Cover art by Gwinn (?) for The Inland Printer<\/a>, October 1901.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 The 50 British films that inspired a young Martin Scorsese<\/a>. No Michael Powell (or Hitchcock, for that matter) but I think we’re supposed to take The Archers as a given. And he’s always had a commendable taste for British horror; few directors of Scorsese’s stature would put so many Hammer films and minor chillers on a list like this.<\/p>\n

\u2022 New music: Grey Frequency return with Essentia<\/em><\/a>, an album that explores “the connections and conflicts between internal and external worlds, and our sense of place and function in an unfathomable, transcendent universe”. Ideal Halloween listening, as is much of the Grey Frequency catalogue, especially Paranormal<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “You don\u2019t want to have a brilliant idea for a novel at the age of 87,” says Alan Garner<\/a>. Justine Jordan reviews Treacle Walker<\/em>, the novel in question, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his gloomy tales, predominantly written in French, journalists disappear while hunting for esoteric secrets, ships sailing to mythic islands get lost in unreal waters, protagonists track down occult artefacts such as Dr Dee\u2019s black spirit mirror, and the living wander down alleyways that lead to the hereafter. These are all unfaithfully retold in Ray\u2019s uniquely arcane, often kaleidoscopic prose.<\/p>\n

Robert Davidson on Belgian author Jean Ray<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 “Poe brings forth, as if out of thin air, a grotesque world fully crystallized.” Sudipto Sanyal<\/a> on you-know-who.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Bandcamp Ed Blair<\/a> compiles a list of John Carpenter-like music beginning with an album from the man himself.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Wormwoodiana: Mark Valentine<\/a> on the current condition of second-hand bookshops in Britain.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mix of the week: Samhain S\u00e9ance 10: There and Back Again by The Ephemeral Man<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Dennis Cooper’s: Terence Hannum presents…Horror Soundtracks Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 No One Here Knows I’m a Vampire: A Spooky Matt Berry Reading List<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 New\/old music: Aqua<\/em><\/a> by Ryuichi Sakamoto.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More dark arts at Unquiet Things<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Treacle Toffee World<\/a><\/em> (1968) by The Fire | Treacle People<\/a><\/em> (1970) by UFO | Woodsmoke & Treacle<\/a><\/em> (2010) by Moon Wiring Club<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
