Everyday Eerie Anthology: bit.ly/4a2fbCU. №9: "Malcolm Timperley’s ‘Heat Treatment’ is a clever, unsettling critique of how modern medicine might unintendedly re-ignite old wounds in treating the body while neglecting the lingering, haunting shadows in our minds." James Priestley, GossamerWight.
Scotland in winter.

Can't match that temperature, but it was -14°C when I took this at Drumrunie last January...
Nonsense! Westminster is home to the best politicians money can buy...
"Seems a tad early this year."
Nonsense! Join the Campaign for Real Winter!
We like to live on the cardiological edge up here you know...
It's almost here. The antidote to enforced jollity, venomously spiced coffee and jingling carols in shopping malls. Your very own Christmas captivity play...
