My name is Katie Metcalfe and I’m an English author, blogger, poet and songwriter. I have a northern fever and tend to be a bit too wyrd for most people.
100 Good Things From 2022
I've been meaning to write again for a while, but I haven't had it in me for one reason or another. Full transparency - I ended 2022 exhausted. Mentally, emotionally, and physically worn the fuck out. Sure, 2022 saw fleeting triumphant moments, joyful moments, blissful moments, but for the most part, it was a harrowing… Continue reading 100 Good Things From 2022
Three Songs Currently Giving Me Goosebumps
every single time I listen to them. Which is often. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqgYbPlZNsM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpPJZJojQ4o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etIXDCSB_VU
Blóðnætur – Pet Sematary
So I have a new music project starting up. It's called Blóðnætur which means 'blood nights' in Icelandic. It's made up of myself (in case you didn't know, my other music foray is Witch Folk band Cave Mouth) and musican/composer JD Frew of horror synth project Bogwitch. We're two weird folk creating weird music in… Continue reading Blóðnætur – Pet Sematary
Valkyrie’s Lullaby, Etc.
Several months ago, Meghan Wood, my bandmate in Cave Mouth, sent me this video of Lasair inghen ui h'Airt performing her extraordinary song Valkyrie's Lullaby. Naturally, I became obsessed. I mean, who wouldn't? Of course, we needed to do a cover, no question about it. But life, as it has the want to do, became… Continue reading Valkyrie’s Lullaby, Etc.

Foggy days at home in the North York Moors National Park.
I’m Just Curious, But… : Would You Tell Your Friend They’re Being Cheated On?
I posted a question on Facebook yesterday. It said: Hypothetical question. No judgement. I'm just curious. If you know for a FACT that a friend of yours has been or is being cheated on by their significant other, would you tell them? I've now been in two relationships where both partners have cheated, and people… Continue reading I’m Just Curious, But… : Would You Tell Your Friend They’re Being Cheated On?
I Finally Grew Into My Sexuality
I took these photographs several months ago, after a liberating time in Iceland, where I essentially grew into my sexuality. It's taken thirty-five years to fully open up to how valuable sex is to me. Thirty-five years to realise who I am as a sexual being and what my body is capable of when I… Continue reading I Finally Grew Into My Sexuality
36 Today But In Dog Years I’m Dead
It's most certainly been a day. Not the happiest birthday I've ever had, nor the saddest. I was going to write a book-length post about 36 things I've learned in the 36 years I've been alive. But I've probably not learned enough to be qualified to write such a thing, especially considering my track record… Continue reading 36 Today But In Dog Years I’m Dead
The Death Knell Of My Love
I've just come back from a hike. The death toll from the dark and treacherous country lanes was high: Two hedgehogs One rabbit One pheasant One frog My pride (I wore my fluorescent yellow jacket for the first time tonight, as it starts getting dark absurdly early now.) I'd planned to use my walk to… Continue reading The Death Knell Of My Love
