We’re taking a summer break! If you’ve been thinking of placing an order, now is the time. All orders placed after Monday will be shipped from August 23rd.

We’ll be back with folklore, old gods, megaliths and strangeness very soon.
Thank you everyone and happy summer 🌞

Bought this β€œfor my son”. There’s alien conspiracies, Mothman sightings, men in black, bleak endings. I think I might be more excited than him.

There are many memorable lines in The Devil Rides Out, but this one might well be my favourite.

I think that’s the photo. It doesn’t look whitish irl, just lumpy.

Thanks, Kevin. It’s been on my shelf as normal (it wasn’t like this when I bought it). My house isn’t humid and there is no mould inside the book, nor mildew. Someone else suggested it could be the glue binding the cloth to the boards, which would explain the bumpiness.

Musical heritage 'should be part of Birmingham's tourism' Birmingham is home to Black Sabbath, ELO and Judas Priest - should they be reflected in its tourism?

β€œBlack Sabbath is the band that invented heavy metal music, & it is a band that is so meaningful to so many of us, & the DNA of Black Sabbath is everywhere. Those are things that originated in your city. Those are things that originated with Sabbath & Ozzy Osbourne."

Bibliophile friends, is this water damage? Is my Golden Bough doomed like the sacrificial king himself? I know it’s not exactly valuable, but I’m fond of it.

I’ve made it a couple of times in the last week. Goes with pretty much everything: bean stew, lentil salad, halloumi wraps.

It’s from Lee and Froud’s Faeries, but I believe it’s by Alan Lee.
