Thread! 🧵🎃 📚 Happy October! This month I'll be making a daily #Halloween Countdown post on the theme of #DarkAcademia, with a separate book recommendation and atmospheric, eerie quote each day.
This will be "Part 2," in a way, adding to a previous thread, which I reposted recently with the tag #31DABooks.
Don't usually do the hard sell here but bizarrely Etsy is covering a £5 off of orders over £25+ for this weekend only (ends Sunday eve) so head over to my shop - https://blockforest.etsy.com - if you want a little discount.
Offer is open to buyers in UK, USA and Canada only (etsy's rules - not mine).
I don't usually do sales so this as good as it gets!
Thread! 🧵📚 In October, I'll be making a daily #Halloween Countdown post on the theme of #DarkAcademia, with a separate book recommendation and atmospheric, eerie quote each day.
This will be "Part 2," in a way, adding to my Halloween Countdown of 2021. But I wasn't on Mastodon on 2021, so I'm sharing those countdown posts now to get you in the mood! My October posts this year will feature all new recommendations and quotes representing different works than those in this thread. I hope you enjoy this!
Happy Halloween! Can't believe it's here already, I think we should get at least 2 months of spooky season, one just isn't enough (especially when we know what everyone will be talking about from tomorrow). Hope you all have the spookiest of days and nights! https://blockforest.etsy.com/listing/1581644313
#WyrdWednesday In 'Ken's Mystery' (Julian Hawthorne, 1888), an American visiting Ireland meets a vampire who seems to bend the laws of time. The only evidence of his encounter is his new banjo, which suddenly looks ancient after their strange affair

Author copies arrived of this bulky anthology of African ghost stories. Now I can say that my story was published in the same book as the legend, Amos Tutuola!
Dedicated to my loveliest sib, @yassie_j :agender_heart: 💗
One of the main ideas behind Andrew's Deb Demure persona is to be as agender as possible, both in outside presentation, and in music - it was them that introduced me to the concept of being agender. :Fire_Agender:
There are no words to describe how much I love this project. Most likely my favorite modern goth band.
I hope to be able to see them in Katowice - I actually got to catch Andrew in Warsaw after their gig (where they were playing under the Noel Skum persona as part of VR Sex), and they mentioned that they might come down here sometime :333 :ablobfoxbongohyper:
Today in Writing History January 19, 1809: Edgar Allan Poe was born. “The Raven” made Poe an overnight sensation. Yet, he spent much of his life in poverty. Poe originally considered having an owl or parrot, rather than a raven, quote “Nevermore.” Poe was a binge drinker who sometimes remained sober for months before falling off the wagon again. His alcoholism worsened as he got older. He died in 1849, mostly likely from alcoholism. His grave remained unmarked until 1865. For 60 years, from 1949 until 2009, the “Poe Toaster” left a bottle of cognac and three roses on Poe’s grave every January 19th.
#FairyTaleTuesday In Mary E. Braddon's 'My Wife's Promise' (1868), an explorer on a rescue mission in the arctic sees the ghost of his wife. Before leaving home, she made a promise to him which he thought was impossible to keep, and is heartbroken to find she kept her word.
Krampus returns! You didn’t block the chimney well enough last year did you, to be fair they’ll always find a way.
All my Christmas cards are up on shop now - altho some bundles on Etsy will be added in the next day or so - but my own webshop you can just use the card discounts to grab multiples.
40 years ago today, Dead Can Dance released their self-titled debut.
The start of one of music's most intriguing artistic collaborations.
"We’ve got something weird between us, there is something between Brendan and I when we work together that is really strong, something I’ve never found with anyone else.
It hurts. There is pain, there are blessings, there are moments of great beauty." - Lisa Gerrard
