@Stevevolkwriter Without the warping gravity of nostalgia I can honestly say I adore ‰Û÷The Invisible Man‰Ûª and the effects work still gives me a little prickle of awe.

There are some, in kindness we shall call them idiots, who conflate bookishness with timidity. There is nothing shy of faint-hearted about a book. To open one is to unlock a gate of possibility, to quest for knowledge and wonder. Books have bravery about them. – #CLNolan #Books

The first time the children of Woodhope spoke of contact with faeries was when they began to talk about the little man whose skin glistened like a beatle and who would give sermons to them from the hollow oak on the edge of the common. – An Account of the Woodhope Prophesies

It is Hookland Nokes. We can expect occult pisspuffinry, illegal parking by aliens from the Scaroc and Brian bloody Danebury writing a book every six months where he misidentifies some flasher in the woods as an apeman or some nudist swimmer as a meremaid. – #DICallaghan

@kayorchison There are eight words in the dictionary that do the job. Hooklanders talk of sour soil for a place avoided as it is suffering the effects of a curse. The term soureds is applied to people avoided for the same reason.

@kayorchison The jyngered (also spelled as as jingered) and the felled are words applied to those suffering longterm curses and viewed by some as being magnets of malignity.

Sometimes we walk the land and step upon an occulted faultine in place and spirit. Slip between the cracks in the ghost soil. An Alice-like tumble till we are in the dark commonwealth of netherworld. We do not return to the surface, escape the hollow hills unchanged. – #CLNolan
