@zwlocklin.bsky.socialReposted by @stephellis.bsky.social2. The Haunted House (Segundo De Chomon 1907): Keeping it light for day 2, this is a little horror comedy silent short film special fx extravaganza sort of in the vein of Mélies. The “new score” kind of misses the tone of the film, but it’s still pretty rad.

@angelaliu.bsky.socialReposted by @stephellis.bsky.socialI have a new poem out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social today! It’s my first new poem of the year.
“Butterfly Effect” is inspired by all the unfinished stories and all the things I wish we could take back.

@stephellis.bsky.socialI'll be there, getting lost, not recognising folk until it's too late, and buying books, the usual 😅
@stephellis.bsky.socialI can't picture you having a break!
@stephellis.bsky.socialUgh, imagine if this as a human parasite, threading its way through veins and arteries, or perhaps the nervous system. Actually, no, I don't even want to play that 'what if' game 😅. An interesting article nonetheless. (I was actually scrolling for folklore or history and got side-tracked.)

@hookland.bsky.socialReposted by @stephellis.bsky.socialEngland of the humming wires. England of the ghosted fields. England of the nephomantic sky. This is where my patriotism lives, not in its ragged flags, but in a land that knows its spectres. – #DAKilroy

Give me stone guardians that roar against all evils – not just those convenient to a church. Give me spirited stones with eyes that do not blink when it comes to staring down hate. – #CLNolan
@stephellis.bsky.socialI had so much fun with this, felt truly spoiled!

@hookland.bsky.socialReposted by @stephellis.bsky.socialTo stand inside a stone circle is to be enfolded by the Long Neolithic. To stand inside a stone circle is also to be enfolded by folklore and a sense of awe. Archaeology is a telling of stories, we do not pretend that our stories are the only ones that matter. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday
@stephellis.bsky.socialNot watching Slow Horses but recently read a couple of the books, very good.

Darker Days turns a Faustian bargain into a disturbing story of morality, entitlement & family.
@stephellis.bsky.social gives it 5/5 ravens, plus a whole murder.
@stephellis.bsky.socialGood luck, Lauren! Your story deserves it!
