For an academic to diss Hookland, they first have to have heard of the county, which is in an odd way, a token of the reach they are deriding.

For the true tangle of the wood is its mystery. We shall never be clear of it. I should never want to be clear of it. – #CLNolan https://t.co/IDhIqeSB7X

The Key to the Seventh Map of God, from Cunning Mundle’s book of ‘Seals and Far Magic’. NB, the spelling of Seel likely makes an explicit reference to closing up the eyes of a hawk as part of the process of taming. https://t.co/YyPQMIUsc3

@Itsjustbeej @Ben_Aaronovitch No, it isn’t. Even though this tweet is a new iteration of one done first in 2014, it isn’t. Good writers and even bad ones, tend to get their ideas from what is loosely called reality, not each other. Nothing in Hookland is made-up, just remembered differently.

@Itsjustbeej @Ben_Aaronovitch We’ve had Punch and Judy in England since 1662,. It’s built up its own world-within-world mythology and leaked back out again in in ghostly echo long before 20th century fictions. It’s old and we writers, are often just good make-up artists, giving a bit of new polish.

@JoolzDenby As I said to much tutting during my recent talks at Falmouth and Sheffield Halham on folk horror, I have never seen it.
