The novelization just came out with the cover credit to Sutter Cane, and the art straight from the film. Great fun.

Our family doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful. There’s a gale when dawn illuminates our world. The morning light arrives as though leached from my son’s eyes, his gaze cast skyward…

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

‘96% of healthcare professionals said the model helps to reduce children’s anxiety, and 46% reported a lesser need to use sedation after the children played with the set.‘

‘Lego doesn’t sell the sets and instead has donated more than 10,000 of the kits to hospitals around the world.’

Hmmmm tonight could be a good night to fall asleep after reading several M.R. James stories in bed

But maybe not?

But MAYBE

Anyway the important thing is that there is no ash-tree right outside my bedroom window :)

#PC912: TALES FROM THE VAULTS - The Tanuki-Kettle by Eugie Foster, read by Tina Connolly. Previously ran as #PC28 and first published by Cricket Magazine. Rated G. When Hisa was a baby, her mother called in a soothsayer to cast her daughter’s horoscope. The old woman pulled out her astrology charts and consulted them while incense turned the air blue with perfumed smoke. That day, the fortuneteller had a headache and was in a black mood. Though Hisa’s mother brought her a cup of hot, green tea and fanned her sweating brow, the old woman continued to scowl. “This child will be too bold for her own good,” the fortuneteller grumbled. “Is there nothing I can do?” asked Hisa’s distraught mother. “I could hire tutors to teach her the folly of brashness.” “That is not sufficient.” The soothsayer’s eyes lit upon the brimming teapot. “She must grow up to be a lowly tea girl.”

I like to think that the stories in Notes from Underground contain more melancholy than terror, but this is still a horror collection, and these are still horror stories. You don’t have to ta…

Random shout out:
"The Old Lady" by Eleanor Scott (vintage tale on Pseudopod: 1929) read by writer/ed/VOA Kat Day; a fun tale managing to be very traditional (old manor house, Oxford students, creepy families) w/ some freshness. Some, I think, via the female POV. 1/5
