It's interesting that he lived in England when writing about America. There is a darkness and longing for his home, whilst beautifying England. The book I have is a collection of short stories, so easy to dip in and out of. Good with a cup of tea (and all the lights on at the scary parts).

I dont know if its just my feed, or if its a thing. But lots of people seem to be out for autumn walks today. And I'm loving it.
Bring on the crunch of the leaves underfoot. And the delusion that I could live my life off grid in the woods.

Authors are going to be replaced by AI 🤣🤣🤣 apparently the article has been written by someone who has never read anything by AI.
The day AI can write a funny line about a Weegie, a god, and an Icelandic Elf, then I'll stop. Until then I'll keep writing

Photograph of Gljufrabui, a waterfall in Iceland. The waterfall is through a narrow canyon. the photograph is from inside the canyon looking out. On either side of the photograph, there are cliff walls covered in green moss. The waterfall is in the centre of the photograph.

Totally. It's just a reminder that humans can be nice.

It genuinely is. Plus bonus I've just been offered a cup of tea. I would highly recommend the community hall experience for anyone needing some calm.

I'm in a location I dont frequent very often. I'm in a community hall. There's a fiddle band playing folk tunes. There's a kids chess club. There's a dance class. It all feels gentle, calm and to be honest rather lovely.

Last day to get this for FREE.
The reviews are coming in 5 stars. The main comments are that it is original, unique, and they've never read anything like it before; it's mind-bending. I'm so sorry, but there are lots of readers who are now questioning, "What is real?"
Enjoy.

When you look at it closely I agree it is horrific. But it reminds me of a Dr Who baddie, maybe like the silence. Its actually making me think of how the Elves could be using a glamour to hide the horror if the faceless ones.

Oops nope I thought it was just a licence free image. But still the elf is safe... for now.
