The covers of both books with quotes in praise of them, and of specific stories:
“‘Modern Buildings In Wessex’, which pulls a compelling horror narrative out of several architectural reviews, is an all-timer. Can’t recommend enough... Fans of Ghostwatch and Inside No. 9 – run don’t walk.”
Trevor Henderson
“...a tremendous collection, hugely enjoyable, and essential... for anyone interested in the English ghost story... ‘Men Who Live in Caravans’... is one of my very favourite stories of recent years: a future classic of the English weird, full of an almost unbearable sadness, quite exquisitely told.”
Seán Padraic Birnie
Between them ‘Municipal Gothic’ and ‘Intervals of Darkness’ have 27 stories full of haunted buildings, haunted people, and working class weirdness. Obviously *I* think they're great – but so do strangers who owe me nothing!

I think I was reasonably steamed coming out of it the SECOND time*, but I can’t say I was particularly angry. Tired, perhaps.
*through an unfortunate mix-up, I’d promised to see it with two different people and I hadn’t the heart to let either one down.

Despite its prosaic title, THE DAMNED (2024) is a beautiful piece of filmmaking. An Irish/Norwegian co-production, it is filled with dread and stunning Nordic visuals. Available on Hulu here in the States.

Bill Hader doing an impression of Oliver Reed explaining the difference between acting on stage & acting on film.
Love how he cracks Paul Giamatti up.

I seem to remember reading that they went through a LOT of footage to try and get takes where Pesci was muttering incoherently because he kept lapsing into proper cursing along the lines of “thatlittleMOTHERFUCKERI’mgonnabreakthatlittlePRICKintwothatPISSANTCOCKSUCKER” etc.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
