The children of England share their playground with ghosts. Some battle with spirits to be kings and queens of broken castles, some roar in shade-soaked woods. Some fight soot-smudged phantoms in city narrows. It is the rare youth of England who knows no haunted spot. – #CLNolan https://t.co/2C3BZIY6IR

@zombiedeath @Richard_Kadrey If I was writing it, it would be somewhat psychedelic and the statues would be the only ones speaking any lines.

@CeeChampion Given the number of requests I have had for a Hookland dating service I reckon the field is fertile.

@DaRC_Fantom @SianEsther @CelticMythsPod Folklore walks. Good stories wander. The indigenous Britons they talk off are under the waves of Doggerland. Purity is the most damaging myth. And the land, the land laughs at those who claim to speak for it.

@DaRC_Fantom @SianEsther @CelticMythsPod The land is long memory, a chorus of voices singing songs in vanished tongues and often against the current walkers across it.

@CeeChampion @ryanliveson Looking for a companion that enjoys concrete phantoms tied to brutalist architecture, walks in the woods to placate sprites, building fires for ash riddling and roasting marshmallows, discussion of the impact of grimoires on the cunning folk and best rituals to curse pisspuffins.

@CeeChampion @ryanliveson Looking for a companion to binge watch BBC ghost stories, help construct a spirit scanner and exploring the psychic topography of former bomb sites. Ideally, someone whose hands are not too clammy in haunted cellars.
