🎶 Must be the season of the witch 🎶 The next 3 books in my queue, after @shewolfmanc.bsky.social's Unburied, are How to Kill a Witch, That Very Witch, and The Conjuring of America. The fall of patriarchy is my favorite time of year.

Over the past year or so, I've been writing stories of the little moments of joy and strangeness I've experienced riding the rails around Manchester. I love trams, and I love the things I see on them. Today's story is called Coronation Chicken.

This week I was at the Manchester Museum for the launch of Unburied : The True Story of Hannah Beswick The Manchester Mummy, by @shewolfmanc.bsky.social. I waffled through a question where I said 'Modern Penny Dreadful Industry' ?! but received a long excellent reply. I'll enjoy reading the book.

Went for a picnic on Saddleworth today. Really enjoyed celebrating the incoming season while getting ravaged by the last gasps of the outgoing one. This time of year is magical. ❤️

Staring out of the window at the reflection of trees in a very still lake while listening to Chopin's Prelude in E Minor like I'm proper in an arthouse film.
