An early autumn link dump

A lot of link dumps on blogs are about techie stuff. This one isn’t.

While I do follow some techie blogs, the vast majority of the blogs I follow are about arts & culture, myth & folklore, landscape punk & hauntology, anarchism & utopianism, the gothic & neo-fabulism, and the Weird. All these people who have been quietly blogging away over the years, enriching my life.

Over at { feuilleton } John Coulthart blogged about Robert Lawson’s illustration for Edgar Allen Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher, on Orbific James Burt posted a call for submissions for Mycelium Parish News 2024, and Chris Otto at Papergreat posted about a 1920s postcard from Bruges.

At the Strange Company blog Undine wrote about The Ghost of Gloddaeth Woods, while on his blog M. John Harrison wrote about Victoria in the Sunken Land, and Paul Graham Raven over at Velcro City Tourist Board wrote about SchNEWS and reaching people in a different way.

Eleanor Janega at Going Medieval had a new post On side hustles, Sam at Romancing the Gothic wrote about their ‘A Scare a Day’ Challenge, and Phil Hine reviewed Dreams of Witches by Treadwell’s bookshop owner Christina Oakley Harrington.

Ailish Sinclair wrote about Gentle Autumn Days, Stephen Prince at A Year in the Country wrote about Takashi Doscher’s Still – Explorations of Southern Gothic / Wyrd Americana and Eternal Cycles, and Anna Fleming at Caught By The River wrote about Fungi Forms at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

These are just a fraction of the blog posts I read over the past week, and they were all delivered straight to my RSS/Feed Reader app in chronological order, with no algorithmic nonsense.

I use Inoreader as my feed reader (the Android app conveniently syncs with the browser version that I use on my desktop), but there are many other options, most of them free unless you’re following several hundred blogs (err, like I do).

I’ve done three link dumps in the past here, and I’m thinking of making them a monthly thing, to highlight some interesting new blog posts that deserve a bit of attention.
