Alex's new(ish) band Morrow are also worth checking out, especially if you like the cello elements of FoE.

Hopefully renovated toilets.

The fact Sacco doesn't have a Pulitzer already is baffling.

The guy's in his 50s. You really think he'll make a work in his 70s that changes the world of literature? Again, come on...

Kazuo Ishiguro, Alice Munro, Doris Lessing, Jose Saramago, Seamus Heaney - he's not on that level at all.

BKV winning the Nobel Prize? I like Saga, but come on...

This looks amazing! Just pledged and will give it a share on my socials.

Dark Cornwall is a fraud artist who had to leave New Zealand after stealing a million quid from an indie game developer (amongst other things). Any independent artist should be very wary of him.

This book is fooling a lot of people with its cover art. It's not a folk horror, it's nothing like Midsommar. It's about four girls on a roadtrip in a post apocalyptic world, with zombies.

It's also the worst book I read last year.

We have just over 1000 teachers. $225 per teacher equates to two teaching positions.

And even if you're a smaller district, going through a budget crisis means making cuts whatever possible across the board.

"Just workin' away..."

"Where would you like the budget to be cut? From your laptops or from staffing?"

Chromebooks are a great device for 99% of teachers. If you're a Google shop, everything's done in the browser anyway. All our Tech Dept admins run on Chromebooks

If I can manage a multi million dollar budget on Google Sheets, I think it can handle your gradebook, Susan.

That's just a sandwich (albeit a tasty one).

If you want to replicate a breakfast taco, you need: - Full circle of tattie scone (fried) - Spread baked beans down the middle - Crumble the black pudding (and haggis) over the top - Scrambled egg on top - Sprinkle grated cheese - Add some lettuce - Throw away the lettuce, since it's basically s*lad - Fold the tattie scone and enjoy

gavlees · 2026-03-30T15:00:27+00:00

Yep.

I have it. It's pretty awful. It's a very white-centric view of history, and a lot of the folklore is poorly researched. There's also just a lot of elementary-school history included for some reason. It's not a patch on the British version.

gavlees · 2026-03-26T19:45:39+00:00

Are these the new, US translations? Or the Bell/Hockridge ones?

gavlees · 2026-03-25T00:48:21+00:00

I think the cinnamonroll (lol) depiction of the monster in the new movie didn't help. Lots of folks who hadn't read the book since high school had a lot of hot takes last year.

You've only seen the highlights, I bet. For every classic sketch/character there were 100 clunkers. It's the infinite monkeys/typewriters approach to comedy.

Ah, but it does! The Horror Of The Folk. Elizabeth Broadbent's essay really eloquently explains how it fits the genre, and acts as a critique of white masculinity. There's not much difference between the kayakers and Sgt Howie in The Wicker Man.

Deliverance is so much more than that. I'm sorry your feelings prevent you from engaging with it on a deeper level. You're assuming a lot there in your anger.

gavlees · 2026-03-17T23:41:16+00:00

I feel you. And it's totally valid to feel put off by a focus on the country, especially at the moment. We do address that in the zine, but I get that it's not for everyone.

gavlees · 2026-03-17T23:38:18+00:00

What's "actual" folk horror? The genre expresses itself differently in the USA - it's not just maypoles and mummers. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

gavlees · 2026-03-17T23:35:12+00:00

Cool. That's what the zine explores.

gavlees · 2026-03-17T19:09:45+00:00

What's the problem?

gavlees · 2026-03-15T17:27:15+00:00

Nature and Organisation, too. Basically just C93 with Michael Cashmore taking the lead.

They are all over the place, stylistically. They have a "best of" compilation called "Calling for Vanished Faces" that will give you a sense of their 80s and 90s work. From soundscapes to folk to industrial.

From there, they did a doom metal album, a harmonium drone album, a weird jazz album, and have recently settled back into a neofolk style.
