"This exhibition clearly understands its market. I wonder who might be behind it, and where the exhibits have come from... among the items displayed in London, one name crops up time and again in correspondence with other killers..." -- by @davidkerekes.bsky.social for the @headpress.com blog.

Green paperback book cover with woodcut black illustration of tree hollows with yellow eyes. Ghost of an Idea by William Burns
I’ve been making my way through the wonderful Ghost of an Idea: Hauntology, Folk Horror and the Spectre of Nostalgia (William Burns). Lovely discoveries as I float through a summer haze, cueing up tunes matching the vibe. I’ve captured the film recommendations in a letterboxd list here boxd.it/I4R8i

A book cover: I Spit On Your Celluloid: The History of Women Directing Horror Movies by Heidi Honeycutt. The cover text is in white and the image is a psychedelic mixture of images, including eyes, a seated dark-haired woman, and a screaming woman's face. The colours are neon pink and purple.
The Rondo Hatton Awards 2025 results are in, and it's lovely to see an Honorable Mention for Heidi Honeycutt's I Spit On Your Celluloid in the Book of the Year category! #womeninhorror
