This week we get into the Northern Weird Project

For Part One, i'm joined by Ariell Cacciola - the genius behind the project, plus Gemma Fairclough, author of THE RETREAT and Katherine Clements, author of TURBINE 34

We talk haunting, unsure landscapes, manipulation and more.

All podcast platforms
I’ve just begun ‘The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre’ by Philip Fracassi. Absolutely loving it so far.

Get your ghost on!

THIS HOUSE ISN'T HAUNTED BUT WE ARE

After the death of their daughter, Simon & Priya renovate an old cottage. A child’s ghostly figure appears, doors lock themselves, a mysterious stain grows from the loft. Is it their daughter haunting them or something else?

A beautiful scene in the garden at sunset, as the last rays hit the beech trees. #nature #beech #sunset #yorkshire

I’m reading ‘Murder at the Black Cat Cafe’ by Seishi Yokomizo. - I love Honkaku/Japanese ‘Golden Age’ crime fiction. Only slightly miffed that Pushkin Press have changed the cover styles.

Trying to imagine Shirley Jackson writing a story about tradfluencers and I'm giggling too much to hold the hinge I'm supposed to be regluing
On a wet and thundery Thursday I am recovering from gallbladder surgery, reading in bed with the dogs, there snoring is proving to be calming and soporific. I’ve had ‘Nightbitch’ on my TBR for a while now, I’m hoping a bit of female rage will take my mind off my aches and pains #booksky 💙📚#books
The best message to get. When your child becomes a reader too and asks for recommendations. #booksky #horrorbooks #horrorreading #reading #book 💙📚
I hadn’t realised that, and will certainly listen to them. Perhaps to reach a wider audience? I wouldn’t have known about the stories without the book.
I enjoyed them, I took the book away with me to a mid size old hotel (in France) on a short autumnal break. In a hotel bar, before a log fire definitely added to the atmosphere. I feel though that reading it as a “book” one after another is not the best, each in isolation may be a better way.
I loved ‘This House Isn’t Haunted But We Are’, that I bought direct from @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social
Where can I buy your other titles?
Allan and Janet Ahlberg books were such favourites of my children, we as parents got so much pleasure out of reading them at bedtime. I think we can all recite most from memory ♥️
I overheard the most wonderful conversation in @waterstones.bsky.social today; two young girls longing for their own home, so that they could fill it with bookshelves, their fantasy developed in to having their own library to fill ♥️
I have bought so many books from new to me authors solely from Bluesky, and seen new releases of favourite authors, I’ve then purchased. I mainly read horror, which seems to have a really strong community here.
I’m reading Eurotrash by Christian Kracht (pub. Serpent’s Tail, translated by Daniel Bowles).
A movie you’ve watched more than six times, using gifs.
Shepperton Studios ‘A Christmas Carol’ every year for at least the last twenty-five. Always sing-a-long

This one about the club Fabric my husband and I were fans of in ‘99 and the early 2000s and that my daughter is now a huge fan of. Wonderful photographs of the club scene

This and Hairy Maclary were my children’s (now 20 & 18) favourites. I too can recite every word. Such happy memories
Phil Oakey (Human League), Joe Elliott (Def Leppard) and Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) too
