On this day in 1922, German director #FWMurnau released the iconic expressionist silent movie #Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens (A Symphony of Horror).

Phengaris There's something very wrong in Thurstrop Wood.Mark Warner never noticed it before. He's there to get away from his life, his ailing mother. Out of his head. Not to think about anything.Birds sing in ...

I really need help with getting supplies to nurse her back to health, this place is literally uninhabitable especially for a disabled woman.

We need 5ltr bottled water, isotonics, nausea meds and *maybe* something that she can keep down please.

I love the eerie pairing of the strange little girl, Judith, and her ghost playmate in the short story "In the Closed Room" by Frances Hodgson Burnett

She looks at the cut flowers resting on the coffin lid: lilies and gladioli. White flowers, sweetly pure. Except... she leans in, blinks to clear her eyes, leans in even further. It can be. It's the grief and lack of sleep, but in the yellow stamens, she can make out tiny pointed teeth

Check out this amazing project to bring mental health support to children in Gaza!

Think about the children in your life, and what you would want for them if they'd just been through an unimaginable trauma.

Wasn’t bluebell sap once used as book binding?
Jack squeezed the petals between his fingers. He wasn’t as keen on bluebells as wood anemones, the cheerful white stars they had usurped in the woodland.
With a shock, he realised he could not part the fingers he had pressed together.
