Hookland 
must be wary, the county exacts its price from us all. – R.J. 
Barker, award-winning author of bestsellers such as The Bone 
Ships and Gods of Wyrdwood.

As a visitor I am more frequently in Hookland than the barrows 
and chalk downs of my childhood. – Roger Clarke, best-selling 
author of A Natural History of Ghosts.

Hookland is gold standard eldritch world building. – Ian 
Simmons, Fortean Times news editor.

This a shimmering place of deep time, cold wars, old gods and 
ever renewing mysteries.The heartland and home county of the 
restless and the outsider, a lamp glow to welcome the lost, a 
pole star for those who dare to step into the dark and follow its 
glorious glowing ghostlight. – Rose Ruane. Artist and writer of 
Birding and This Is Yesterday.

Hookland has been called many things. Psychic shrapnel 
embedded in place. A re-wilding of folklore. The English Eerie 
told in strange fragments. According to its creator David 
Southwell, nothing in Hookland is made up, just remembered 
differently.

Hookland Fragments Volume One offers both an introduction to 
Hookland and an exploration of its agenda of re-enchantment 
as resistance.

The scene in Rob Reiner's This Is Spinal Tap where the band's manager realises they have in fact ordered a two-foot high replica-piece of Stonehenge due to poor communication and sloppy administration, and they are in fact going to have to go ahead and use that on stage just to save some level of face.

What many people don't know is that Mambos One, Two & Three were destroyed by terrorists while they were being written, and Four mysteriously disappeared shortly after it was written, which is why we only have Mambo No. Five, our last best hope for peace.

I'm watching The Hobbit / Lord of the Rings. It's essentially a punch-up between gangs of early-1980s goths, new romantics, and metal heads. But somehow The Wurzels win.

The fruits of insomnia. I started doodling a poseable art mannequin I found on a flea market 2 weeks ago. Recently, I'd also been reading about Elizabethan occultist/alchemist John Dee, so for reasons that now elude me, I ended up turning him into a Silver Age #MarvelComics superhero. #comics

2. Sketching over the mannequin
Marvel Comics pastiche of Elizabethan occultist/alchemist John Dee as a superhero.
