There Is No Safe Word How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it.

When Day is Done by iain Crichton Smith Sorrow remembers us when day is done. It sits in its old chair gently rocking and singing tenderly in the evening. It welcomes us home again after the day. It is so old in its black silken dress, its stick beside it carved with legends. It tells its stories over and over again. After a while we have to stop listening.

Sorrow remembers us when day is done.
It sits in its old chair gently rocking
and singing tenderly in the evening…

make sure you don't get left behind!

YES! this is such a great Christmas movie for everyone except those left by their families at boarding school

glad you said no, but do you know if they disclose the info that guests are paying to their listeners?

This is horrible, and a great reminder that we are in the wild west of media at the moment

I hope it comes with a disclaimer for listeners that guests have paid to be interviewed

booked! I'm really looking forward to this

A Winter Apple by Don Paterson for Nora Chassler ​ Here, I got you one of those you like: those bewildered late bloomers, tough and small and sweeter than they’ve any right to be, as green as Eden, the red an afterthought as if there’d been an hour left in the season to paint them all, and where the brush had swept the snow-white fruit below is stained with pink as if your teeth had bled from biting it. It was hard enough to body itself forth with so few leaves to hide it from the frost without it burning fuel on working out where its skin stopped and its flesh began. All that touched it shook its heart. It was that or it was nothing. Take it in your pocket on your long Sunday walk to eat by the loch with that lone jackdaw only you can talk to. I make no great claims for this little thing but I promise only good will come of it.

Here, I got you one of those you like:
those bewildered late bloomers, tough and small
and sweeter than they’ve any right to be…
