#nowplaying #library #vinyl Red Kite by Astral Sounds. Nice synth ambient library LP till you get to track 4 (Coral) which was used as the theme to 80s kids nightmare provider ITV’s #Chocky based on the #johnwyndham novel, after which the tension of suppressed childhood trauma remains…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b9f7VBfzFjQ&pp=ygUNQ2hvY2t5IHRoZW1lIA%3D%3D

I had I fun afternoon today tracking down another three of the five 'Glaikit' plaques that have appeared around Glasgow recently.

Apart from the one I posted yesterday about the Elephants of Maryhill Locks, I think this one from the Botanic Gardens is my favourite. 🤣🤣🤣

I've still got the High Street one to find.

I'm a massive John Wyndham fan, so I'm super happy there are games being made based on his stories... but from the trailer of The Kraken Wakes I do worry the AI generated conversations are gonna be too stilted. Maybe I can play muted 🤣 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2100380/The_Kraken_Wakes/ #gaming #JohnWyndham #TheKrakenWakes

I'm a sci-fi fan but my tastes are strictly old school. I don't read anything written since the 90s. And not much written since the 60s, apart from some of the cyberpunk writers.

One of the first sci-fi novels I read was Arthur C. Clarke's The City and the Stars and I still regard it as one of the half dozen best sci-fi novels of all time.

Some writers I like -

HIVE MENTALITY: John Wyndham's novel #TheMidwichCuckoos has been regarded as a classic of British sci-fi horror & has been adapted many times over the years as #VillageOfTheDamned. But does Sky Max's version with #KeeleyHawes & #SamuelWest do it justice? https://pomonarewind.blogspot.com/2022/12/hive-mentality-midwich-cuckoos.html #horror #johnwyndham #skymax #scifi #maxbeesley #english

The first and best adaptation of #JohnWyndham's #TheMidwichCuckoos has an exceptional cast, including the odd coupling of #GeorgeSanders and #BarbaraShelley, and the unnervingly detached #MartinStephens as their son. Director #WolfRilla captures stark scenes of horror as stoic British men are driven to suicide, en route to a bittersweet climactic "triumph." #OnThisDay in 1960, MGM released influential pedophobic chiller #VillageoftheDamned in cinemas across New York and L.A.

È che io mi dimentico di questo social

Settimana scorsa sono tornato alla stessa bancarella dove l'anno scorso trovai Fanteria dello Spazio, con la speranza di trovare il romanzo che ha ispirato il film Il Villaggio dei Dannati e l'ho trovato al primo colpo!
I figli dell'invasione di John Wyndham.
