shirley jackson you tell em www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...

ar and away the greatest menace to the writer—any writer, beginning or otherwise
—is the reader. The reader is, after all, a kind of silent partner in this whole business of writing, and a work of fiction is surely incomplete if it is never read. The reader is, in fact, the writer's only unrelenting, genuine enemy. He has everything on his side; all he has to do, after all, is shut his eyes, and any work of fiction becomes meaningless. Moreover, a reader has an advantage over a beginning writer in not being a beginning reader; before he takes up a story to read it, he can be presumed to have read everything from Shakespeare to Jack Kerouac. No matter whether he reads a story in manuscript as a great personal favor, or opens a magazine, or—kindest of all—goes into a bookstore and pays good money for a book, he is still an enemy to be defeated with any kind of dirty fighting that comes to the writer's mind.

For even the solitary witch never truly walks alone. She may be rarely seen at those guerrilla covens of extreme need, but she travels with the spirits of the land. Her constant companions are genii locorum – whispering, protecting and teaching as she navigate her way. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

Some gates make you wary of climbing over or opening them. You have this weird sense that crossing their threshold will deliver you somewhere else. Faery or some parallel dimension that is simultaneously familiar yet alien. My danger radar is weak, but not that weak. – #MattAdams

Goodnight from Bill Tanner, wondering if there’s any point in ringing the police to report that there’s a giant black cube hovering above Hobble Woods. Goodnight from Kate Watson, wishing making magical inks from mushrooms didn’t stain her hands so much. Goodnight from Hookland.

The land becomes cold to the touch. The year turns towards restless ghosts and mists with a thousand tiny teeth. The dead in their dream incubation chambers come close to waking. They sniff the air for an alarm call of bonefire smoke and a rotting carpet of fallen apples. = #CLNolan

#goth club or Cardassian Court? You decide - or actually, the state will decide for you! Yep it's back to our #DS9 podcast tonight as Kat and I drink wine and discuss "Tribunal", the penultimate episode of season two. Come join us, 8PM BST! twitch.TV/theBloggingGoth

A screenshot from "Tribunal", episode 25 of Season Two of Deep Space Nine. The Cardassian Court set has an imposing bench for the Judge (or Chief Archon) that resembles a tall DJ booth. The entire set is dimly lit with stark illumination much like a goth club I would like to visit

Happy Birthday #LeonardCohen, born this day in 1934. Influential, particularly on #AndrewEldritch who in part named #TheSistersofMercy after one of Cohen's songs from 1967, and interviewed him in 1994, gracing us with this picture. Leonard Cohen died in 2016 - rest in peace.
