100% agree. I was in Stonor Park (Berkshire) at the weekend and I thought I was going to bump into a couple of small furry fellows setting a log-trap for a Scout Walker

I mean the red spraypaint V doesn’t really work against the red jumpsuit, does it? At first glance the guy looks like he’s carrying a pair of katana on his back which, if anything, makes him even cooler. Well done protesters, now put a bottle of Colt 45 in his hand, that’ll show ‘em…

Credit where it's due I was absolutely TERRIFIED by this when I was 6, and the next time we returned when I was 33 I still refused to go anywhere near that bit of the island. It's not an explanation I needed, it was a sedative.

"I still hate chess. It provides no joy or satisfaction because you're always one second away from doing something totally stupid / losing to some cheating prick." This is a heavy-handed metaphor for life in general, yes?

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.

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.

Can they do a bit in the middle where the entire AI cast perform Agadoo to camera with zero context? It would genuinely be the best part of the movie and at least the current working-version of Black Lace will make a few quid (just on licensing, not on residuals obvs)
