Someone many years ago, who expressed themselves by tongue of wisdom and fire, told me that if a person afflicted by illness and dark demeanor wished to release themselves from these maladies, they could do no better than immerse themselves beneath the Ocean waves. Submersion just as the dawn Sun peaked, or set, over the…
Alluvion: Of floodwaters and ghost transportation
The world is a blur. The incessant rain drums against the windows and conservatory roof, crackling like bracken pods in flame. The flood-gates have opened and no-one knows quite how to close them back up. All is saturated; swollen rivers heave and burst.

Another pattern
“I’m aware… of a recent change of attitude in myself, and at once not only my old stories have come to look different to me, but life itself looks different. I could not write my old stories again, or any more like them; and not because I do not see the same details as before,…
Di Inferi: The Gods of The Deep
– Of contact, dream and memory… …The drums reverberate through the Land.

Welcome to Tremoribus Subterraneis
We sat over a pint, a regular haunt of esotericists, witches, necromancers and Typhonians near the British Museum, deep in conversation. The hustle and bustle of those partaking in after-work drinks and kicking off their weekends faded to insignificance… “In the Chimehours is no more, I’ve taken everything down” “You need a creative outlet” “I…
