@SefC_ @przemekzet There may be Christmas cards and postcards, but everything is more than just adding an artist. Hookland needs to be collaboration, an equity in the project and it needs – at least in the things I do – to deepen and add to county in ways that delight and others can also use.

@sleepingkoala45 Henry’s writing of it is likely folklore (it was almost certainly written after his death), but it is delicious folklore that I want to believe in.

@ScornaLott Much more frightening for it – in the same way Straker in Salem’s Lot as the human hand is much more terrifying for his plausibility. his easy charm.

@PaoloSammut I think we are still in one of our 10-year non-speaking periods. I’m sure to get a call when some crisis/advice is needed. Give him my best when you see him.

@NuitsdeY @PaoloSammut The Slavic vampire in much of the original folklore is a spectral creature tied to a physical body. His or her transformations into birds, wheels of fire et al are countered by village protectors who battle them at a visionary level while asleep at the crossroads.

@NuitsdeY @PaoloSammut The more corporal versions of vampire myth tend to develop post-Stoker. All the glorious clouds of blood through key-holes, animal transmigrations et al tend to not cross the Varney threshold.

The Dedwick Straight is a territory of unease. Even at its calmest, you feel storms waiting to be born, feel King-Under-the-Sea‰Ûªs desire to claim new acreage. You can‰Ûªt dismiss its tidal teeth, the sunken bells of its churches. Of course, the nuclear power station doesn‰Ûªt help. https://t.co/J9ZxPT3HPm
