Occult Elvis: was Presley a telepathic demigod who could heal the sick and change the weather? According to a lively new book, the King of Rockโ€™nโ€™Roll claimed to be a faith healer from Jupiterโ€™s ninth moon โ€“ who as a boy was given a future vision of himself in a white jumpsuit by aliens.

Theo were bought out over a year ago. This is the way things go in the world of monopolies. Anything special becomes a commodity that can be bought and added to the portfolio. Same thing happened with Cadbury back home.

My debut folk horror audio drama is now available! Enter a world immersed in Shropshire Folklore, ruled by Devil Himself. There's something very strange afoot up the stiperstones!
