We watched UNWELCOME last night (same director as GRABBERS) and it was delightfully bonkers. I want to say more, but I don't want to spoil it!*

4 stars, A+, would recommend! Also, the dog doesn't die!

Bonus: Chief Miles O'Brien, Hodor, and Derry Girl Michelle Mallon.

*Look, I know, but I don't watch stuff at the theater, and I know I'm not the only one.

There's a fair amount of books and blogs on the fae that's available to us these days, but not an awful lot discussing them in relation to the modern world. 21st Century Fairy: The Good Folk In The New Millennium covers it and more with some fantastic discussion on some of our own biases and assumptions in thinking about them.

My review for Morgan Daimler's latest book:

Turning your clothes back to front is also a remedy for being pixie-led (led astray by the Fair Folk) in various parts of England

"I have heard but little reference to fairies among the people. There are vague references to men being pursued by fairies, who would ride on their horses behind them, or on the cart tail.

"Those over eighty tell me that in their young days grown up people and children believed that the fairies held their moonlight dances in an avenue of ash trees near the village, where there were well defined fairy rings in the soft turf, and aged people of that time were so convinced of the existence of these beings, that they would affirm that they had seen the dances going on, and that when a human being approached the fays would disappear.

"An old woman relates that in a field on a farm where she worked there was a deep hollow in the ground from which they said the fairies used to come, and the people at the farmhouse told her the fairies used sometimes to come to them from that place 'to borrow a sieve to sift their corn'."

- Hastings M. Neville, Rector of Ford, Northumberland, 1909

#PlotTwist: the spirit world or Other Side is as vague about our world as we are about it.
So while a couple of neighbors are banging on walls to tell the other to keep it down, some pipe-smoking #Seelie scholar is sitting in a chair in New Hy-Brasil reading when THUMP and they're like HOLY SHIT what was that.
A human occultist and a #FairFolk "mortalist" are both mocked for their views about the other world, and find themselves meeting and commiserating about how nobody appreciates their work

This is the kind of advice I'm seeking 😉🎃🧚
