Rebecca Ferrier

Resurrecting my account to say it's a waste that Taylor Swift didn't rhyme Ophelia with necrophilia in the title track of Life of a Showgirl 💀✨️

A Spell for Drowning by Rebecca Ferrier. Read on Kindle. 5/5 Stars

Kensa has always been an outsider in her village with her father’s reputation hanging over her. One day her & her half sister discover a dying sea beast on the shore. Kensa is quick to take the credit of the discovery & in turn leads to her being an apprentice for their local wise woman Isolde. Let me start by saying the writing is magical. It felt like I was reading a fairytale. I was pulled in by the writing style & was in awe of the way the words were put together. This translated into the subtle body horror elements depicting something so hauntingly beautiful. As someone not familiar with Cornish folklore I found myself really enjoying this story. We experience some horror, some fairytale vibes & some coming of age. It beautifully weaves common struggles we face with mystical creatures & an atmospheric world. The themes touched on in this story are deeply human. If you are looking for a haunting fairytale, coming of age story then I cannot recommend this book enough!! Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for the arc!!

Coming from wealth gives you the chance to fail, and only by failing multiple times can you have the opportunity to succeed. We deny working class writers the chance to fail continuously - to grow, learn, thrive and create.

Seeing old friends in the holidays has been a reminder as to how impossible it is to break into the arts if you're working class. The cash isn't there, the time isn't there, the knowledge isn't there. You can't be it if you don't see it. And if you do succeed, it may not be for long.

Defra scraps England deadline to register thousands of miles of rights of way Campaigners jubilant after government heeded warning 2031 cutoff would mean loss of precious footpaths

Excellent to see Labour getting rid of the arbitrary deadline to register all historic rights of way.

Landowning lobbyists had got the Tories to put in a deadline of 2031 to register 49,000 miles of lost paths.

Next step: a right of responsible access, please!
