Summary

A gripping, full-cast science-fiction drama for fans of time travel, conspiracy theories, and unexplained phenomena.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes.

Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

But is Earth safe? Could the Vanishing happen again?

To get answers, two teams are launched back in time–one to New York City before the Vanishing; another to follow a bizarre trail of clues through history, from Area 51 to the lost Roanoke colony, and beyond.

There are forces, though, that don’t want the Temporal mission to succeed. And a mysterious being whose own agenda might destroy them all.

Spooky kings suggest me spooky books for spooky season spooky please

gonna give you my whole-ass list so far you're spooky welcome

absolutely epic, spooky as hell, favourites, read these

all of these stood out to me for one reason or another or several. short stories denotes collections; novella means a short novel in the technical sense of the word (too long for a short story, too short for a novel); short novel means a novel-length book that I feel could be read quickly or in one sitting ("easy reading" but still very good); novel is the expected length of a novel; and long novel is a 800+ page epic.

@Lady-Merian said she was wanting some Celtic music recommendations, so I decided to inflict share some of the music I’ve liked. First off, see here for a general list of Celtic music recommendations, along with a few specific songs. What follows here is a list of specific songs, with links where feasible. Fair warning that these are an eclectic group and that some may smudge the line between Celtic and other genres (but that’s okay! Those lines tend to smudge anyhow).

First off, though, I really do recommend listening to some Thistle & Shamrock - either some of the programs (if you find a program listing that sounds interesting but there’s no program for you to listen to, try looking for it here) or the streaming radio station - as it’s a great source for finding songs.

My list of songs is below, though. Heads up that a few of these involve murder or attempted murder, if you’re sensitive to that (I can provide specifics, if needed).

Ashley Davis’s Night Travels and With You Tonight (actually, her entire Night Travels album is probably worth a listen).

Nicolette Macleod’s 1919.

Anais Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer’s Tam Lin and Willie’s Lady.

Iona Fyfe’s Sleepytoon & Earl Richard; her The Northern Lights is pretty too.

Kate Rusby and Kathryn Robert’s The Queen and the Soldier, The Constant Lovers, and Exile.

Emily Smith’s Sweet Lover of Mine, May Colven, and King Orfeo.

Solas’s Pastures of Plenty.

Cassie and Maggie’s Strip the Willow Set.

Joe McKenna’s Echo’s Calling.

Cara Dillon’s Here’s a Health.

Cathie Ryan’s So Here’s To You and What’s Closest to the Heart.

Mary Black’s A Song for Ireland, Turning Away, Siul a Ru’n, and St. Kilda Again.

The Singing Kettle’s The Train to Glasgow.

Enter the Haggis’s Down with the Ship.

Karine Polwart’s Follow the Heron (1:18), The Good Years (18:53), Dignity (I just found this one, but I think I like it - it mostly starts at 36:40), and Rivers Run (41:24).

I don’t know I’ve listened to the whole program, but Thistle and Shamrock did an interview with the writer & composer and played through the album These are the Hands. The whole thing is probably worth a listen, but if you want a couple of specific tracks, listen to Built on the Clyde (36:44) and Cutty Sark (51:52).

(I also think Thistle & Shamrock’s The Lost Songs of St. Kilda program is worth a listen; I remember some of the songs being pretty haunting.)

Maire Brennan was the last list, but I would especially recommend Follow the Word, Mary of the Gaels, and Bi Thus a Mo Shuile.

Loreena McKennitt was also on the last list, but a few specific songs, if you’re not familiar: The Lady of Shalott, Between the Shadows, Dante’s Prayer, Standing Stones, and Breaking of the Sword.

Finally, Dougie MacLean was also on the last list (and I listed some specific songs), but a few more to try: Solid Ground, Mary Queen of Scots, and She Loves Me (When I Try).

Lady grey, matcha, and peppermint!

Lady Grey: idk if I have any specific favorite outfit. I like my long black pleated skirt, I like a lot of my t-shirts and overshirts/ sweaters. Some standouts are the rose sweater, my really vivid button ups with the forest and wave patterns. I'm also just a fan of outfits where I get to wear tights, I think they look nice.

Matcha: Another hard one, I have a big soft spot for short horror fiction anthologies. I haven't finished it but whipping girl is very impactful to me. Unexplained by unexplained richard maclean......... smith is another personal fav. I don't particularly believe in any supernatural phenomenon but the stories about them are fun and also hold a lot of meaning. Extraterrestrials in the American zeitgeist is also in that vain, being less concerned with authenticity of a story and more about how stories reflect the politics and realities of the world around them (focusing ufo contactee tales). It's a bit of a tough read at the start if you listen to the authors podcast though because it starts by treading a lot of the same ground.

Peppermint: Halloween for looks. Christmas for quality of weather, and presence of winter treats.

Richard Burton as John Smith (or is it Johann Schmidt?) in Where Eagles Dare (1968).

The novelist Alistair MacLean had been asked to write an original screenplay for a movie by the producer Elliott Kastner. He started the process in 1967 and, when completed, moved on to write a novel based on this screenplay.

The novel ended up being released first (with no mention of there being an upcoming movie) leading many to think the film was based on the book when the reverse was the case.
