A Hookland fundraising gig, at the High Sorrow (inspired by @cultauthor.bsky.social )

It isn't only the witch who hears the wood-calling. It's a feeling so widespread in Hookland that the phrase 'wood-calling' will be understood in any pub, any sewing circle. People know well that entangling, powerful green voice that beckons you to leave the path. – #EmilyCBanting
If you use AI slop to promote your book, you are dead to me. If you retweet AI slop I will unfollow you. We all have to draw our own lines against this blob of thieving, world-damaging nonsense. These are mine.
See, a proper book, (little book, but a proper one) with an ISBN number and everything. Cover reveal and ordering details coming soon-ish. And yes, there is an-anti piracy, anti LLM curse embedded in the text. It is Hookland – you'd expect nothing less.
I think you come to a place of wisdom where you realise that all the relentless layering of theory about a thing is a huge fucking mistake. At times, just read the poem, watch the film and take a walk without the excluding theories that devalue the primal experience of art and place.

When a property hosts murder, it often acquires a ghost. While human tenants come and go, persuading a phantom to move on is a tricky matter. A simple eviction notice does not work. A vexed landlord may call in a professional ghost-layer, but even then, it's rarely straightforward. – #CJosiffe, 1982
While she has become commonly known to many as 'Ghost Girl', the recurring image is better known among artists and those terrified of her folklore as 'The Girl with the Mirrored Eyes'. – Sophie Morley of Woden College's Graffiti Research and Formalisation Team (GRAFT), 1981
Certain doors in Weychester tithe your imagination. They demand you project stories onto them, project stories beyond their threshold guarding. I always wonder about 136 Hopgood Street. My imaginings made worse by local lore they once displayed angels bone there. – #MattAdams, 1982
Weychester is rare in that it has had a Dodgesonian Professor of Folklore at Woden College since 1898. This was a major first in the history of folkloric studies, but we shouldn't be too surprised given the nature of Hookland. After all, it is a county where stories live well. – Dr. M. Benn
