I ritualistically put some water on the stove to make some tea, tidied the shit off my desk (the kitchen table) and lit two white candles in preparation for writing this review of Sabat Magazine : The Mother Issue. It’s an extra special publication, so deserves extra special attention. When I first discovered Sabat –… Continue reading Review : Sabat Magazine – The Mother Issue
It's a rare thing a blog satisfies me enough that I'm there practically every single day, gorging on its contents. The purpose with Blogging In The Dark is to celebrate the blogs that have me coming back for more, and encourage me to uncover the other wyrdest, darkest, most addictive blogs the web has hidden… Continue reading Blogging In The Dark : These Unquiet Things
I've always paid attention to the costumes when I've been watching horror. I'm a real 'woman' like that. It's a little bizarre considering how feral I am. But we all have 'a thing,' don't we. Sometimes, if I'm watching a horror alone and a character is wearing something really fucking special, I'll rewind so I… Continue reading Dress Me In Horror : Part I
Seven Mile Mountain is something which I've kept in mind ever since WW&E went on a hiatus. I knew that it would be one of the very first things I'd write about when I made my return. The brainchild of the mysterious Sara Larocca-Ramm (who I happened to interview eons ago...), one third of Sisters… Continue reading Intriguing Instagrammers : Seven Mile Mountain
Have I been living in a cave for the past several months or was Darkthrone's 16th album Arctic Thunder something of a monumental flop? (Though I have to admit I'm a sucker for the album title which was, for the record, the name of a Norwegian heavy metal band who were active from the mid… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Darkthrone
So here we are, the first 'proper' post! And what better way to get things rolling than with talking about stuff I'd love to have but can't. List Of Lust is a very self-explanatory feature...I'm basically rounding up all the wyrd things that I've had my eye on over the past week, and putting them… Continue reading List Of Lust
I knew I wouldn't be able to say goodbye for long. I was like a mother who was denying her baby the breast...I felt bloody terrible for stepping away. A few days after I made my 'last' post, where I talked about not knowing the future of Wyrd Words & Effigies, I was itching to… Continue reading The Wyrd Is Back
You may have noticed that it's been a bit quiet around here recently...but for good reason. 2017 has already been a year of monumental change for me, and as the weeks have gone by, it's become ever more evident my blogs need some revitalization so they can move forward with me into this new era… Continue reading A Voice From The Shadows
If you were born in the 80's you should remember watching the Moomins, and you ought to remember one of the show's best and most disturbing characters, The Groke (or in Swedish, Mårran. Morra means to growl; or to grumble). I can still remember my little heart rate increasing when she made he first appearance… Continue reading Moomintroll And The Groke
How do I even describe Black Mare? The solo project of Sera Timms, it's some so completely and utterly removed from anything I've heard before. The music has crawled so deep under my skin I don't think it's ever coming back out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyxql6jor_k
Celebrating the strange and the shadowy, the damned and unseen
