I'm glad I'm not the only one absolutely freaked out by The Hulk as a child. I have literally had an entire therapy session about this.

This was really good, makes a nice pairing with Zombi Child that came out a couple of years before. Both very slow burn, culturally-unique horrors.

Theo were bought out over a year ago. This is the way things go in the world of monopolies. Anything special becomes a commodity that can be bought and added to the portfolio. Same thing happened with Cadbury back home.

First 5⭐ read of 2025. Beautiful folk horror that hearkens back to nature animism and stories of the Fae, while being steeped in rural isolation and grief. Can't wait to read the follow-up.
The cover of Wild Marjoram Tea by Sylvia Littlegood-Briggs next to text describing the contents: herbal remedies, goth butterflies, Cocteau Twins, false graves, death by cows, and hollow trees.

Folklore isn't just elves, standing stones, and talking potatoes. This is a brilliant piece on the intersectionality with disability. scholarlypublishingcollective.org/uip/jaf/arti...
