I haven't been listening to much recently. Game Of Thrones Season Six Soundtrack and that's about it. So I've been trying to gather up what I've been missing. I start to feel 'off' if I go for a while without running into some new sounds. Feeling hot, bothered and a bit desperate earlier on today,… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Ragana
I am reading a lot of short stories right now...but the majority I'm abandoning half-way through because they're not satisfying me enough. Nowhere near in fact. And it's really bloody disappointing. A good, strong, memorable (ideally terrifying) short story can be as nourishing as a hot meal after a hard day. Dissatisfied with my reading… Continue reading Writing In The Dark : 3 Prompts For Short Stories

Her Instagram is this warren of bewitching and… Continue reading Shopping In The Dark : Akna Jewelry
My Nanna and I were close when I was small and blonde. She is one of the people who shaped me into this woman who's writing to you today. This wyrd, crazily enthusiastic, deeply passionate woman who never wants to do life half arsed. But then something happened, and our relationship started to come away… Continue reading Death, You Should Have Warned Me You Were Coming

This piece of art by Aleksandra Waliszewska was floating around on my Facebook news feed the other day... ..and I promptly became infatuated. I saved it to my desktop, vowing to myself that I'd do a post dedicated to her obscure artistry. Born in 1976 Aleksandra Waliszewska is considered to be one of Poland's most… Continue reading Art In The Dark : Aleksandra Waliszewska
So, if I am being perfectly honest, I didn't really feel much for the last Sisters Of The Black Moon collection. I found much of it a tad, well, unimpressive, and I hate to say this because I do love what the three soul sisters do with their venture. But, they have caught my attention… Continue reading Sisters Of The Black Moon New Collection
