For National Poetry Day, a personal favourite of mine and one I think about more and more in these troubled times.

The Second Coming
By W.B. Yeats

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy

[Chorus]
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
(I said) The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

Hi I sell books on eBay and for some reason these are the kind of photos I post. Also everything in my shop is labelled “vintage” to justify my exorbitant pricing.

Blurry photo of the corner of a book cover

Close up of the inner margin of the book, to show that it contains text

Weirdly angled photo of a portion of the cover and spine which doesn’t really show anything conclusive about the book’s condition

Blurry of the back cover of the book apparently taken while the book was passing at speed

The foreign actor

Jarrod 'Toadfish' Rebecchi from the Australian soap Neighbours, played by Ryan Moloney

He actually ended up playing the character for *30 years* - starting in 1995 and leaving only last year

We need less Country music about pick up trucks and warm beer and more songs about the immortal soul of one highwayman reincarnated throughout the past, present and future.

I did! It's a great collection, and one I've returned to in the past year, reading a story here and there. Highly recommended. (I still haven't gotten to Ray's new book, but I hope to soon.)

Good morning. Today, I'm going to give a little push to my second collection of stories, 'Intervals of Darkness', from 2024, partly because I think of it as particularly autumnal. www.amazon.co.uk/Intervals-Da...

The cover of Intervals of Darkness in black and red with an image of a figure being stalked through a dark space by an unseen figure, with a quote from author John Grindrod: "Existing somewhere between Robert Aickman and J.G. Ballard, these blackly funny tales are sure to chill you, no matter how high you turn the central heating."

So many horrible things have been left on Aunt Edna's chair that, at this point, she's a complete freak. So, go on, one more thing won't matter.

This is the quality of cover blurb all writers of horror - and of anything else really - should aspire to.

'OF GOODNESS SAKE DON'T LEAVE THIS ON AUNT EDNA'S CHAIR!' says the Sunday Times about James Herbert's The Fog

My Reddit algorithm is so tight you guys, just scrolling through going “hell yeah” over and over

Marxist Analysis of The Girl Next Door?
Note: I'm not saying that Ketchum had politics in mind when he wrote the book. I'm only asking for recs on a Marxist interpretation of the novel.

Death Valley > Ludwig in the cosy comic crime rankings. Would prefer more mystery solving and less peeling the eternal onion of conspiracy from Ludwig. (It’s still fun, though.)
