Who doesn't love a list?

Who doesn’t love a list?

IDK if I’m overly organized, if it’s my ADD, or maybe I’m just a huge nerd, but I love lists. I have stacks of lists to do, to buy, to read, to research… Sometimes, if I am feeling particularly unproductive, I’ll make a reverse list, I write down something I’ve done, so I can cross it off. It’s cathartic. I looked at a lot of influencers lists when I was planning my October ‘content’, but they…

The Horror Writer: A Study of Craft and Identity in the Horror Genre, compiled and edited by John Mynhardt, Hellbound Books, 2020. Cover art by Bill O’Rly, info: hellboundbookspublishing.com.

We have assembled some of the very best in the business from whom you can learn so much about the craft of horror writing: Bram Stoker Award winners, bestselling authors, a President of the Horror Writers’ Association, and myriad contemporary horror authors of distinction. The Horror Writer covers how to connect with your market and carve out a sustainable niche in the independent horror genre, how to tackle the writer’s ever-lurking nemesis of productivity, writing good horror stories with powerful, effective scenes, realistic, flowing dialogue and relatable characters without resorting to clichéd jump scares and well-worn gimmicks. Also covered is the delicate subject of handling rejection with good grace, and how to use those inevitable “not quite the right fit for us at this time” letters as an opportunity to hone your craft. Plus... perceptive interviews to provide an intimate peek into the psyche of the horror author and the challenges they work through to bring their nefarious ideas to the page. And, as if that – and so much more – was not enough, we have for your delectation Ramsey Campbell’s beautifully insightful analysis of the tales of H.P. Lovecraft.

Powys terriers ran amok and killed sheep on three farms

Powys terriers ran amok and killed sheep on three farms

AN 80-year-old man has surrendered five of his dogs after his terriers ran amok and killed and injured sheep on three different farms in rural Radnorshire.

Ronald William Robinson, from Pantydwr, near Rhayader, admitted three counts of being the owner of a dog worrying livestock when he appeared at Llandrindod Wells Magistrates’ Court this week.

The incidents took place on February 9 this year at Alltllyd Farm, Hendrerhiw Farm and Cefn-Llech Farm.

Prosecutor Stephen Davies told magistrates on Wednesday, November 9, that the attacks happened at around 4pm.

He said: “Steven Hughes and Norman Williams were dredging and injecting sheep at Elwyn Price’s farm.

“When they released the last batch, they heard dogs barking in a field behind farmhouse and they saw one ewe being singled out by black dog, while a second terrier type dog was running over the hill towards Ronald Robinson’s house.

“The black dog was seen grabbing hold and biting the head of one ewe, it suffered wounds to the face and jaw, while one ewe nearby was dead. They entered another field and could see the dog attacking another ewe before running off.”

Mr Davies said Mr Hughes chased one dog across three fields on a quad bike.

Another dead ewe was later found and the men visited Robinson’s Cae Cethin smallholding where 4-5 terriers were found in a cage.

“One witness saw a dog with blood on his head and said it was responsible, which is when Ronald Robinson became defensive,” said Mr Davies.

After being spoken to by police in March, Robinson agreed to surrender five of his dogs to the Dogs Trust.

“Farmer David Williams said Ronald Robinson’s dogs had killed a number of sheep over the years and escaped regularly, which always resulted in sheep being killed,” said Mr Davies.

Representing Robinson, Owain Jones said: “Dogs are his life, they keep him company in a rural part of the countryside, but he knows he needs to do better.

“He is not in good health himself, he has a poor memory and is a vulnerable adult.”

Robinson was fined £80 for each offence and must pay £85 costs and a £34 surcharge. He was also ordered to pay a veterinary bill of £398.49 which had to be paid to treat and euthanise the sheep.

Holy Coves brand new ‘Druids And Bards’ Album Out 14th of October 

North Wales Psych Rock band ‘Holy Coves’ are to release their highly anticipated new ‘Druids And Bards’ album via North Wales label ‘Yr Wyddfa Records’ on Friday 14th of October. 

A very diverse album that ducks in and out of the hazy psych rock / garage rock genre with very ‘Tame Impala’ esq connotations that make ‘Druids And Bards’ a diverse and exciting listen to start to finish. 

The band shares their latest offering that comes in the shape of new single ‘Away We Go’ that demonstrates the band’s ability to write catchy psych drenched pop as well as their previous stoner/garage tinted noise, which is a great position to be in as their next album really is their oyster of choice.

Championed by Gary Crowley on BBC Radio London and Playlisted on Amazing Radio's A List, with BBC Radio Wales support from Huw Stephens and Adam Walton, North Wales Indie-Psych Band Holy Coves have had quite a year so far. They share a brand new single called 'Away We Go' before their highly anticipated new 'Druids And Bards' album is released via Yr Wyddfa Records on the 14th of October. Through long time friend and Producer David Wrench, 'Holy Coves' were put in touch with Texan Producer Erik Wofford (The Black Angels / Explosions In The Sky) and have built quite a magical working relationship, one where Wofford found himself on Mixing and Mastering duties for the material and certainly contributes to their new sound. Photo Credits: Dai Eastwood Art: Jon Safari Art  Design: Beth Morris BAM Create All songs written: Scott Marsden Lyrics: Scott Marsden Produced: Scott Marsden & John Lawrence Engineered: John Lawrence Mixed and Mastered: Erik Wofford (Bill Callaghan / The Black Angels) Scott Marsden - Vocals, & Guitar John Lawrence - Guitar (Gorky's Zygotic Mynci) Owain Ginsberg - Guitar & Synths (WE//ARE//ANIMAL / Hippies Vs Ghosts) Jason Hughes - Bass (The Painkillers) Spike T Smith - Drums (Morrissey / The Damned) Recorded at Penhesgyn Hall Studio, Menai Bridge, Isle of Anglesey. Mixed and Mastered at Cacophony Recorders, Austin, Texas USA
