Welcome to Weird Kernow Folk horror is enjoying a new burst of popularity in 2025—particularly its Cornwall-set variant

For the new issue of @prospectmagazine.co.uk, out this week, I've been discussing Cornish folk horror with some excellent writers including @samkhorton.bsky.social, @janejohnsonbakrim.bsky.social, Jodie Matthews and @ronnieturner8702.bsky.social

New interview. Rachel asked some great questions - I love it when interviewers follow their own interests instead of sticking to standard-issue questions.

The giant Manannán Mac Lir rising up from a stormy sea before a small rowing boat containing two tiny people on the crest of a breaking wave.

If you think they look good online, they look even better in real life. Thanks @ciaraioch.bsky.social for these beautiful pieces of inspiration. Manannán Mac Lir and the Morrigan both get a mention in my book (which I'm close to finishing up now) so I was really drawn to these pieces. 💚

If you like your gentle kind of folk, this one is worth a listen.

Danny Boyle and Alex Garlands, "28 Years Later" is more than a worthy sequel. An interesting glimpse into what different humans define as safety. Most of all its emotional, and reminds us that, especially when we forget, kindness, love and enquiry against ignorance is a needed path. Loved this one.
