After re-reading Alan Garner’s “The Owl Service” I learned about the Welsh myth of Blodeuwedd. Then I went on a deep-dive into the folklore surrounding owls…

Alan Garner's Collected Folk Tales: "Do not use near overhead power lines."
That's one volatile book... must be due to all the esoteric wisdom within!

Here’s a Halloween recommendation which’d probably come under the ‘folk horror’ banner; and an absolute classic of the genre at that! Alan Garner is a really distinctive writer, and I recommend The Owl Service as a good starting place to enter his time-warping oeuvre. #blutoid #books #alangarner

A view of the Cheshire Plain from Stormy Point, Alderley Edge
A strange hollow in a rocky outcrop at Alderley Edge
Castle Rock, Alderley Edge
Human marks on Castle Rock, Alderley Edge
It's a grey, damp day, I'm reading Local Haunts by Adam Scovell and his essay about Alderley Edge has sent me back to our most recent visit on a similarly grey, damp day.

On his 91st birthday I thought we could watch, The Keeper', Alan Garner's fabulously creepy episode of the ITV children's show, Dramarama.
Watch it with the lights out.

The cover of the 1975 Armada Lions edition of Red Shift. It shows the folly on Mow Cop in silhouette against a red sky. A starburst effect shines through a window.
#AlanGarner My treasured copy of Red Shift. I was 17 when I read this “brilliant , bitter, complex” tale of love, time, the past, & social class. It had a profound impact on me. I recently re-read it and found it as powerful as ever.

Got these bad boys to read with the kids. It’s been a while and my memory is probably rose tinted but Let’s see if they hold up.
