If you're looking for some weird horror this spooky season, you have to check out "Rose." It's the Kafkaesque fantasy-horror story of a young woman turned into a plant/human hybrid (and that's just the start of her problems). Strange, thrilling, and full of Japanese mythology. You'll love it.

Got lucky at the Morrison's charity book stand again, found an old copy of Jane Eyre Look at the original price, only 75 pence! It's amazing how cheap books were decades ago. If someone could get me a time machine that'd be great 🤣

Ray. Mutherflippin. Bradbury. His small town simplicity and creative, exquisite use of quotidian language speaks to me deeply, and I think we could mesh his small town sensibilities with my gold rush hometown ones for a fascinating play on rural communities facing horrors among the rolling hills.
