Here is your occasional reminder:

I am writing a folk-horror one-shot TTRPG with a treasure hunt in it. Solving it will lead you to a simple treasure hidden somewhere in the United Kingdom.

If you find it first, it’s yours.

I am asking an exchange: your email will get you the Digital TTRPG. I’ll only use it to message you whenever the next treasure hunt is starting. And I’ll never give it to anybody else. It just means I know that you like what I do. And that’s enough.

Here’s the link: bookhouse.uk

It’ll be out in the summer if all goes to plan.

This is a proof of concept idea to see if it’s something that I enjoy doing. I reckon I have about 10 of these on me, so that’s the next decade sorted.

Feel free to share if that’s a thing you do. Thanks for your time.

Today, May 1, 1973, Police Sergeant Neil Howie finds that he is unable to leave remote Hebridean island Summerisle. The island residents celebrate May Day with pagan rituals (The Wicker Man, 1973)

Might have to iron it out a bit and test it to hell, but I might have the bare bones of a #FolkHorror #TTRPG one-shot.

Which is nice.

I’ve got a great idea for a British #folkhorror #TTRPG. Am scribbling notes on it.

Struggling to name it.

- Hare and Furrow
- The Old Ways
- Pastoral Albion
- Blood for the Soil
- Ancient Paths

Thoughts?

[Review] “Beneath the Trees” ~ As the sage Lil Wayne once said, there are two ways to make art: be good or be good at it. A film does not have to be innovative or even have anything new to say for audiences to respond. This film is neither good nor good at it. I didn’t want to sing along, so here I am to heckle.

🔥 "THE WICKER MAN" (1973) drew from REAL pagan rituals! Studying "The Golden Bough" (1890), filmmakers used Frazer’s theory: "fertility cults sacrificed sacred kings." 👑💀 #FolkHorror #BasedOnLore #Horror #HorrorSky 🐝 Would you survive Summerisle? 😱

I am a #lifeAdmin hero this morning. Got a bunch random things done (order coffee, complain to energy company, book cinema, changed the filter on the fridge).

What I sat down to do was #read some #folkhorror short stories over coffee.

#whoops.

" The landscape itself becomes a kind of storytelling engine. Events are projected onto these spaces, which then echo back with pattern and meaning, passed from witness to witness, story to story." I really enjoy Fred Andersson's writing on Swedish #hauntology fred-andersson.medium.com/drac #Sweden #FolkHorror

Sânziană is the Romanian name for gentle fairies who play an important part in local folklore, also used to designate the Galium verum or Cruciata laevipes flowers.

This picture from the Butlins in Minehead makes me think of "The Prisoner" but then so does Butlins generally. You'd think it would make you think of Hi-di-Hi but actually you'd need me at gunpoint to do that.

The real takeaway from this picture is that the woman using the cut down xylophone started out as a jazz theorist who referred to herself as the velvet spider.

#butlins #folkhorror

A  woman in a coat the colour of tomato ketchup, sitting in front of an array of electro-mechanical switches, controlling a map of a holiday camp. There is a mini xylophone and a sleek phone probably stolen from the set of UFO

I recently translated a book sample, then at the London Book Fair I got to hear the rest of the plot. And it is AMAZING. If you're into creepy twisted folk horror, you're going to want to read this.
