I've had a look at the new set of #NigelKneale stamps issued by #IsleOfMan Post Office.
Very stylish and just a bit spooky in the right light.

Sketchbook Quatermass & the Pit, 1958.

Beasts is a 6-part 1976 British horror anthology TV series created and written by Nigel Kneale. It mixes horror with scifi but you're never sure if anything genuinely non-natural has occurred. A strange offbeat unsettling but fascinating series.

I will of course be providing regular updates here about my exciting Kotlin learning journey. To make the most of it I suggest you take a few short minutes to watch this fun instructional video, because you're going to be seeing quite a few stills from it over the next few months.

Now reading ‘Oh, Mirror, Mirror’ by Nigel Kneale, 1949. #HorrorStories #ShortStories #NigelKneale
#horrorstories #shortstories #nigelkneale
It contains perhaps the greatest scare in British TV horror history (followed immediately by a well-timed ad break) and one of the grimmest endings. #OnThisDay
in 1989, ITV premiered #HerbertWise's bone-chilling #TheWomaninBlack, superbly adapted by #NigelKneale from #SusanHill's M.R. James-inspired 1983 book and with Adrian Pasdar great as the haunted, doomed (and renamed) Arthur Kidd.

New Nigel Kneale story!
Yes, really. Having bought the first edition of the excellent latest version of the Tomato Caine collection I got an email yesterday to say the second edition is coming out and it has a newly found story. They even sent us that story as a thank you for buying. It has lots of cats in it.
If you like Kneale, especially things like Beasts or Murrain, this is a cracking book.
