Halloweird edited by Johnny Mains This is another collection from the British Library which covers the season of Samhain/Halloween. It includes short stories and some poetry (one from Rabbie Burns no less). Samhain is one of the two pagan fire festivals in Britain’s pagan year. The other is Beltane in May. The publication range is from 1780 to the 1970s: although most of the tales are pre 1930s. There is poetry from Mayne, Burns, Revi and Geraldine. Short stories by R Fryer, Elizabeth Train, Letitia Douglas, Edgar Wakeman, Lyllian Huntley (x2), Herminie Kavanagh, Alphonse Courlander, Eleanor Fitzgerald, Rachel Macnamara, Tod Robbins, Flavia Richardson, Edith Wharton, Elizabeth Walter, Virginia Lafefsky and Mary Williams (this one is excellent). There is the usual diet of spurned lovers, bone carriages, graveyards, castles, ghosts, ghouls, one set in the old US west (cowboys and all), unexpected apparitions and the usual sense of the reader saying “Don’t open that door!!” In more modern parlance FAFO. Then there’s the oddest line in the book from the poem “Twas the night of All Hallows” by Geraldine: “She lies there, but lo! most amazing to note, Encircling her neck was a FROLICSOME GOAT” Don’t ask. This is a good collection. There are a couple of duds, but some pretty good ones too. The cover art is effective too. 8 out of 10 Starting Fear in the Blood, Another collection in the Tales of the Weird series

thanks Madeline much appreciated

just started Eimear Mcbride's new book "The City Changes its Face" and gosh i just love the way she writes.

Bolt From the Blue (2020) Jeremy Cooper A novel in the form of letters/postcards written between a mother and daughter across several decades starting in 1985 and ending in 2018. Cooper does a good job of offering small snippets of their lives until, by coalescing effect, it builds into a larger picture whereby you can sense the general volume of their lives, their relationships, their work, their gradual ageing and experience. In that sense, the small entries are effective as little pieces that add to the picture but it also means a lot of them are slightly redundant, easily dismissed, and the urge to skim read becomes increasingly tempting. I think I zoomed through this whole thing rather quickly in the end. As for the two protagonists, I can't say that I actually liked either of them to be honest but I especially found Lynne, the daughter, to be slightly insufferable. Not in any bad way, simply that she represents the banal middle-class rather beautifully and exhibits all the traits required for such a performative life (the book did remind me a little of Latronico's Perfection in this regard). She begins as an art student and over the years garners a certain amount of success as an artist possessing all the mundane political outlooks and opinions which such a person might. She marries an older man, Richard, doesn't want children, and fundamentally maintains a character which I found a tad cliched. Her mother is a little less overbearing, prone to keep at least one foot in the real world, but occasionally they write barbed letters to one another in a manner that strongly hints at anger, resentment, and an open dislike of one another. I guess this was Cooper's attempt at realism, making sure it never becomes too bland. For the most part, it's effective and overall I would say I enjoyed the book but found it mostly inoffensive and ultimately a little forgettable. There's something very light-weight about it, the story being trivial and bland, a snapshot of normality but one which is a little tedious, and it should be noted that the format is one which, I would imagine, was very easily manufactured given that it requires no plot, not great writing, and no particular effort. Plus, it's not exactly realistic, is it? People writing letters in 2014 etc. Cooper even comments on this in the form of an opening blurb by the daughter Lynne where she acknowledges (rather conveniently) it by reiterating: Well sure, in the fictional setting that's true but it's still a novel, Jeremy, still a piece of art created by an author. And, as such, you would hope there'd be a little more to it, a greater substance. But there isn't. So the book is very easy to read and did a reasonable job of (briefly) fleshing out two fictional creations into something more but was, when all is said and done, ultimately a rather gentle offering. I enjoyed Brian a lot more than this but I am still very much a fan of Cooper's writing. 7/10

I read Stone and Sky awhile back. I forgot to put it on my books read list. I thought it was one of his better books.

Hi All, Can anyone suggest a really excellent graphic novel? Something like Persepolis, Maus, Ghost World etc, but maybe a bit more modern. Thanks heaps in anticipation! 🙂

Naked in the Rain - Blue Pearl

Oh yes definitely, I do try to do most of them! In fact I've still got the folklore one outstanding, which I do intend to catch up with.

Singing in the Rain - Gene Kelly (this may be my favorite musical scene)

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope that you’ll consider the next category in the new year.

Jane Harper is another very good Australian author, she has a trilogy with investigator Aaron Falk as the main character, plus a few stand alone books too. Peter May is another author, he has several series set in various locations around the world, his Lewis trilogy (set on the Scottish island of Lewis) is excellent.

I really enjoyed the previous Peter Grant book, after a couple of slightly below par books, so good to see another one on the way.

I don't fancy Moby Dick, I read Animal Farm at school, and read all the Herriot books when they first came out! thanks for the suggestions but I think I'll give this category a miss.

Here comes the rain again - Eurythmics

Barry, the Fish with Fingers, is another book by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet. Adrian makes me laugh, because the other fish ask Barry what he can do with his fingers. While Barry explains he can cut paper chains, knit and play with finger puppets, Adrian has taken to walking across the room, because the next page says 'tickling'. This makes me think Adrian has started to recognise words, but it is possible he recognised the picture.

I loved his book The Moon and Sixpence, loosely based on the artist Paul Gaugin and his life in Tahiti.
