A sort of cream colored short-haired cat, lightly striped tail, turning to glare at me because I have interruped the evening meal in the feral food bowl on the porch. It's inside a small wooden house to keep some wweather off. In the background are plastic flowers in a pot because we roll like that.

We would like to note that there are more people following us here than there are subscribers to our newsletter. This is a #justsaying announcement from the editorial staff... and this cat. He is not OUR cat, but he judges you anyway.

Many thanks for the mention, Shazzie. Great to see you here!

On a black background with flourishes of red dots and lines is the text: Meet the BFS members! Catherine Cavendish. Catherine if pictured in the centre: she's a white woman with shoulder-length blonde hair, and is standing face to the camera in front of book shelves.

Every Friday, we meet a member of the BFS and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). It's time to get ghostly, haunted and creepy with gothic queen @catcavendish.bsky.social.
