Listened to the @talkscaredpod.bsky.social episode with Catriona Ward. Excellent as usual, especially the cult stuff.
"The Ant Hill Kids, never heard of them. I should look that up when I get home", I thought.
Me at home:
It's a wee bit windy so you might want yer big coat. Which will also help with any stabbing.
I'm sure I will. Withered Hill and Scuttler's Cove were excellent. They had both in the library, by the way.
Went to the library this morning but couldn't find anything that grabbed me. Went to the bookshop instead and bought Scratch Moss.
The delivery and it's context. Brought up the hairs on the back of my neck.
What's a line delivery you'll never forget
A custard apple. If you look closely enough, you'd probably see something moving around inside it. Alien-egg looking bastard.
The custard apple. A terrible thing. Just look at it.
I'm just back from watching Bone Temple and, aye, genuinely not sure is pretty much my feeling.

"The spacing between the monoliths forming the outer ring was highly variable, being as wide as c.8m in the eastern circuit, but along the flattened western side spacing dropped to less than 1m in places."
I know how to live.
As I have just learned from the post immediately above this one...

As the winner of multiple World's Greatest Grandpa awards, I congratulate you on your outstanding achievement.
One of my top 3 books of this year. Really liked Extremity as well.
Aye, it's pretty good. Nice weird atmosphere.
I've definitely heard someone talking about it somewhere.
@scaresshapedus.bsky.social maybe?

I was raking around for something to watch the other week and I found this. It sounded familiar.
Did you have a guest on who mentioned this? Maybe an Off Book episode?
A word that sounds Scottish but isn't - "gromulch".
"Away you, ye fuckin gromulch"
Think that was me. I've watched that film a lot (it's a high Top 10) but it still gets me every time. There are images that are burned into my brain. An absolute modern classic.
We watched Sinister and Reincarnation last night. Both personal Top 10 films.
Still trying to decide on tonight's viewing.
Also went to see the outstanding Black Phone 2 yesterday afternoon.
The Stone Roses
New Order - Technique
Faith No More - The Real Thing
Soul II Soul - Club Classics Vol 1
That's just a quick scan of what's on my shelves.
But is it where you went to sleep?

A quality story so well written. I could picture the places and hear the voices so clearly.
